Re: Mass bug filing: non-UTF8 debian/{control.changelog}
Hey! Thanks for the status update. Russ Allbery wrote: There are four source packages left with changelog encoding problems: http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/debian-changelog-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding.html There are no remaining packages with control encoding problems. There is one package with a NEWS.Debian encoding problem and 417 packages with debian/copyright encoding problems, but those weren't release goals. According to http://release.debian.org/lenny/goals.txt # UTF-8 debian/changelog and debian/control Advocate: Russ Allbery Release-Team-Contact: ?? Description: Fix all remaining debian/changelog and debian/control files which don't use UTF-8. These are easily found by lintian via debian-changelog-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding and debian-control-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding. Bug-User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug-Tag: goal-utf8-control Bug-Url: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[EMAIL PROTECTED]tag=goal-utf8-control State: confirmed I think this Release Goal can be changed to State: finished very soon. Another release goal for lenny+1 should be issued inheriting the leftovers from this one. The Bug-Url field lists several bugs that seem not to exist in sid/testing anymore: #453966: xmms-arts: debian/changelog should be utf8 * [2008-01-20] xmms-arts REMOVED from testing (Britney) * [2008-01-20] Removed 0.7.1-4 from unstable (Joerg Jaspert) #453982: gmanedit: debian/changelog should be utf8 * Orphaned, still in testing, not sure about unstable. * [2008-02-11] gmanedit 0.3.3-12.1 MIGRATED to testing (Britney) #453991: gkrellmms: debian/changelog should be utf8 * [2008-02-29] Removed 2.1.22-1 from unstable (Joerg Jaspert) * [2008-01-21] gkrellmms REMOVED from testing (Britney) #454016: libglade-perl: debian/changelog should be utf8 * [2008-02-16] glade-perl REMOVED from testing (Britney) * [2008-02-15] Removed 0.61-1.1 from unstable (Joerg Jaspert) #454027: sgmltexi: debian/changelog should be utf8 * [2008-01-31] sgmltexi REMOVED from testing (Britney) * [2008-01-31] Removed 2003.00.00-2.2 from unstable (Joerg Jaspert) #454016: libglade-perl: debian/changelog should be utf8 * [2008-02-16] glade-perl REMOVED from testing (Britney) * [2008-02-15] Removed 0.61-1.1 from unstable (Joerg Jaspert) Maybe these bugs can be closed or marked as non-blocking? What about gmanedit? I am Cc:ing the ITA for followup. Anibal, do you plan to upload soon? Could you mark #453982 pending? Stuff that still needs to happen: * radiusclient: NMU (patch at #456870) by Marga (announced Thu, 28 Feb 2008) * gmanedit: upload with a new maintainer, hopefully fixing other bugs too by Anibal Alvelar * unblock of #453954 by #453966, #453982, #453991, #454016, #454027, #454016 (Amaya, about to). -- ·''`.Moi je voudrais bien, un beau matin, qu'il y ait : :' : une fleur dans mon jardin `. `' -- Manu Chao `- Proudly running (unstable) Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Sorry, #453982 should not be marked un-blocking, as gmanedit is expecting a new upload. The rest of the unblocked have just been issued. They will be closed when the packages leave stable and old-stable.

Re: Mass bug filing: non-UTF8 debian/{control.changelog}
Quoting Bas Zoetekouw ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Of those, perl is a false positive (caused by lintian not detecting the correct changelog file), the radius bugs are pending, gkrelmms is removed from the archive, and gmanedit is in the process of being adopted (but I will NMU it if necessary). I should remark here that almost all of the work was done by Christian Perrier. I merely reported most of the bugs; Christian fixed most of them. Sure but your work helped *a lot* for this. I just found those issues a few weeks and decided that I would give this a push. About perl, Brendan O'Dea mentioned me that he will anyway push the suggestion to change upstream's changelog to UTf-8.so even if this is a false positive, it could be fixed at some time. There is one package with a NEWS.Debian encoding problem and 417 packages with debian/copyright encoding problems, but those weren't release goals. Yes, I think this should be something for lenny+1, possibly combined with moving debian/copyright to machine-readable form [1]. And at that time, because lintian warns about this, the number of packages should be considerably lower. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The package perl doesn't ship its own copy of changelog.Debian, but instead relies on it's dependency, perl-base. Yet, it does ship other stuff in /usr/share/doc/perl/, including the upstream changelog. -- 1KB // Microsoft corollary to Hanlon's razor: // Never attribute to stupidity what can be // adequately explained by malice. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yeah, that's pathological enough that I don't see any easy fix for it in lintian without special-casing the perl package or not doing encoding checks on misnamed changelog files. The latter is arguable, but the perl package is the only package in Debian with this problem.

It's not how I would have done it, but I believe it complies with Policy. I would have just created /usr/share/doc/perl-base and duplicated the Debian changelog and the copyright file there, on the grounds that the small savings in disk space isn't worth the complexity, but it's hard to make a compelling argument other than aesthetics. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
