The Vcs-* fields are for the Debian package VCS.

There is an emerging project to add upstream metadata to Debian source
packages:

Indeed, that is why the relevant lintian warning is marked pedantic.
Personally I think this part of Debian policy needs a review, I don't
have the time or energy to bring it up on debian-policy though.

Check this thread:

He already created almost perfect packages that are pretty-much ready to
be uploaded, just a couple of minor issues.

If I'm understanding the question correctly, yes. We have Vcs-$VCS (i.e.

I agree with Kel here, git2cl et al are unimportant details.

FWIW, I do not think all of this is necessary, the information stored in the

Adoption sought for a few packages

2010-03-01 Thread Thijs Kinkhorst
Hi,

I'm looking for adopters or assistance with the following packages. As with 
anyone there's a limit on the time I can(will) spend on Debian and I feel that 
in making choices there, these packages are currently starving for attention.

* phpbb3. This needs some work to get the latest upstream into Debian. The 
vast flow of security issues seems to have dried up since the 3.x series 
fortunately. Still, I don't think we should be releasing phpbb3 lagging behind 
as it is now, since significant amounts of fixes have been released upstream. 
I don't have enough time for this package anymore, but co-maintainer Jeroen is 
still interested to remain on the team; contact him to coordinate.

* serendipity. I don't really use this package anymore. It's currently removed 
from testing, because it needs to have a security bug fixed before it can be 
part of the next release. It's currently orphaned any will not be part of 
squeeze unless someone adopts it.

* mailman. I'm still interested in maintainership of this package, but the 
current team is not very intense. The current package is of release quality, 
but more work can definately be done on it, if only to review the 80+ open bug 
reports on it. If you want to join the team, send a message to the Mailman for 
Debian mailinglist and we'll set you up with the necessary permissions.

For all cases goes that I can help to get you started, or provide sponsoring.

cheers,
Thijs

Bug#572135: ITP: libstemmer -- Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval

2010-03-01 Thread Stefano Rivera
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Stefano Rivera 


* Package name: libstemmer
  Version : 0+svn526
  Upstream Author : Dr Martin Porter  and Richard Boulton 

* URL : http://snowball.tartarus.org/
* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information 
Retrieval

Snowball provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a
"stemmed" form of a word.  This is a form with most of the common
morphological endings removed; hopefully representing a common
linguistic base form.  This is most useful in building search engines
and information retrieval software; for example, a search with stemming
enabled should be able to find a document containing "cycling" given the
query "cycles".

Snowball provides algorithms for several (mainly European) languages.
It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for
English: although this has been superseded by an improved algorithm, the
original algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval
researchers wishing to reproduce results of earlier experiments.

I think the format is indeed pretty ugly, can't we just do:

git log v0.9.8..v0.9.9 > ChangeLog

I've attached an example output of this on the iw package for example.
Paul, does Debian packaging not care the format the ChangeLog is on?

I already wrote patches for the first 20 packages (about 15 ones today);
and 2 packages have no bug report yet but are planned for later
(software-properties and update-notifier).

2 packages (reportbug-ng & dblatex) were already fixed and did not get a
bug report; 2 packages were fixed in response to the bug report
(gnome-codec-install & apt-xapian-index).

I have not yet started to look at my own 3 packages, because it's more
fun to hack on other people's packages first. And the packages I
maintain are all more or less graphical which means that most users
won't see the deprecation warnings anyway.

You may also want to look at the bug page:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=de...@lists.debian.org;tag=python-apt-0-8-api

I CCed debian-release this time, so they know what's going on here; and
as this may require some special stuff to get those 30 packages migrated
in time; once they all adapted to the new API.

As always, please keep at least de...@l.d.o in CC.

FWIW, I don't create the tarballs.  Perhaps we could ask Johannes to
do something in his scripts that create them?  Beyond that I don't
see much point in checking-in a ChangeLog.

Do you like that git2cl output?  It seems rather ugly to me...

It definitely shouldn't be checked into git, but rather generated from
the git commit logs; with git2cl, git log or similar. With an autotools
based build system you would add a command to the Makefile.am so that
automake runs git2cl during 'make dist' / 'make distcheck'. For
non-autotools based projects you usually won't have a standard 'make
dist' so it would need to be added to whatever script is the equivalent.

> Do you like that git2cl output?  It seems rather ugly to me...

Its the standard ancient GNU form for a ChangeLog. I have no opinion on
its aesthetics and I don't think it matters what format it has really.

Xen folks are creating 'xen/stable' branch for the pv_ops dom0 kernel,
which is tracking the long-term supported 2.6.32 kernel, which Squeeze
will ship. Currently it's at 2.6.32.9.

So Xen dom0 support for Squeeze shouldn't be as problematic as the 
Lenny 2.6.26 kernel was. (no other distro shipped 2.6.26 and it was 
not a long-term maintained kernel).

Now it would be a good time for everyone to test and report any problems
found from the pvops dom0 kernel; it's still a WIP (Work In Progress),
and requires both the success and problem reports.

That's not completely true. Things like the backend drivers are largely
forward ports (although new development work is also occurring in this

pvops may be "no better" than the 2.6.18 patches but pvops is the one
where there will be the possibility of gaining momentum/interest to get
the issues fixed.

I have send this mail two months ago and no answer, therefore I
