Re: [CinCV] debian/changelog is outdated

Indeed :-/

 Is there a knowledgable Debian developer who knows how to bring this file
 up-to-date in a meaningful way? 

Technically, there is the nice tool dch (part of the devscripts package), 
which greatly simplefies editing debian/changelog in the right format.

Contentwise the file should contain changes in the packaging. So stuff 
like new upstream version with great feature foo or added a depends to 
libschroedinger as requiered by new upstream version or whatever.

(So Debian packages often ship two changelog files: the upstream one and the 
debian one. And I think that very much makes sense.)

 Is this file of any use for our Debian/Ubuntu packagers? Or do you keep
 your own versions of the debian/ directory anyway? What's the best way to
 proceed here?

I havent looked at cinelerra (in regards to packaging) for more then a year 
probably, mostly because I'm sad that it's impossible to get cinelerra into 
Debian main due to some licence problems and some embedded code copies - at 
least that's what the status was last year. If this has been fixed, w00t.

That said, shipping a debian/ directory in release tarballs is usually not 
helpful for maintainers as they keep there own version in some repo anyway. 
If cooperation between packagers and developers exist, it's nice to have it 
in the same repo but a different branch. (As to be able to make different 
packaging releases based on the exact same upstream tarball/checkout.)

That said :) in future (=after Debian lenny has been released) a debian/ 
directory in the (upstream) tarball will be silenty thrown away anyway (by 
dpkg 3.0 source format) so that the debian/ directory will always come as a 
debian-diff. So I would suggest to keep it now, to not make life harder for 
current users of it :)

 No need to rebuild the whole kernel for theses.

I actually like that name.

And it reminded me of another option, icecine, but I think I like FreeCine 
much better :-)

 While hammering on it to try to free it up to get it into Debian/Ubuntu
 we considered a name change because of all the changes and to make it
 clear it was different than Cinelerra.

Isn't cinelerra part of Ubuntu studio already? I thought so, but cant check 
right onw, as I'm writing this offline... If so, I wonder how you deal with 
the licencing problems (the copyright of some files is not clear, details in 
the Debian ITP bug), which is why cinelerra is not in Debian.

 when scanning, then, if there is a header saying it is GPL, LGPL or if

As I understand it, no header means no copyright+licence information, ergo 
normal (=non copyleft) copyright applies, ergo not ok for distribution.

Yes :) I'm happily read this thread and will happily maintain cinelerra in 
debian once the licence issues are resolved. 

BTW, last time I looked there were also quite some libaries copied into the 
cinelerra sourcetree - this is bad from a maintainance point of view 
(security patches need to be applied many times) but this also effects the  
debian/copyright file: the author of every software included and its licence 
need to be mentioned there.

  It was resolved by someone contacting Adam and getting clearance for the
  code he wrote. Now someone must check if there are any other files in
  the tree and clear up all of the cases.

 yes. there's no grey areas here. we have the confirmation.

Aeh, did Adam really write _all_ the code (from those files without GPL 
statements)? He only gave clarification for the code he wrote.

This is still serious progress (cheers!) but - as I understand it - we are not 
there yet.

  - request for adding this package to official repos: if we can get a

Please read http://bugs.debian.org/331072 - cinelerra has legal and technical 
problems, 1000 files from 3000 in the source code have no licence attached to 
it. This can only be fixed by heroine virtual, as it's their code. Also 
cinelerra includes copies of some libraries, instead of using the packaged 
ones. This is a security nightmare to maintain.

Until these legal and technical issues are fixed, cinelerra will not become 
part of Debian. Nor Ubuntu.

If this situation has been fixed by now, I would be very glad to hear and be 
proven wrong.

 what might be more plausable is adding it to marillat repository, since
 it shares our values regarding what to include...

You mean you also don't give a  about legal issues and just want stuff 
that's works but cannot be distributed in most parts of the world? Or what?

I'm sorry to sound so harsh... but I brought this up two times already in the 
last 2 months and nobody seems to care.

If cinelerra-cvs could be packaged for debian, ubuntu could just take it.

Unfortunatly there are many legal problems in cinelerra (or were, but last 
time I looked they were and I have not seen an indication that this has been 
fixed), so cinelerra-cvs cannot be included in debian atm.

See http://bugs.debian.org/331072 and more specifically
