Hello Boris,

You should not try to package only a module of this project
(google-http-client) but the whole project, then select which modules
you want to include and maybe split the final binaries into several
packages.

So in short do the following:

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/google-http-java-client/
cd google-http-java-client
hg update 1.6
mh_make

This project contains modules. Include all modules?

This is required because the parent POM located at the root of the

practice.

 [check dependency with bundle type]
  dpkg --status libgson-java
 [error] Package libgson-java (2.1-1) is already installed and contains a
 possible match,
 but I cannot resolve library com.google.code.gson:gson:jar:null in it.
 [error] Please check manually that the library is up to date, otherwise it
 may be necessary to package version null in Debian.
 Try again to resolve the dependency?

Is this because dependency has no version, but how then junit dependency is
found if it has no version as well?
What is the proper way of fixing this?

Thanks.

 Hi Ludovic,

 Actually I am the owner of the ucloud project on github :) so I can make
 any changes you suggested. Wil let you know if it will work.

 Thanks!

 Hello Boris,

 It looks like you are almost there. Your project is hosted on Github,
 but I don't support yet Git, so the debian/watch used to find the latest
 version and get the upstream code is not generated by mh_make.

 However there are lots of other packages which get their sources from
 Github (basex, plexus-cipher, junit4, libjdom1-java), so you can study
 their packaging using apt-get source package.

 This watch file should in theory get the latest release of uCloud,
 expect that it does not...

 cat EOF  debian/watch
 version=3
 http://githubredir.debian.net/github/cyberb/uCloud/ (.*).tar.gz
 EOF

 You should ask the project owner to tag in Git the latest release,
 otherwise it's not possible to know what to download. Or better, he
 should use maven-release-plugin to create a release of the project.

 After you get this detail sorted, then you should add those lines to
 debian/rules:

 get-orig-source:
uscan --download-version $(DEB_UPSTREAM_VERSION)
 --force-download --rename

 Finally, if you work on Ubuntu and use Launchpad, then you should store
 your packaging in bzr:

 sudo apt-get install bzr-builddeb
 bzr init
 mkdir .bzr-builddeb/
 echo -e '[BUILDDEB]\nmerge = True'  .bzr-builddeb/default.conf
 bzr add .

 and you can build your package with

 bzr bd

 Well that's the usual procedure. In your case, since it's difficult to
 get the upstream sources, you need to download  them yourself and put
 them in a tar.gz file which you should call ucloud_1.0.0.orig.tar.gz and
 copy it in the parent directory. Doing so will make bzr bd / debuild
 happy since they don't have to download the sources.

 Consider also joining the Debian Java team, as it's full of active and
 knowledgable developers (http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/JavaPackaging).
 Once your package is ready, you can ask to include it in Debian and it
 will land some time later into Ubuntu.

 Cheers,
 Ludovic

  Hi,
 
  Thanks for the info, your new package is much better.
  After running mh_make in the root of my project, looks like everything
  went fine, just one exception at the end:
 
  Cannot recognize the download url
  (scm:git:https://github.com/cyberb/uCloud.git).
  I've tried different scm urls, but it is always the same, is it OK?
 
  than I ran debuild and got the following error:
 
  This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be
  an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent
 directory;
  (expected one of ucloud_1.0.0.orig.tar.gz, ucloud_1.0.0.orig.tar.bz2,
  ucloud_1.0.0.orig.tar.lzma,  ucloud_1.0.0.orig.tar.xz or ucloud.orig)
  continue anyway? (y/n) y
 
  and then
 
  dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no
  orig.tar
