Just store it directly under debian/ dir and put it in docs? What flags

RFS: xpa -- Seamless communication between Unix programs

2012-01-27 Thread Ole Streicher
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package xpa.

 * Package name: xpa
   Version : 2.1.13-1
   Upstream Author : Eric Mandel e...@head.cfa.havard.edu
 * URL : http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/xpa/
 * License : LGPLv2.1+
   Section : science

It builds those binary packages:

libxpa-dev - Seamless communication between Unix programs (development
files)
libxpa1- Seamless communication between Unix programs (shared library)
tcl-xpa- Seamless communication between Unix programs (Tcl interface)
xpa-tools  - Tools for seamless communication between Unix programs

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/xpa

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xpa/xpa_2.1.13-1.dsc

The package is needed in order to bring the astronomical package
saods9 back into Debian (ITP:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655648).

I would be glad about a review and if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,

Ole Streicher

 It should use UTF-8.  I somehow can't seem to find a policy paragraph

And in the particular case of this package, that uses the machine-readable

 AFAICT the primary ABI change between these versions is that upstream

 standardise lengths across platforms.
 
 Assuming updating the Build-depends field in debian/control (to

Please don't change the -dev package name.

All of the packages except one have versioned Build-depends on libconfig8-dev. 
Surely this needs to be replaced with libconfig-dev or at least libconfig9-dev?

* Vasudev Kamath kamathvasu...@gmail.com, 2012-01-26, 13:17:

 dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/surf/surf_0.4.1-5.dsc

This package builds without any lintian warnings. Below is the changelog

surf (0.4.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

 * QA upload.


Here, for completeness, I would mention that you changed the Maintainer 
field to Debian QA Group.



 * debian/control:
   + Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.2


Did this require any changes to the packaging?


 * debian/surf.postinst:
   + Reduced the update-alternative priority to 30 as per request from user
 to the previous maintainer


Hmm. Was there a bug report about that?


 * debian/rules:
   + Introduced dpkg-buildflags by patching config.mk with 
   dpkg-buildflags.patch


This is formulated in a confusing way. I had to look at sources to 
understand what happened.


Okay, so there are two changes:
1) You added a patch for config.mk that makes it honour {C,CPP,LD}FLAGS 
from environment.

2) You added a hunk to debian/rules that exports these variables.

The hunk looks like this:

+#export DH_VERBOSE=1
+
+-include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk
+export CPPFLAGS CFLAGS LDFLAGS

Unfortunately, this _won't_ do the right thing for these dpkg-dev 
versions that didn't provide the /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk file. 
Please see 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/10/msg00307.html to 
understand why.



 * debian/source/local-options:
   + Introduced local-options to undo the patches


No, no, no. debian/source/local-options doesn't belong in the source 
package. And if you look carefully, dpkg-source in fact didn't include 
it in .debian.tar.gz.

There is more than one way to fix this. The simplest is to have 
versioned build-dependency on dpkg-dev. (And then you don't need - 
prefix before include, or other conditional checks.)

Hi Jakob,


*cough* :)

I have decided to make profound changes in the compilation of the 
package: I've removed some unnecessary things and updated debian/rules 
to dh $@. In addition, I have automated the process of packaging of 
sources.

Thus, the compilation is more clear and simple.
I hope that the package is now better.
The package is in
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dmaths/dmaths_3.4.2+dfsg1-1.dsc


Thanks, I like the new .orig.tar more. I do wonder however, what 
happened to debian/dmaths.patch.


Are these files

mini_memo_dmaths_1.5.odt
memo_OOo_dmaths_1.5.odt
Lisez-moi.odt
install.odt

used for anything? If they are not, I'd appreciate if you could remove 
them from .orig.tar, too. It'll make future reviews easier.

* renamed binary packages due to SONAME change


But here are reverse-dependencies of the old binary package. Which 
means that uploading this to unstable starts a transition. What this 
discussed with the release team? It probably should, even though the 
number of involved packages is small.


That said, the best moment to talk to the release team would be after 
the package has been thoroughly reviewed (thus: not yet).


The old and new library packages are parallel-installable.
I consider this a feature,


Right, this is a property of every respectable shared library.

since the library is a part of an MMORPG stack, and I anticipate a 
newer client app revision getting in to Debian long before a new server 
app, so the coexistence of both old and new SONAMEs will be required, 
at least for a little while.


Could elaborate more of this? What is client app and server app in 
this context?


Please bear in mind that having multiple versions of the same source 
package in a single suite is not really a desired state.


As far as unstable is concerned, you don't have control over when the 
old package will be removed. While I think ftp-masters usually wait 
until the old version don't have rdepeds anymore, they can also do it 
whenever they see fit (possibly rendering not-yet-rebuilt packages 
uninstallable).


Until very recently, it wasn't even possible (unless some dirty hacks 
were involved) to keep multiple versions of a library in testing. It's 
doable now, but such a state certainly doesn't make the Release Team 
happy.


But, as you say, this will need to be discussed with the release team 
after this package (and other upgraded packages in the stack) has been 
thoroughly reviewed.


Great.

Does you new d/rules support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt like the old one 
did? Are you sure that there are no other regressions?


I have the greatest confidence that the dh sequencer support Debian 
policy much better than the previous hand-rolled debian/rules script.


I have confirmed that the new debian/rules does indeed support 
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip.


Did you build in unstable? I just did (with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt), 
and saw this in the build log:


/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I.. -I.. 
  -g -O2 -Wall -DNDEBUG -c -o sksocket.lo sksocket.cpp

I would appreciate an explicit list of any apparent regressions, since 
they aren't apparent to me from the build logs or runtime testing of 
the package.


I didn't have anything specific in mind (except noopt support). Looking 
at old debian/rules there are some things that dh certainly doesn't do:

- setting LDFLAGS=-lstdc++;
- passing --disable-debug to configure.
Maybe these were no-ops or simply wrong. Maybe not. I didn't check. :)


Now some things I didn't catch in my initial review:

The package descriptions were modified, but this is not documented in 
the changelog.


The .orig.tar is compressed with bz2, but uscan would download a 
.tar.gz. I see the upstream provides bzip2ed tarballs too, so it should 
be a matter of fixing debian/watch.

Renaming file names because of conflicts

2012-01-27 Thread Olе Streicher
Hi,

one of my packages has conflicts with file names in /usr/bin, and I am
convinced to change this.

The question is now, where is the right place to do this? Shall I do
something like

overwrite_dh_movefiles:
dh_movefiles
mv debian/wcstools/bin/imcat debian/wcstools/bin/imcatalog
mv debian/wcstools/man/man1/imcat.1 debian/wcstools/man/man1/imcatalog.1

and additionally patching the manpage?

Best

No it doesn't?  You can rename the -dev package to libconfig-dev if you
want, but certainly don't *need* to, and if you do it, then it would be
way better from our point of view to keep building libconfig8-dev as a
transitional package until the reverse deps are updated, and to do that
separately from the SONAME bump.

I have only some minor nitpicks about the packaging:

 - debian/patches/series is an empty file. It can be removed.
 - debian/rules: just 'rm -rf doc/html doc/latex doc/man' should be
   enough.  rm -f will not give an error for files that do not exist.
 - please update the config.{guess,sub} files when building the
   package, eg. with the autotools_dev sequence addon for debhelper. See
   /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev for the reason.
   As an alternative you can also regenerate all autotools files with
   dh-autoreconf.
 - please consider using xz compression for the binary packages, we
   decided to try to implement this at least for data packages in a team
   meeting[1].
   You need to call dh_builddeb -- -Zxz and optionally a Pre-Depends on
   dpkg (1.15.6~).  (The Pre-Depends is needed for upgrades from
   distributions using in older dpkg, eg. Ubuntu Lucid[2].)
   
As this changes the soname, did you test that the packages
build-depending on libwfmath-0.3-dev still work (build) with the new
version?

 + Reduced the update-alternative priority to 30 as per request 
 from user to the previous maintainer

Hmm. Was there a bug report about that?
No previous maintainer Kai forwarded mail to me as I had adopted his 
dwm package. I asked the reporter to raise a bug but he didn't do 
that. So what do you suggest me to do for this? Shall I raise a bug 
or its not required?.
Well, I wanted to have some insight into what problem we're trying to 
solve here. Having it documented somewhere (preferably in a bug 
report) would be nice.
Done reported it as bugs by including mail content which I got and 
added closes in changelog


For the record, the bug number is #657646.

As I commented there, I'm not convinced that reducing priority is 
necessary. That said, it won't do (much) harm either, so I don't really 
mind.


Please consider applying the attached patch, which fixes some minor 
whitespace issues.


I see you added patch header to debian/patches/X11.diff, which is great, 
but if it was meant to follow DEP-3:
- Last-Updated should be spelled Last-Update and should use 
-MM-DD format.

- You could add Bug-Debian field.

Oh, my remark about Last-Update(ed) also applies to 
dpkg-buildflags.patch. :)

 since the library is a part of an MMORPG stack, and I anticipate a
 newer client app revision getting in to Debian long before a new
 server app, so the coexistence of both old and new SONAMEs will be
 required, at least for a little while.
 
 Could elaborate more of this? What is client app and server app in
 this context?

The MMORPG server and client both use this library.  While both are
actively developed upstream, the server has been removed from Debian
because it has been unmaintained for too long and will require going
through the ITP process (I believe, please correct me if I'm wrong).
The client has merely been orphaned, and I currently have an ITA on it.

The server package is still available in derivates (like Ubuntu) as a
binary package and will continue to depend on the older libraries until
a newer upstream is available.  Mean time, the newer client is
wire-protocol compatible with older servers, so it's more important to
focus on that.

 Please bear in mind that having multiple versions of the same source
 package in a single suite is not really a desired state.
 
 As far as unstable is concerned, you don't have control over when the
 old package will be removed. While I think ftp-masters usually wait
 until the old version don't have rdepeds anymore, they can also do it
 whenever they see fit (possibly rendering not-yet-rebuilt packages
 uninstallable).
 
 Until very recently, it wasn't even possible (unless some dirty hacks
 were involved) to keep multiple versions of a library in testing. It's
 doable now, but such a state certainly doesn't make the Release Team happy.

Assuming the remaining packages in the WorldForge stack get uploaded, it
does not matter to me that the older libraries are available.  I am just
starting at the bottom of the dependency stack wit this package.

 Did you build in unstable? I just did (with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt),
 and saw this in the build log:
 
 /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  
 -I.. -I..   -g -O2 -Wall -DNDEBUG -c -o sksocket.lo sksocket.cpp

OK, this is the famous noppt bug in dh.  Fixed by bumping up to compat
level 9.  Seems someone changed the default behind my back while I
wasn't looking.  Unfortunately this bump pulls in the magic of
multi-arch, but fortunately that does not harm and dependent packages
continue to build OK.

 I would appreciate an explicit list of any apparent regressions, since
 they aren't apparent to me from the build logs or runtime testing of
 the package.
 
 I didn't have anything specific in mind (except noopt support). Looking
 at old debian/rules there are some things that dh certainly doesn't do:
 - setting LDFLAGS=-lstdc++;
 - passing --disable-debug to configure.
 Maybe these were no-ops or simply wrong. Maybe not. I didn't check. :)

The GCC c++ compiler links with its library now, since version 3.0.  The
default config is --disable-default.  Yes, these are noops.

 Now some things I didn't catch in my initial review:
 
 The package descriptions were modified, but this is not documented in
 the changelog.

Nice catch.  Remediated.

 The .orig.tar is compressed with bz2, but uscan would download a
 .tar.gz. I see the upstream provides bzip2ed tarballs too, so it should
 be a matter of fixing debian/watch.

OK, done.

 I guess the major issue at this point would be the kernel that will ship

 For the next Debian stable (wheezy) it will be either 3.2 or an even newer
 kernel than that.

Given Greg K-H's blog post Stable kernel tree status, January 9,
2012 (http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/stable-status-01-2012.html)
where he writes:

Here's the different active kernel versions that I am maintaining
at the moment: [...]

3.0.y - this is the new longterm kernel release, it will be
maintained for 2 years at the minimum by me.

wouldn't it be more reasonable to use 3.0.y as the next Debian stable
release's kernel?

I mean, sure, if many of the other major Linux distributions, the ones
which can be considered as peers to Debian in terms of importance,
collectively decide to use a different, later kernel version for their
next stable release, it would make sense to use that kernel for
Debian's next stable release of course, since it allows the effort of
maintaining the kernel to be shared between distributions (at least to
some extent).  But, failing that, why not use the one that has the
imprimatur of the existing defacto stable kernel maintainer?

Hope this is of some use, interest.  Thanks for your time.  Be well.

  It should use UTF-8.  I somehow can't seem to find a policy paragraph

 And in the particular case of this package, that uses the machine-readable

  DEP 5: The syntax of the file is the same as for other Debian control files,
 as specified in the Debian Policy Manual. See its section 5.1 for

  Policy §5.1: All control files must be encoded in UTF-8. 

DEP5 isn't mandatory.

Before requesting this to be added to the policy, I wanted to check how many

A typo, though I'm not sure which word you had in mind. :P

Could you be more explicit about how it was tweaked?

BTW, you could add Multi-Arch: same field to all 3 packages, so that 
there's an actual benefit from installing stuff into multi-arch 
directories. :)


I see test failures in my build log:

 A typo, though I'm not sure which word you had in mind. :P

I don't see the typo.  I added --with autoreconf to regenerate the
autoconfigury (config.guess, config.sub, aclocal.m4, ltmain.sh,
libtools, etc).  It's all terminology I've used on other projects.  Is
there a preferred way to phrase this on Debian?

   * debian/control: tweaked for multi-arch
 
 Could you be more explicit about how it was tweaked?
 
 BTW, you could add Multi-Arch: same field to all 3 packages, so that
 there's an actual benefit from installing stuff into multi-arch
 directories. :)

I did the minimum necessary to go to debhelper compat level 9.  Do you
suggest it's better to go whole-enchilada multi-arch?  I'm not
anticipating bi-arch installs or cross-builds, but I guess it doesn't
really hurt.  I'm just less familiar with the consequences of multi-arch
so I was being conservative.

 I see test failures in my build log:

Me too. The tests rely on manually configuring the OS is a specific,
non-standard way.  Should I just disable the test targets during the
build to reduce the noise?

 wouldn't it be more reasonable to use 3.0.y as the next Debian stable
 release's kernel?

 I mean, sure, if many of the other major Linux distributions, the ones
 which can be considered as peers to Debian in terms of importance,
 collectively decide to use a different, later kernel version for their
 next stable release, it would make sense to use that kernel for
 Debian's next stable release of course, since it allows the effort of
 maintaining the kernel to be shared between distributions (at least to
 some extent).  But, failing that, why not use the one that has the
 imprimatur of the existing defacto stable kernel maintainer?

Please refer to this thread:

Hi Jakub,

Can you take a look again?

I'd remove the commented-out commands from debian/rules.

I'd also remove also explicit install and binary-indep targets,
since the wildcard % do exactly the same.

You provide build-arch and build-indep targets, but they do
something different than the build target. That's bad.
(dpkg-buildpackage currently doesn't use build-* targets, but it might
start doing so in the future.)


- DONE, fixed by the fix above


You should not explicitly delete debian/*.log, debian/packagename,
etc. dh_clean takes care of this.

Deleting debian/patches in the clean target is certainly a bad idea!

You define PYVERS variable in debian/rules, but you don't use it
anywhere.

Upstream provides a test suite, please run it at build time (preferably
using all supported Python versions).

Does this package support Python 2.5? debian/pyversions says it does,
XS-Python-Version says it doesn't. Please use only one of them, BTW.

XB-Python-Version is deprecated, please remove it.

It looks like documentation takes much more space than the rest of the

I'd exclude x2go.tests module from the binary package.

x2go/monkey_patch_paramiko.py has a different license than the rest of

 As I commented there, I'm not convinced that reducing priority is
 necessary. That said, it won't do (much) harm either, so I don't
 really mind.
 
 Please consider applying the attached patch, which fixes some minor
 whitespace issues.

Applied. Thanks for the patch :) (That reminds me I'm always bad at
cosmetics )

 I see you added patch header to debian/patches/X11.diff, which is
 great, but if it was meant to follow DEP-3:
 - Last-Updated should be spelled Last-Update and should use
 -MM-DD format.
 - You could add Bug-Debian field.
 
 Oh, my remark about Last-Update(ed) also applies to
 dpkg-buildflags.patch. :)

So much for trying to write dep3 header without looking at DEP3 page
;). Fixed it and added Bug-Debian too.

New version is already uploaded to mentors. Thanks for the reviews
