Hi,

Reopening it and looking at it again is the way forward. I hope in
conjunction with upstream where necessary this can resolved.

Hi all,

The addition to 'debian/rules' was in response to the below.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1053804

Debian may have moved on to where this temporary workaround is no longer
needed.

You may wish to contact the original reporter at some point.

Phil

Debian mentors - Packages looking for DD review and sponsorship - 2024 - 07 - 13

2024-07-13 Thread Phil Wyett
Evening all Debian Developers,

Below is a curated list of packages in Debian Mentors[1] that are felt to be
ready for review and possible sponsorship into Debian.

rumur - https://mentors.debian.net/package/rumur/
RFS: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1071427

c-evo-dh - https://mentors.debian.net/package/c-evo-dh/

wasix-libc - https://mentors.debian.net/package/wasix-libc/
RFS: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058016

baby - https://mentors.debian.net/package/baby/
RFS: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1075734

colorize - https://mentors.debian.net/package/colorize/
RFS: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1073456

By sponsoring a package on this occasion is not a commitment to sponsoring
the package in the long term if you cnnot commit to that.

Supporting Debian mentors and giving of your time is appreciated.

Regards

Phil

Morning Andrey,

Anyone can review packages, that has been part of mentors forever really. But
whoever does review a package, I would hope they see it through its journey.

* For non DDs. Hopefully take it to that ready stage where a DD can then take
over and finish a packages journey.

* For DDs. Hopefully take a package on prior to or at the ready stage and take
it through its full journey.

Is this reasonable?

Regards

Phil

Ready stage for DD review/sponsoring - Too many DDs may spoil the broth. :-)

2024-07-11 Thread Phil Wyett
Morning all,

As we embark on a new process where packages submitted to mentors are reviewed
and brought to a "Ready" stage for then busy DDs who are gracious enough to give
their time to review and possibly sponsor into Debian. We have a unique problem
(one which is now a nice one to have to be honest :-)) where more than one DD
may input on the same package review.

Could submitters to mentors and DDs please ensure that only one DD is working on
a package. This is to avoid conflicting info and also not waste valuable DD
time. If a package is taken, please find another to work on, as there are many
at the "Ready" stage.

Many thanks for your cooperation.

Regards

Phil

Morning Joerg,

Thank you for your comments. Indeed, less than 24 hours later, I received an
email stating my Debian Developer (DD), with upload application was to be closed
and now has been.

Morning,

The API currently does not seem to expose the data to extract to create such a
report. When comment is done in the comment box for an upload, we have a
dropdown with:

* Not reviewed
* Needs work
* Ready

The above data does not seem to be stored. The up-loader also has the ability to
mark an their upload as ready. These would need to be addressed before any
viable report could be thought about.

Regards

Phil

Hi Andreas,

No need at all for your clarification. My words were generally meant to be an
ideal for what I feel that mentors should be and what people can gain from it.

Your comments regarding connecting teams are in my thoughts for how we can do
better in this direction. I did reach out to the python team a little while ago
to find sponsors for a few python packages that had been languishing on mentors.
This turned into a discussion if the python team can approach sponsoring in a
different way and the ruby team was put forward, who have a very good procedures
for sponsoring.

I am not yet ready to let these thoughts out as yet until they are fully formed
and be best put forward to contributors to mentors etc.

Regards

Phil

Re: DD's, Debian Mentors needs you!

2024-07-07 Thread Phil Wyett
Morning Soren,

Many thanks for the kinds words and the encouragement.

As you stated wonderfully and I will additionally offer a little of my mentors 
motivations. Debian
mentors can be the first experience of contribution to not just Debian, but 
Free and Open Source
Software projects in general. Though technical, having mentors be welcoming and 
friendly (we all
started knowing nothing) environment with consistency of "here are the 
tests/standards required by
all" I hope with the help of others, make mentors a successful part of the 
Debian project that
attracts and retains contributors.

I must thank Gianfranco Costamagna who initially showed me the value of Debian 
mentors and
encouraged me to get involved.

Regards

Phil

Hi Xiao and all,

I am not sure if this could be done automatically. Mentors uses the expo 
platform and that will take
some research and discussion to see what maybe could be done. We could create a 
wiki page with ready
packages for DD attention that could be forwarded in a mail to this list at a 
set interval. Maybe
more experienced DDs/Contributors to Mentors such as Andrey Rakhmatullin may 
have more insight than
I here.

Regards

Phil

Hi Otto,

Many thanks for giving your time.

selint has been picked up by Pierre Gruet  via the Request For 
Sponsorship (RFS)
bug[1], so I think that one is OK. The other two are happily yours. :-)

DD's, Debian Mentors needs you!

2024-07-06 Thread Phil Wyett
Hi all DD's

Debian Mentors[1] always struggles to find available Debian Developers for 
final reviewing and
sponsoring of packages submitted too our part of the project.

We believe some packages are ready or very close to the quality for sponsorship 
and we would request
any DD who has the time and is willing, to have a look at one or more of the 
packages below and
possibly sponsor them into Debian.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the response, review and upload.

I will try to be more in touch with the GNOME team with future work. I
hope via discussion, git and MR.

To go back to time and hardware. The DPL did mention spending as part of
his DebConf20 talk. Maybe an application can be made for hardware for
members of the GNOME team, so they might have a stable instance on hand
for its related needs. GNOME is a very important part of Debian and
supporting those working on it would be a good thing.

Regards

Phil

Hi all,

Hi,

Thanks for the link Paul.

The Open Rating debtags idea I find far more appealing than package naming with
the offensive or other suffix.

Hi,

My two pence worth...

In my honest opinion, rating certain content types within a package should be
done along the lines of PEGI[1]. A self regulatory rating done as part of a
social policy and administered by the particular packages maintainer. All
subsequent questioning of rating would be done via bug reports against the
particular package.

Not an exhaustive list...

* Rating set within debian folder - maybe rating file.
* Seen on packages.d.o, PTS and query by apt etc. for package.
* Should not be auto installed as a recommends etc.

suil - current packaging query

2017-09-10 Thread Phil Wyett
Hi all,

I looked at installing audacity on stretch and found it wanted to install QT
deps as well as GTK deps. Not experiencing this in the past, I said 'n' to apt
and had a delve into why this was happening.

I found audacity now uses suil.

Package page:

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libsuil-0-0

As you can see by the deps on the page above - GTK and QT.

I looked upstream and found their packaging doc.

http://git.drobilla.net/cgit.cgi/suil.git/tree/PACKAGING

The bottom section of the doc:

*** IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR PACKAGING SUIL ***

The purpose of Suil is to abstract plugin UI toolkits away from host code.  To
achieve this, Suil performs its magic by dynamically loading modules for each
toolkit.  The main Suil library does NOT depend on any toolkit libraries, and
thus neither should your package.  Please package the individual modules
(e.g. libsuil_gtk2_in_qt4.so) as separate packages, which themselves depend on
the involved toolkits.  These packages should also be versioned as described
above to support parallel installation.

Please do not make the main Suil package depend on any toolkit package, this
defeats the purpose of Suil and will severely irritate those who for whatever
reason do not want a particular toolkit dependency.  The main Suil package may
have a weak dependency (e.g. "recommends") on the individual wrapper modules,
and it's fine if these are installed by default, but it must be possible to
install Suil without installing them if the user explicitly wishes to do so.

// End

Is it just me or should this package be broken down into a core and subset
module packages?

Any thoughts and how suil should be better packaged welcome.

Bug report?

Regards

Phil
