RFS: quickrdp/1.1.6-1 or how to proceed
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package quickrdp. * Package name: quickrdp Version : 1.1.6-1 Upstream Author : Tobias Eliasson arnes...@gmail.com * URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/quickrdp/ * License : GPLv3 Section : x11 It builds one binary package; quickrdp. quickrdp - Manages RDP, telnet and SSH connections QuickRDP is a connection manager program for your remote desktop, telnet or SSH connections. Makes it easy to keep track of all your connections. Write your own perl scripts and execute them on your connections, connect to all hosts selected with one command, easily locate your connections with a simple search bar. Used with your own favorite RDP, SSH or telnet application, tailor the arguments passed to the program of your choice to gain the most of QuickRDP. To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/quickrd I have been trying for a while to find a sponsor for my package, however no one seems to be interested in sponsoring for this specific package. The package has been lintian clean for several months. There are no critical bugs or defects written on this package upstream.

Hi,
--cut--
There are multiple implementations of telnet in Debian. Does quickrdp
really need this particular one provided by the telnet binary
package? If not, then the recommendation/suggestion should be changed
to telnet-client.
Not really sure I understand. From what I could search, there is no
package called telnet-client. To me it seems that the package telnet
is actually the proper 'telnet-client' package.
'telnet-client' is a virtual package (as in Policy#3.6) provided by several
real packages, which share more or less the same functionality, so other
packages requiring such functionality can simply depend on the virtual package
without having to specify any particular real package(s) from the list. You
can try 'apt-get install telnet-client' to see the list of real packages. Of
course, if you really have good reasons to depend on a particular real
package, then you do so.
Same goes for perl-base, but that's just for perl script support in
QuickRDP. I guess Suggests will work here aswell.
Do I understand correctly that this feature allows users to run their
own Perl scripts? If this is the case, it should be probably perl,
not perl-base.
Yes, users running their own perl scripts with arguments from the
specific connections. Alright, switching to perl. Reason i chose
perl-base was due to the description saying minimal Perl system.
I don't understand why Lintian complains on
helper-template-in-copyright. I can't see that it's actually a
template anymore. Sure I used dh_make to create the template, but
I've changed all parts I should as far as I understand... (obviously
not though).
It doesn't like Upstream Author(s). Just remove the (s).
Alright, thanks.
And why out-of-date-standards-version is 3.8.4 instead of 3.9.2 I
have no idea.
Standards-Version: 3.8.4 is in debian/control, isn't it?
Yes, it is. What I meant to ask would rather be; is it because I'm
running stable version of Debian that dh_make generates 3.8.4 instead of
3.9.2? Due to the explanation above that packaging focuses on unstable
and testing I guess switching to Squeeze on this machine would be the
best option for me.
Well you should prepare, build and test you package on a system ('suite' in
ftpmaster terms) you intend to upload to, that is, the one your declare in
your debian/changelog. Maintaining 'unstable' instance on your 'stable' system
should be relatively easy, by using:
* chroots - via cowbuilder, schroot (to name a few) to install, upgrade,
login to your chrooted system. This is as fast as your main system is, but
running X inside a chroot is tricky;
* virtual machines - this could be significantly slower, but more realistic
environment. For instance, you can pick a ready-to-go qemu image from:
http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/ and upgrade appropriately.

* Tobias Eliasson arnes...@gmail.com, 2012-01-15, 01:05: Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/quickrdp/quickrdp_1.1-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. The comment at the top of d/rules doesn't make sense. Please remove it. debian/docs is empty. Just remove it. Why Priority: extra? The upstream makefile hides compilation commands. Please patch it not to do that. The program is built without debugging information. This is violation of a should policy (§10.1). The program is built with -O3 optimization even when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt is used. You recommend tsclient, but this package has been removed form unstable (see bug #547314). Does anybody uses telnet these days? I think recommending it is overkill, maybe Suggests would be more appropriate. What is perl-base recommendation for? Essential packages in Recommends looks a bit suspicious.
