The debian-mentors mailing list provides help with creating Debian
packages. For questions about using Debian please ask on one of the user
mailing lists, for example debian-u...@lists.debian.org (English). There
is a more complete list on [1].

I've a production server particularly patched. I prefer install only
security packages but keep others packages to same version.

Should I've some problems if keep only:

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

to /etc/apt/sources.list

or better pin every packages?

What's the best way to do this?

thanks!

The "Debian New Maintainers' Guide" (1) and "Debian Developer's 
Reference" (2)
are to fat? Did you have a look at (3) or (4)? The latter is "just" 81 
slides.


To be honest, I'm not a "packaging guy" and did not try (3) and (4).

Hi Craig,

Good point. I'll move the decision point to ./configure.

I'm talking about binaries in this email.  But since you already
answered to put the binary always in /usr/games/, so I don't need  to
change PATH anymore.

Thanks a lot.

Beco.

Checklist to create a .deb package

2013-10-14 Thread Beco 
Hi guys,

Is there a simple checklist I can go through while reading the docs?

I'm drowning in deeper and deeper docs, and sometime I feel I'm
disconnected from the path.

A (simple) checklist would really help to give me a north.


Thanks,
Beco.

I changed the field to Upstream-Contact: and put the contact address
there instead of the authors (resp. maintainers). This is in the git
yet; I will upload it in the next days to mentors.debian.net.

Thank you for the hint. However, fpack is (still) not part of Debian, so
this cannot be done in the moment. The package is maintained by HEASARC
, and thanks to the current situation in
the USA the web page is unreachable.

Once they are back, I am considering packaging their stuff and then
converting the calibration data. However, I doubt that this will squeeze
all calibration packages enough so that they all fall under my
self-defined limit of 10 MB.

I restarted the discussion about this a month ago in debian-science, and
the response what only positive. Feel free to bring your arguments
there. The base packages (cpl and esorex) have an popcon of ~175, which
is quite a lot compared to other astronomy packages (ds9: ~260). And the
only purpose for cpl, python-cpl, and esorex is to run these plugins, so
in my opinion it makes perfect sense to package them as well.

Best regards

Ole

hi,
you put in the current maintainers of the pipelines as upstream authors.
Can you please check with them if this is correct.
So far I know the support for this software is supposed to go over
usd-h...@eso.org
Also its Upstream-Contact not Upstream-Author in the machine readable
copyright format.

Concerning the calibration data, you may be able to save significant amount
of space by compressing them with cfitsio fpack utility. Its usually better
than generic compression methods, at the cost that it can only be read by
cfitsio compatible programs (which is the case for these pipelines).

Julian Taylor

[Repost] RFS: cpl-plugin-* [ITP] -- ESO data reduction pipeline recipes

2013-10-14 Thread Olе Streicher 
Dear mentors,

Since I didn't get response since three weeks, I am reposting my
Requests For Sponsorship so that it does not get lost:

I have prepared five packages that have a similar structure and are to
be used as plugins for the "cpl" library and the "esorex" and
"python-cpl" packages. Each plugin contains the software to process
("reduce" in the astronomer's slang) the data of one instrument mounted
at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Telescope
(ESO) in Paranal:

* cpl-plugin-hawki/1.8.12-1
* cpl-plugin-sinfo/2.3.3-1
* cpl-plugin-fors/4.9.23-1
* cpl-plugin-giraf/2.11.1-1
* cpl-plugin-amber/4.2.2-1

RFS:
* HAWK-I  http://bugs.debian.org/723962
* SINFONI http://bugs.debian.org/723968
* FORShttp://bugs.debian.org/723970
* GIRAFFE http://bugs.debian.org/723971
* AMBER   http://bugs.debian.org/723972

Source package URL:
* HAWK-I  http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-hawki
* SINFONI http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-sinfo

* GIRAFFE http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-giraf
* AMBER   http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-amber

All packages are GPL and upstream developer is ESO. A common overview
for the pipelines is on http://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/

The packages are all built using a common template, so reviewing all
five should be not much more work than for one.

Relevant differences between the packages:

* The copyright files are special since usually the upstream source code
is collected from several sources. I always checked where their use can
be replaced by Debian packages (like sextractor in cpl-plugin-fors).

* Dependencies differ a bit (libfftw, libwcs).

* The packages are usually accompanied with a number of files used for
calibration purposes. Due to their size, I did not always include them.
I have chosen a limit of ~10MB package size, so that calibration
packages exceeding this size will not include the files but download
them during the package installation. (cpl-plugin-amber-calib).

Best regards

Ole
