Dear Sebastien,
as Ghostwriter has been onboarded as a KDE Project, I’d like to offer to
integrate the package into the perimeter of the Qt/KDE Packaging Team.
We have an « extras » group [0] for packages that are related to KDE but not
part of the main KDE Frameworks / Plasma / Gear releases that I think would be
suitable.
How we would do this is :
- give me (couc...@debian.org) or one of the team members owner access to your
packaging repo so we can move it to the qt-kde-team/extras group
- change the Maintainer field to : Debian KDE Extras Team
<pkg-kde-ext...@alioth-lists.debian.net>
- put yourself in the Uploaders field
What you would get :
- you keep your usual access to the repo and can work on the package as you
used to
- team members and myself would be considered welcome to contribute to that
repository too
- it would gives additional scrutiny to the package that would show on our DDPO
dashboard
- you’re welcome to help on other packages of the team :)
Whether you’re interested or not, you’re welcome to hang out on the
#debian-qt-kde on Debian’s IRC for help and feedback or upload sponsorship.
To follow up on the RFS discussion:
- MathJax3 is currently not packaged so it’s fine to keep it vendored
(3rdparty) for now. We can migrate to the Debian package once it’s available.
- The source-is-missing lintian tags are false positives to me (if lintian
still really emits them, I haven’t checked). The folders
3rdparty/{MathJax,react} contain valid, human modifiable source files. Please
add a comment in the lintian-overrides file to explain so.
- You should use the Files-Excluded directive in debian/copyright [1] to
describe which files should be removed from the upstream source. That should be
the debian/ folder + 3rd party libraries already available in Debian.
- I would prefer the +ds suffix instead of +dfsg, +dfsg is more appropriate for
cases where we remove upstream sources due to licensing concerns which is not
the case here IIUC.
- uscan --download-current-version fails, it should work from a clean clone of
the repo (the uupdate is not required unless I’m missing something), and…
- it would be preferable for debian/watch to target the invent.kde.org repo
which is now the reference repo, you have examples for GitLab tags here [2].
- In the git packaging repo you have the « source » folder next to the « debian
» folder, it should be *inside* it.
- source/options can be removed.
- Remove debian/compat and replace the debhelper (>= 11) build dependency by a
debhelper-compat (= 13) build dep.
- Remove debian/git-build-recipe.manifest ? I don’t know what it’s for so it’s
probably not useful. :)
Feel free to ping me or the team on IRC about any of the above.
