 In that case, welcome to the team, I've just added you to the team, so
 that you have write access to all team repositories and can create new
 ones.

Thanks!

  My immediate questions are:
 
  1) The app, mma, is not in your repository. Is that
  something I can introduce?
 
 sure!
 
  2) I seem to recall that a debian package does not
  include all the files used to create it. If so,
  is there a source for the original package? (The
  source code package, perhaps?)
 
 I don't understand the question. You claim above that you do maintain
 packages with git, quilt and dh scripts in pkg-perl, we do the very same
 in pkg-multimedia as well, and create source packages from the git
 branches for testing, building and (restricted to DMs and DDs) uploading.

I claim some familiarity, *and* occasionally suffer various
misconceptions that I hope you will help me right.

Best,

Joel

You are probably referring to the following clause in the LGPL-2.x:

You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License.

The text is pretty clear what you (and upstream) has to do to get the
code relicensed.

 * Paolo Marcassoli paolo.marcass...@email.it [2011-01-05 16:29:27 CET]:
 Are you planning to include vlc player and related packages in  
 squeeze-backports?

Note that this request already came up several times for lenny-backports:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.backports.general/5372
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.backports.general/6936

All of them remained pretty much unanswered to me.

  Hard to tell at this time of the release - actually the version in
 squeeze and currently in unstable are the same so it doesn't make any
 sense to provide a backport.  There is a newer version in experimental -
 but your chances are best if you ask the package maintainers of vlc and
 related packages themself wether they want to provide the backport.

The version in experimental (and later versions) will be uploaded to
unstable as soon as squeeze is released. That version will definitly
require FFmpeg 0.6, also currently in experimental [*]. So the question
really is if the backports team is comfortable with that backport.

As maintainer, I'd be very happy to see both in squeeze-backports. On
the bottom line, having FFmpeg 0.6 in -backports will require some other
backports as well. The exact packages that require this unknown, but
since we have symbol versioning since lenny, I expect this to be rather
small. AFAIUI, only packages that use private internal types and
symbols, like mplayer (which does this for historical reasons) should
require this. And backporting mplayer would be an excellent idea for
other reasons anyway.

[*] side note: I'm really unhappy that FFmpeg 0.6 missed squeeze. I've
tried to convince the release team at DC10, but they rejected it with
it will hold up the freeze.

I disagree.  And I suspect that you missed my point:

Debian Policy §4.5 concerns each single piece of code that we 
redistribute - not upstream groupings of code.


It is perfectly alright for upstream to treat it all as licensed 
together - but really the individual parts are still licensed 
(compatible but) differently, and this is what must be documented for 
Debian redistribution.



...at least as I interpret it, which seems similar to that of 
ftpmasters.  If you disagree with the interpretation of Debian Policy, 
then you/we should probably move this conversation to a more appropriate 
list discussing that.




Hope that helps.

OTOH, I'd encourage everyone that currently has admin status to 
consider dropping it in case he doesn't require it.


Then let me put it upside down: What extra responsibilities am I now 
burdenend with, compared to those not admins in this team?


Currently, I see (anyone feel free to correct me)

- approving new applications after making sure that they are fit
- editing the meta data of the alioth project


 - grant others membership of the admin club


I would like us to be as equal as possible in this team.  We are not 
equal outside of the team (some of us have access to upload to 
Debian, Ubuntu, Skolelinux or other places, some are rich, some get 
laid etc.) but I fail to see the need for multiple access levels here 
in this team.


Everyone in the team is allowed to welcome prospective members. Those 
that actively do so (properly) are granted admin priviledges. To my 
book, this makes all team members practically equal.


In my vocabulary that might be _principally_ equal, but practically not: 
It's like saying we all are practically conomically equal when we can 
all buy lottery tickets.



What do others think?

Bug#609125: vlc-nox postinst conifguration segfaults when regenerating plugins cache

2011-01-06 Thread Christophe Mutricy
Le Thu 06 Jan 11 à 16:01 +0100, Francesco Castellana a écrit :
 Package: vlc-nox
 Version: 1.1.3-1squeeze1
 /var/lib/dpkg/info/vlc-nox.postinst: line 4:  8614 Segmentation fault

Could you try to get a backtrace with gdb ? if you have vlc-dbg
installed or manage to install it it would be even better.


 ii  libavcodec52 5:0.6.1+svn20101128-0.1 library to encode decode

 ii  libavutil50  5:0.6.1+svn20101128-0.1 avutil shared libraries - 
 runtime 

I know it will sound a bit far-fetched. But could you try to uninstall
your unofficial ffmpeg packages and retry with the one of debian.
