Status Report for Packaging elementary Software, Week 7 Without stable upstream releases of the remaining software I have switched to making preliminary packaging and investigating potential blockers such as missing dependencies, etc.
One of the issues I've discovered was a huge download size for the GTK theme. It requires "Open Sans" and "Raleway" fonts to be installed, which are currently shipped by "texlive-fonts-extra" package. The problem is, texlive-fonts-extra combined with its dependencies is a ~300Mb download and occupies ~750Mb when unpacked. I have opened a bug at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753839 and was told to move those fonts into a separate source package, which I will proceed to do. The preliminary packaging for the elementary GTK theme that I used so far can be found at https://code.launchpad.net/~pantheon-debian/pantheon-debian/elementary-theme It has incomplete copyright information right now because it was imported to RCS in 2007 and there's a number of contributions predating that. I have also finalized my packaging for Noise, the music player, that I started last week. Its architecture is non-trivial so I got involved upstream to better understand it. I've fixed a number of upstream bugs while at it (https://bugs.launchpad.net/noise/+bug/1337312, https://bugs.launchpad.net/noise/+bug/1286944, https://bugs.launchpad.net/noise/+bug/1337291) and discovered a non-obvious but critical bug in my packaging which I proceeded to fix. The package is now in the NEW queue. And finally, my "maya-calendar" package has passed FTP Masters' review this week.
