Bug#694858: hplip: New upstream version 3.12.11 available

2012-12-01 Thread Per W.
Package: hplip
Version: 3.12.10a-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Justification: Version 3.12.11 adds support for 11 LaserJet models and
Debian Squeeze

Necessary changes can be imported from Ubuntu:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/hplip_3.12.11-0ubuntu1.dsc

HPLIP 3.12.11 is compatible with Debian 6.0.6
so it should also go to proposed-updates of Squeeze and Wheezy
for better hardware support in the stable distribution.

HPLIP-Changelog:
http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=149981&id=309872

HPLIP-Source:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/files/hplip/3.12.11/hplip-3.12.11.tar.gz/download

Ubuntu-Changes:
  * debian/patches/hplip-release-parport.patch: Removed, fixed upstream.
  * debian/patches/kde4-kdesudo-support.dpatch: Use "which" instead of
"utils.which", to fix a NameError (LP: #1069324).

Bug#656903: Desurium on a LP PPA

2012-11-12 Thread Per W.
Debian version strings:
If you are on the 0.9 branch you have to make clear that your package is
smaller than "0.9.0-1".
Your "0.9.0-devel+git20121104-makson*" > 0.9.0.
So I would use something like "0.9.0~20121104-0ubuntu0makson1" on Ubuntu
and 0.9.0~20121104-1" on Debian.

wxWidgets:
wxwidgets2.9 might never be part of Debian, since it is the current
wxWidgets development branch.
Debian will switch to wxwidgets2.10 when it gets released by upstream.
Development of end-user-software should be based on wxwidgets2.8.
wxwidgets2.9 could be part of a wxwidgets-unstable package only
available in Debian/sid, but this is unlikely to happen and it would
mean that desurium could never join Debian/testing.

CEF:
I don't know CEF but you should try to contact CEF-upstream and let them
merge the changes needed for desurium.
Having libcef and libcef-desura would mean code duplication which should
be avoided if possible.
Since libcef does not exist on Debian or Ubuntu it might be possible to
include the changes in a "libcef" package if they would brake no other
packages using libcef.

cURL:
If possible add c-ares support into upstreams curl.
If not include a patch in Debians curl package.
If that patch would break things, fork curl or remove dependency on
c-ares from desurium.
Forking means code duplication means worse maintainability.

Bug#689536: Not a bug

2012-11-12 Thread Per W.
While it is not the best idea to split wine into many packages
and it is not installable on amd64 for "some time"
and wine-unstable seems to be rather unmaintained
it indirectly depends on libwine-unstable.

I think a direct dependency is not necessary.
We just need to ensure that there is never a dangling copyright symlink.
I have no idea why the maintainers created such a complex
dependency-structure for wine.

wine-unstable depends on wine-bin-unstable
wine-bin-unstable depends on libwine-bin-unstable
libwine-bin-unstable depends on libwine-unstable

Bug#656903: Desurium on a LP PPA

2012-11-11 Thread Per W.
There are working Debian packages on the PPA of Tomasz Makarewicz.
We should bring that package to Debian!

https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/desurium

https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/desurium-stable

The currently used version string is
"2:0.9.0-devel+git20121104-makson2~ppa1".
I think the version string on a Ubuntu PPA with no released on Ubuntu or
Debian should be "0.8.0+20121104-0ubuntu0makson1".
The version string on Debian should be like "0.8.0+20121104-1".
(0.9 is not yet announced, the currently used VCS does not matter,
"devel" should never be part of a version string instead there could be
a package named "desurium-unstable")

Bug#689714: ITP: Luma -- LDAP browser and administration utility

2012-10-05 Thread Per W.
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
License: GPL-2+
Homepage: http://luma.sf.net/
Version: 3.0.7

Luma_2.4-3 has been remove from sid (and wheezy) because it depends on
python-qt3, which had been replaced by python-qt4.

In 2011 a student project on a Norwegian university converted the source
to PyQt4 but never officially released the files on SF.
Now I found the latest version on http://folk.ntnu.no/einaru/luma/ and
released it on http://sf.net/projects/luma/.

I rebuild the debian-package from the scratch with dh_python2.
It is lintian-clean and ready to be checked and uploaded.
I am still listed as DM for luma on squeeze.

Sponsors can find the package at http://mentors.debian.net/package/luma .

Since the internal changes for Luma 3.x where rather big, most of the
old plugins have been removed.
I tested the three plugins left:
Browser: Connecting to a LDAP-server, browsing the tree and editing
values works fine.
Search: Used the Filter Builder and did several searches without problems.
Templates: It is possible to create edit-templates, but the do not show
up in the Browser-view.

Not perfect but stable and working without python-qt3.

Bug#597283: ITP: lib3to2 -- 3to2 tool and module for backporting Python 3 code

2010-09-18 Thread Per W.
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org

   Package name: lib3to2
Version: 1.0~20100824
Upstream Author: Joseph Amenta 
URL: http://bitbucket.org/amentajo/lib3to2/
License: Apache
Description: tool and python-module for backporting Python 3 code

lib3to2 is already stable and the author plans to release 1.0 in near
future.
The generic code runs under python2.7 and python3.1!
The Debian package is lintian-clean but the debian/rules file needs a
review.

Currently the source-package (lib3to2) generates two binary packages:

python-3to2 for Python 2.7+
 This package is empty until you install python2.7 from experimental and
 add it to the supported versions in /usr/share/python/debian_defaults
manually.

python3-3to2 for Python 3.1+
 Also it seems to run fine with python3.2 from experimental

The current state can be seen on:

Bug#544471: dh_pycentral fails to detect Python version with capabilities

2010-08-25 Thread Per W.
I think this is not a bug of fakeroot but of python-central!
If dh_pycentral wants to find the Python version somewhere in stderr it
should use a damn good parser!
I suggest to use one of the following statements instead of trying to
parse stderr!

# New in version 2.3.
$ python -c "import platform;print(platform.python_version())"
2.6.6rc2

# New in version 2.0.
$ python -c "import sys;print(sys.version_info)"
(2, 6, 6, 'candidate', 2)

# New in version 2.3.
$ python -c "import platform;print(platform.python_version_tuple())"
('2', '6', '6rc2')

# New in version 1.5.2.
$ python -c "import sys;print(hex(sys.hexversion))"
0x20606c2

# Should not be used as of http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html
$ python -c "import sys;print(sys.version)"
2.6.6rc2 (r266rc2:84114, Aug 18 2010, 07:33:44)
[GCC 4.4.5 20100816 (prerelease)]

BTW.
Calling dh_pycentral from a non exeisting directory results into the
same error.

Bug#558389: python-qt4: Shouldn't this package support Python3?

2010-04-29 Thread Per W.
> Hasn't support for Python3 been added upstream many many months ago?

In June 2009.
5 months before your bug-report.
10 months from now.
Not "many many months" but "many months"...

> No offence, but why is Debian so ridiculously late to support anything 
> related to python3?

Perhaps because you did not fix it.


For py3-support in python-qt4 we need to add py3-support to python-sip
first!
The needed changes are minimal. With the attached files you can create
py3 compatible packages.

I added the string "3.1" to the PYTHONS variable in the debian/rules files.
This is a ugly hack, because it does not work with Python 3.2!

We need to create py3 versions off "/usr/bin/pyversions" and
"/usr/share/python/debian_defaults" or something like that!

Bug#579282: warzone2100: new stable upstream version available (2.3.0)

2010-04-27 Thread Per W.
Hi Alexander,

since no changes are required to build 2.3 (you only changed the changelog),
the maintainer probably does not need any help.
He only needs to find some time to check the new package.
If he does not upload in the next two weeks you can do a NMU (See [1])
after that time.

It would have been better to base your work on the latest upload (which
was to experimental).
See the news section on [2] to find the latest upload.
You missed the change of the maintainers e-mail, the changed recommends
and the fixed watch-file.

On the *.build-file we can see, that the package is not lintian-clean.
Please run "lintian -i -I -E --pedantic *.dsc *.deb" and fix all problems.

If you want to help the maintainer, it would be nice to send a diff
between the old and the new debian-dir.
I attached a fixed patch...

The nice protocol.txt should go to your blog!
It will be lost in this bug-report...

Bug#477572: RFP: python-pymedia -- Python module for editing wav, mp3, ogg, avi, divx, dvd files

2010-04-09 Thread Per W.
- The pymedia project includes much of the ffmpeg code, while it should
better dynamically link to the existing ffmpeg libs (like
libavformat.so.52 and libavcodec.so.52)
- The included ffmpeg code is badly outdated and not cleanly separated
- The code-base seems to be unmaintained.
- It depends on the i386 architecture
- We already have python-gst0.10 and pygame for python multimedia support

So it might be a bad idea to Maintain a Debian package for pymedia.
Anyway I created a initial package for you to experiment with.
In the current state the package compiles and installs without problems
on amd64 but the import fails.

Bug#576117: [signing-party] springgraph depends on libgd-gd2*-perl

Yes, you are right. Recommends should add non-vital functionality.
Like a tray-icon for Pidgin, but Pidgin runs fine without it.
The problem is that springgraph crashes without this recommended package.
I think no program should crash on a valid Debian installation!
And a installation without recommends is valid!

Yes, for a small script it is better to add the correct dependencies.

AFAIK this default has been changes lately and does not affect the
validity of a Debian installation.
Many admins use '''APT::Install-Recommends "0";''' because they do not
like this new behaviour.

Bug#576117: [signing-party] springgraph depends on libgd-gd2*-perl

2010-03-31 Thread Per W.
Package: signing-party
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
signing-party only recommends libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl | libgd-gd2-perl
but the included springgraph depends on it!

signing-party needs to depend on libgd-gd2*-perl
or springgraph has to be moved to a separate package.

Package: alacarte
Version: 0.12.4-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Version 0.13.1 has been released by upstream.

I build a updated package, made it lintian-clean and uploaded it to mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=alacarte

A NMU is not needed, but improvements should be included into the next
upload.

Bug#575257: [xdotool] New upstream release

2010-03-24 Thread Per W.
Package: xdotool
Version: 1:1.20100302.2708-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Upstream has offers a bug fix release: 1.20100318.2737

Changelog:
http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/source/browse/xdotool/CHANGELIST

Upstream tarball:
http://semicomplete.googlecode.com/files/xdotool-1.20100318.2737.tar.gz

DEHS uses a outdated watch-file, so it does not report the correct version.
http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/report.php?package=xdotool

BTW.
It would be nice if the maintainer could add "XS-Vcs-Browse" for the
git-repository.
