Re: Bug#894128: Acknowledgement (RFS: fclib/3.0.0 -- read and write problems in the Frictional Contact Library format)

[Anton Gladky]

Hi Stephen,

your package looks very good! A couple of notes:

1) Please clarify and add in d/copyright an information about
license of CSparse files. It is extremely important.
2) I am not able to download the tarball using watch-file:
uscan --force-download

Could not read ..//FrictionalContactLibrary/fclib/archive/v3.0.0.tar.gz:
No such file or directory at /usr/bin/mk-origtargz line 398.
uscan: error: mk-origtargz --package fclib --version 3.0.0
--compression gzip --directory .. --copyright-file debian/copyright
..//FrictionalContactLibrary/fclib/archive/v3.0.0.tar.gz subprocess
returned exit status 2

3) Apply cme fix dpkg

Please fix those issues and I will upload the package.

Regards


Anton

Re: HELP needed for uploading a new upstream version of the Rheolef package

Dear Sebastien,

Ok, I've added this file in d/copyright

The "E" is fixed: now d/source/lintian-overrides has the right file format.
The first "I" is also fixed, by removing the .git suffix, tganks to your advice
For the last "I", I really don't understand the message... have an idea ?
It seems it is neither and error nor a warning in lintian.

Now lintian issues a warning:
   W: librheolef-dev: manpage-section-mismatch 
usr/share/man/man7/index_set.7rheolef.gz:8 7rheolef != 7
but I really do not know what to to (all unix man pages are automatically 
extracted from comments in source files). 
Perhaps a fix will be possible in the upstream source for a next version.

Are the debianization files ready for an upload in Debian ?

Many thanks for yours advices and help,

Pierre

(for the latter, you should basically drop the .git suffix from Vcs-Browser in 
debian/control)

Maintaining datamash in Debian Science team

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Alejandro,

recently I've got the hint that datamash is useful for biologists and
thus I've added it to the med-bio task of Debian Med[1].  It is since
some time also in science-statistics of Debian Science[2].  Most of the
packages with relevance for Debian Med and Debian Science are team
maintained and thus I would like to ask you whether you would agree to
maintain datamash in Debian Science team.  If yes I would volunteer
to do the following:

   1. Move package from Alioth collab-maint to Salsa science-team

   2. Use Debian Science list as Maintainer and you as Uploader:

  Maintainer: Debian Science Maintainers 

  Uploaders:  Alejandro Garrido Mota 

   3. Run `cme fix dpkg-control` to get a consistent layout for
  the group maintained packages

   4. Upgrade to latest upstream (1.3)

Please let us know if you like the move in general and those changes in
particular.

Kind regards

   Andreas.
