I'm not so sure about that. Personally, I find objects confusing for describing shared library files, since it seems to be more often used to describe instantiations of object classes, at least on Pd mailing list and on #dataflow. I still think that external fits very well for external libraries (which is what they are). Also with naming I am more concerned about consistency than with newbie friendliness (hoping that the former will be the base of the latter). OTOH, pd-zexy which is included for a long while now also talks about objects. So I happily adopt your suggestion, since it somehow seems already established. (OTOH, pd-motex talks about externals again) hm.. Roman I guess its good to mention both objects and externals since they are somewhat interchangeable and both valid in this context.

Also, read our wiki page for some details regarding how we usually handle packaging (wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia). ok. so i have started from scratch (turned out to be easier; not much of a git-wizz yet...), and created a pd-zexy package for the new upstream version 2.2.3. the package builds fine in a pbuilder environment, and is basically lintian clean (there are some I and P warnings: no upstream changelog (true), no watch file (as upstream i know that it is hard to create a watch file given how zexy is released) and spelling mistakes (cannot change that as it would break zexy's API) i have uploaded i386 packages to mentors.d.o: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pd-zexy/ i have created a git repository pd-zexy: git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/pd-zexy.git with the /git/pkg-multimedia/setup-repository script, so all hooks should be working (at least my commits show up in pkg-multimedia-commits) i have populated the repository with my .dsc file, which was probably a bad idea, since this has automatically set the debian/2.2.3-1 tag. since i already pushed, i guess this cannot be helped any more. I could sponsor your packages after you have imported them into the git repository (I don't have time right now, ping again when you have done this). ping. Why do you install zexy into a non standard pd path? Also, the copyright file could use some updating (what are your contributions, etc). There are some files with copyrights other than yourself. debian/dirs seems to be redundant. Aand... short-form dh7 seems to not work correctly. since there is a build directory, debian/rules build says that 'build' is up to date. And phony targets do not seem to work with dh7. This means that the package ends up being built under root (in the binary stage), which is frowned upon by policy. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

I have just added you to the team on alioth. Welcome! PureData has been neglected a bit in Debian, it is good to see you and Hans starting to take an interest in it. if someone could review my package (currently i have noted myself as maintainer, this of course could be changed to pkg-multimedia) and think it's ok, i could push it to alioth. i would be thankful if someone could sponsor a package upload.

Yeah, more more who cares for PureData! talking with hans-christoph steiner (who's on this list as well), he meant that i should ask you (the pkg-multimedia-team) to join you and then adopt the package as a team. this would hopefully make the complicated task of finding a sponsor each time i want to update a package more simple. I would go so far as to separate the term team-maintainance from sponsoring: When a team includes DDs then the team as a whole do not need any sponsoring. So yes, join the team and together we can package more easily. :-D - Jonas Debian Developer with an interest in PureData -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
