Bug#660128: RFS: heybuddy/0.2.3-1 [ITP] (16th week)
Build-dependency on python is insufficient. As per dh_python2
manpage, it should be (= 2.6.6-3~).
Fixed.
Similarly, Depends of the binary package is not sufficient. Please
use ${python:Depends} (instead of hard-coded python (= 2.6)),
so that dh_python2 can generate the dependency automatically.
Fixed.
What is /usr/share/pixmaps/heybuddy.png for? Also, aren't files in
/usr/share/pixmaps/ supposed to be in XPM format? (Please forgive my
ignorance on this subject.)
heybuddy.png is its icon image file. A quick scroogle search for debian
filelist /usr/share/pixmap png shows many packages shipping both .xpm
and .png files, and as there are no lintian complaints in respect to
that, I'm going to assume that's not a problem.
Shebang of the script is #!/usr/bin/env python.
#!/usr/bin/python is strongly preferred (see Python Policy 3.1).
Added a quilt patch to solve that, thanks.
Copyright/license of CertificateValidatingHTTPSHandler.py is not
documented in debian/copyright. Is CC-BY-SA-3.0 compatible with
GPL-3?
CC-BY-SA 3.0 is accepted by the DFSG, but not by the GPLv3. I've emailed
the upstream author about the subject. For now, debian/copyright has
been solved.

Bug#659522: RFS: prelink/20111012-1 [QA]
Dear Mentors,
There's a new version of prelink up at mentors.debian.net.
Here is the full changelog:
prelink (0.0.20111012-1) unstable; urgency=low
* QA upload.
* New upstream release. (LP: #731719)
* Switched to source format 3.0 (quilt).
- Refreshed all patches.
* Bumped debhelper compat level to 7.
* Some lintian complaints solved.
- Add ${misc:Depends}
- Changed deprecated dh_clean -k by dh_prep in debian/rules
- Added build-arch and build-indep to debian/rules
- Added a debian/watch file
- debian/NEWS doesn't use a bulleted list anymore
- Added a Homepage field
- execstack's Conflicts: prelink is now Replaces: prelink
- Added dh_md5sums to binary-arch
- debian/rules now imports dpkg build flags
- postrm uses set -e in its body rather than in #!
- Added prelink.pdf to doc-base
- hyphens.patch solves the hyphens - minus signs lintian complaint
- manpage-spelling.patch corrects a spelling mistake (Closes: #418805)
* Bumped standards version to 3.9.3.0. No changes needed.
In respect to the last upload, I've added the changes in -5 and -6, and
I've added three more fixes of my own: doc-base, hyphens.patch and
manpage-spelling.patch. With these three, we can now assure prelink is
100% lintian clean, including all pedantic warnings :-)
I've read quite a bit on the kfreebsd-i386 problems with ELF, but I
have encountered a different solution in every thread on the internet.
Some said to patch libelf.h, which is sadly not shipped with prelink. We
have libelf-0.7.0.patch, but that patchs a nonexistent file. We do have
libelf.m4, but I have no clue as to how to modify it.
Some other threads suggest moving on to elfutils, but I'm not sure how
would that be done. Since debian/rules makes no reference to any of the
two, I suppose it would need a quilt pach.
Anyhow, for now this is as far as I've gotten.
Cheers.

retitle 659522 RFS: prelink/0.0.20111012-1 [QA upload] - ELF prelinking utility to speed up dynamic linking thanks Guys, I started my package again from scratch from 0.0.20090925-4 to make sure all your changes are taken into account. Problem is, for some reason I'm stuck with the switch to 3.0 (quilt). Did any of you change debian/rules? Anyhow, this is the basic procedure to get to my error: apt-get source prelink cd prelink* deb3 (deb3 is a script that converts all dpatch patches to quilt and adds the 3.0 (quilt) bit to source/format) repack *.diff.tar.gz into *.debian.tar.gz and try to build. It will throw these errors shorty after gcc: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccH3oLmR.o: undefined reference to symbol 'bar' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'bar' is defined in DSO ./reloc1lib1.so so try adding it to the linker command line ./reloc1lib1.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status cp: cannot stat `reloc1': No such file or directory FAIL: reloc1.sh PASS: reloc2.sh /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccP4mMtb.o: undefined reference to symbol 'f3' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'f3' is defined in DSO ./reloc3lib1.so so try adding it to the linker command line ./reloc3lib1.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status strip: 'reloc3': No such file cp: cannot stat `reloc3': No such file or directory FAIL: reloc3.sh There's about two pages of them, then fails and so doesn't build. The deb3 script is well able to convert all the patches with no errors, that's not the cause. This happens with 20111012-1 as well, in the exact same way. I've tried compat level 9 on both of them, both failed equally. Since the last time I did the 20111012-1 package from 2090925-1 it worked flawlessly with the same dpatch - quilt script, I'm assuming some change took effect between revisions 1 and 4 that broke this package for quilt, but apparently not for dpatch. Any clues? P.S. I tried once again, now deleting debian/patches completely. 3.0 without patches fails, but 1.0 succeeds both with and without patches. -- Daniel Martí - mv...@mvdan.cc - GPG 0x58BF72C3 pgpk1rXsFyZai.pgp Description: PGP signature

Is it the Lintian description that confused you to repack the archive instead of patching it ? Thanks for looking over the package. And sorry for the delay. I did not know we could have orig's packaged in any other format other than .tar.gz. I suppose renaming it to prelink-20111012.orig.tar.bz2 would be enough?

Bug#658426: xfonts-bolkhov/20001007-7 [ITA] -- Cyrillic fonts for X
tag 658426 - moreinfo thanks Dear Ansgar, The new .orig.tar.gz has been modified because the folder it contained was xfonts-bolkhov-1.1.20001007.orig, instead of xfonts-bolkhov-1.1.20001007. I just renamed that folder and repacked the orig file. I know this breaks the new revision thing, but as far as I know the correct thing to do is to remove the orig part. What do you think about it? If you think I should've left the orig tarball intact anyway, please do tell me. I'll re-upload the package to mentors.debian.net since 3.9.3 has been released, as well.

Bug#660128: RFS: heybuddy/0.2.3-1 [ITP]
Dear Jakub and Benoît, Thanks for your help. I've learned quite a lot from fiddling with debhelper. There is a new revision of heybuddy up at mentors.debian.net: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/heybuddy/heybuddy_0.2.3-1.dsc I've solved these issues: * debian/watch. Typo. * debian/control. Spell checking stuff moved to suggests (yes, both are needed), bumped to 3.9.2. * Moved manpage to (1). * Now using dh $@ --with python2, with dh_auto_install overrides. It seems to work; correct me if anything is wrong. * Cleared the manpage from the stuff you told me (wrong copyright holder, AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT). It has also been rewritten. * Added #! and set -e to both postinst and prerm scripts. I hope /bin/bash is fine, or should it be /bin/sh? Stuff I haven't solved: - Modules are not re-byte-compiled when the default Python version changes. * How should I solve this? I understand the problem, but scroogling around hasn't shown me any tips. - In the same file, you run compileall unconditionally; I guess it should only run during configure. * Pardon my ignorance, but the link to the debian guide you attached doesn't give any kind of specific help and I have absolutely no idea as to how to solve this issue. I'm obviously open to more suggestions, and welcome any patience you put in this :-) Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel Martí - mvdan.cc - 0x58BF72C3 signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Adopting
Hello, I already downloaded and analyzed the source code so I want to start working on it. Also, what does maintaining means? Just correcting bugs or improving it? Like UI or something? Maintaining a package is to do all the work of taking a non-Debian work and making it a Debian package, conforming with Debian policy, receiving and addressing bug reports on the package, advocating for its users, and so on. Have in mind you don't need to be a programmer to do such work; many packages just need lintian cleaning (debian/*) and bug fixing, which can often be either easily fixed or forwarded to upstream :-) Cheers! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thanks for your quick reply, Arno. Arno Töll deb...@toell.net wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 tags 658432 +moreinfo +wontfix thanks Hi Daniel, On 02.02.2012 23:45, Daniel Martí wrote: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xeji/xeji_1.2-15.dsc First let me point out, I don't see much reasons to upload this package to Debian (not that I could anyway). It was orphaned and should rather be removed than uploaded. You even say yourself your primary purpose is to learn packaging [1], hence I'd suggest you to pick a package you really care for instead. Of course. I did not know packages could be left aside for that reason; thanks for pointing that out The package you picked has a low popcon [2] no reverse dependencies and seems generally not helpful at all. That said, if you really want to maintain this package that's up to you. Here is a review: * You modified the orig.tar.gz tarball somehow: $ md5sum deb-version/xeji_1.2.orig.tar.gz mentors-version/xeji_1.2.orig.tar.gz afc838ca6174ac98d67b1580832e24d4 deb-version/xeji_1.2.orig.tar.gz 68893c38485b8063cdd6fbe81da76e11 mentors-version/xeji_1.2.orig.tar.gz That's not acceptable, especially since the tarball was already uploaded to Debian archives. Thus, you are not allowed to change the tarball anymore, once it was uploaded without pushing a new upstream version. Hmm, I don't know what happened there. I don't recall modifying orig.tar.gz. Feel free to remove the wontfix tag once you addressed the tarball issue. Everything else is of lower importance. Since I won't adopt this package, should I re-orphan it and close this bug? Or is there something else I should do? * debian/compat 6 is somewhat outdated these days. Joey released debehelper 9 just recently. Note, using compat 6 is not a tragedy, but you would profit from using compat 7 or higher a lot. * The synopsis line of the package is not really helpful (yet another whatever does not help anyone) and does not match our guidelines [3]. * You use the old copyright format, consider upgrading to DEP-5 instead (that's optional of course). * Why do you install manpages manually in debian/rules? You should use dh_installman instead. This makes both, the install rule and the dirs file unneeded. * You should use the short dh form. Check [5] and dh(1) for examples. Most people consider the old-style debhelper form deprecated. While you are it, remove the source and diff targets. They are obsolete since ages it appears. * The package breaks the hardening release goal [6]. See [7] to learn how to apply hardening flags. * Since you upgraded to 3.0/quilt there is no point to add manpages as a patch anymore. Just put the file into debian/ and install it as I outlined above. * patches/xeji_c.patch misses an appropriate DEP-3 header (that's optional again) * Don't override I: and W: tags in Lintian. Moreover, note your explanation for overriding copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl is wrong. That's not what the tag is about. * Remove the README.Debian file. The URL is dead and its information is redundant to debian/copyright. Thanks for the feedback. Apart from the switch to quilt, all the comments above refer to stuff that the old maintainer did without much documentation.

Orphan it again. Regarding this bug you can either close it or we reassign to ftpmaster and ask them for a package removal. Orphaning again, OK.

It is your job to bring a package in shape if you want to take it over. :) Agreed.

Re: dput only .dsc file is uploaded .
Make sure the .orig.tar.gz and .debian.tar.gz are correctly named, and if you are just doing a debian update (e.g. upstream.version-2) make sure to build the package with dpkg-buildpackage -sa. Then, dput mentors *.changes should do the trick. Alex Mestiashvili a...@biotec.tu-dresden.de wrote: Hi All , I run into a problem with package upload to mentors .

Questions on maintaining xeji
Hello, my name is Daniel and I've recently filed an ITA against the RFA bug for xeji (wnpp list). I've gone though most part of the new maintainer's guide, as well as the packaging basics. I do know how to make a package from scratch and build it, but I am having more trouble with creating a new revision for xeji (which would close the ITA bug). Would any of you be willing to be my mentor and guide me through this? I am not looking for a teacher, but just for some specific assistance and sponsorship. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance for your time.

Hello Daniel, Thanks for your interest in this package. It looks simple enough to be a perfect first package ! The basic thing for preparing a package would be to add a new changelog entry, and of course fix a few things for your first upload. For example, you can make the package lintian clean (including removing some unnecessary overrides). I know how I must update the changelog and the maintainer in the description (control?). Any other files I should change? Of course, I should sign it with my own key. You can do it by hand or using the dch tool (from the devscripts package). But the best would be to use a VCS helper such as git-buildpackage. The intermediate steps are not visible in the resulting .dsc and .debs, but it helps you remember where you were and allows easier collaboration (just like with source code). If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask in this thread, so that either me or another one can reply to them. In fact, I do :-) What should I send to the sponsor, the .deb file or some other file? Have a nice day !
