Hi, and thanks for this review On 19/07/2013 20:25, intrigeri wrote: First, was the target distribution change in debian/changelog intentional? (0.4.12 has experimental, 0.4.13 has unstable.) Yes it is; the target distribution was set to experimental for the wheezy's freeze duration... after what it was forgotten. Do you think I should revert to experimental ? Second, it looks like important changes and refactoring are flowing in rather quickly, so I'd like to check that you are confident with the current state of bilibop, and believe it is stable enough to be part of a Debian release. Do you confirm this? The most important changes are about debconf support, which has been added to bilibop-rules. I consider this as an improvement. Maintainer scripts are idempotent. I have tested bilibop-rules 0.4.13 installation in several ways: fresh install (with or without preseeding it), upgrade from 0.4.11, remove, reinstall, purge: all seems to work as expected. Other things are mainly addition of comments in the shell library, update of the documentation, and some changes in the code to take into account some very specific usecases. So yes, I am confident with the current state of bilibop (but yes, this was not the case with 0.4.12 - less than one day of lifetime!). Also note that bilibop is still in active development, and some enhancements are planned for the next months or even next years; of course, important attention is given to not break existing things. Also, please keep in mind that once bilibop is uploaded to Debian, the responsibility of backward compatibility will be yours, as the maintainer. This being said, while I certainly wouldn't mind a bit more abstraction / factorization at some places, the code looks solid enough :) Some nitpicking follows, that should be fixed before the initial upload IMHO: +myshell=$(awk -F: \$1 ~ /$(whoami)/ {print \$NF} /etc/passwd) Maybe use `getent' instead? Fixed. Also Lintian says: I: bilibop-common: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man1/drivemap.1.gz informations information ... and a few others, so you probably want to run it in verbose / pedantic mode and take the results into account. Mh... I already used '--info --verbose --pedantic' in my script. I thought it was enough, as mentors.debian.net/package/bilibop says 'Package is lintian clean'. The tags you mention are catched by '--display-info'. Fixed. So, here is the new version: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bilibop/bilibop_0.4.14.dsc Cheers quidame signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Other potential sponsors: if you can be faster than me, please do. So, I don't understand the interest/benefit to build a non-native source package that would be used only on Debian. The only benefit, and the reason why I mentionned this as a possibility, would be to have a way to differentiate, in the version numbers, new releases that only change the packaging, from releases that change things deeper. All this because you seemed to be reluctant to increase the version number for minor changes in debian/control and stuff. But I don't care, really. Both native and non-native would do. Surely it is entirely possible, but I don't think everything possible must be done. Obviously.

This was not a question of time. Here is the new version: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bilibop/bilibop_0.3.0.dsc Another possibility would be to move to non-native and increment the Debian revision number only. In the present case, we would move from 0.2-1 to 0.2-2, which would reflect the actual changes quite better. For me, this solution, if it is one, implies a lot of issues: For bilibop-common, of course, no problem. With some minor changes, maybe bilibop-rules could be fully portable too. But bilibop-lockfs, in its actual state, is distribution dependent; it depends on initramfs-tools, which is a Debian native source package. If I rewrite bilibop-lockfs to make it more portable (i.e to integrate it in the 'dracut' infrastructure) it will never be installed on Debian, because the default initramdisk builder is initramfs-tools, which conflicts with dracut. But maybe I'm wrong and I have a bad overview on this issue. Maybe bilibop-lockfs could be only a debian patch. Or what ? I think it is entirely possible, even though not perfectly elegant, to turn the package into a non-native one without immediately making the code distro-independent and well separated between the Debian patch and the upstream code. Some tests with other distributions and some investigations in the udev source package have shown that bilibop-rules is distribution dependant too: for example, with CentOS or OpenSUSE, usb drives are owned by the 'disk' group. Bilibop-common is the result of the split of bilibop into bilibop-rules and bilibop-lockfs (because the first one can be used only on removable devices, including LiveUSB; and the second one can be used on any internal or external system except Live). So, I don't understand the interest/benefit to build a non-native source package that would be used only on Debian. Surely it is entirely possible, but I don't think everything possible must be done.

Le 2012-06-05 20:57, intrigeri a écrit : Here is a first, quick review. Thank you. The whole thing is arch:all, but some shell functions require a Linux kernel shouldn't bilibop-common have a versioned dependency on Linux kernel = 2.6.37 (needed by backing_file_from_loop), and be arch:linux-any instead? I don't know exactly how to do a versioned dependency on the kernel. With a list of alternatives of *generic* (meta or dummy) packages? like: linux-image-486 (= 2.6.37) | linux-image-686 (= 2.6.37) | linux-image-686-bigmem (= 2.6.37) | linux-image-686-pae (= 2.6.37) | linux-image-amd64 (= 2.6.37) ... linux-image-itanium (= 2.6.37) | and so on with 'powerpc', 'sparc64', 'sparc64-smp', plus the 'openvz' and 'vserver' variants, the list is very long... Should I give an exhaustive list of kernels, including all exotic achitectures, some of them being relative to computers having even no USB, FireWire or eSATA ports (but I don't know which), or what? I'm looking for another package that could provide me an usable example of such versioned kernel dependency, but I fail. I've tried with just 'linux-image (= 2.6.37)', but lintian sends a warning: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends. Can I override it (with override_dh_lintian in the rules) ? I think I need help. Additionally, changing 'all' by 'linux-any' leads to the creation of architecture dependent binaries (formally, by their names), but with exactly the same contents: shell scripts, udev rules, manpages and other plain text documents. So, I'm not sure that it is the best way. Maybe, for bilibop-common, Architecture: linux-any, and for the others, Architecture: all ? Do you think a NOTE in the extended description and/or in the README could be sufficient ? (due to the fact that bilibop-* already depend on base-files (= 6.4) and could be available from Wheezy or even later, is there really a chance that it can be installed on systems with a kernel older than 3.0 ?) Quotes such as in « disk » are no international symbols, and I've seen English native speakers misinterpret those. Fixed. You want an URI to a versioned copyright format: Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ (catched by lintian --pedantic). Fixed. Any Vcs-Git / Vcs-Browser field? If you have none ready, I suggest setting up a Git repository in collab-maint on Alioth. I will think about it, later (I have to learn git before). Given the Maintainer is a collective email address, we need at least one human listed in the Uploaders: field (Debian Policy §3.3) -- note that this field has nothing to do with who actually sponsors the uploads; either put yourself, a co-maintainer, or the first sponsor if they are willing to take the responsibility to act as co-maintainers. Fixed. Why does bilibop-common's postinst and postrm run update-initramfs? Ooops... yes, this is an error (remaining files from old version). Fixed. The debian/changelog entry must close the ITP bug. OK The debian/rules header about Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper should be removed. Removed. Why the need to disable override_dh_pysupport by hand? The need ? None.

Bug#675532: RFS: bilibop/0.1 (ITP #675467)
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package bilibop * Package name: bilibop Version: 0.1 Upstream Author: bilibop project quid...@poivron.org * URL: https://poivron.org/~quidame/bilibop_project/ * License: GPL-3.0+ Section: admin It builds those binary packages: bilibop - run Debian from external media - metapackage bilibop-common - shell functions for bilibop scripts bilibop-lockfs - lock filesystems and write changes into RAM bilibop-rules - udev rules for OS running from external media To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/bilibop Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bilibop/bilibop_0.1.dsc To know more: The bilibop suite is designed to help admins to maintain a Debian OS installed on a removable and writable media. One of its main goals is to fix security issues or harden standard rules and policies, to make the system more robust in this particular situation. bilibop-common functions use proc, sysfs and udev databases to query informations about block devices. The drivemap command shows them in a tree of dependencies. bilibop-rules fixes bug #645466: using the bilibop-common functions, the udev rules file fixes the external disk hosting the running system, and all its partitions, as members of the 'disk' group instead of 'floppy'; dm-crypt, LVM, loop devices and aufs root filesystems (and any combination of them) are supported. bilibop-lockfs can be used as an alternative to the 'fsprotect' package (especially for OS on USB stick), with additional features: - whitelist based configuration: all is protected but the listed fs/mountpoints - not only filesystems are set readonly, but also block devices - swap device management - notifications are send to the user about filesystems status (about temporary or permanent changes) Thanks for your attention quidame -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-486 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
