Re: RFS: akregator - RSS feed aggregator for KDE
Some preliminary comments as I have not yet had time to look at the package proper: - the diff.gz is pretty much empty, it just patches the debian/changelog. I have not been able to verify if the upstream tarballs contain debian/* as the files do not seem to be on the sf.net mirrors yet. From the CVS logs you seem to be part of the development team, so it might be simpler to have the upstream tarballs drop debian/* and just include these files in your diff.gz (which doesn't prevent you from keeping debian/* in the same CVS repository!). - the package versions look dodgy, as there are 2 dashes (1.0-beta4-1). Furthermore you are going to run into problems when the final 1.0 version comes out: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0-beta4-1 lt 1.0-1 echo true [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ You might consider labeling the beta versions something like 0.99+1.0beta4-1.

Actually, it only fetches the required patches, verifies signatures, and applies them. Compilation and installation are left to the user. Importantly, it only fetches the 30 or megabyte archive when necessary, saving a lot of bandwidth: good for kernel.org as well as dial-up users. There was a suggestion that this script could be packaged in an existing package. I had a look but there was no obvious place. Debian is geared completely towards debian packaged source, patches and kernel binaries, and this doesn't fit with that. Any suggestions, please? Jack Wasey

Granted, I haven't done any | 65816-programming. | | | Regards: David Weinehall I should mention that after discussing this with upstream[1], it turns out that four source files actually do fall under the old license, making one program non-free. 95% of it is in contrib, because the program that's non-free is the C compiler, and I decided that was important enough to be a Depends. So it's been split into three packages now, cc65 (the free binaries, contrib/arch), cc65-compiler (the non-free binary, non-free/arch) and cc65-libs (the platform specific libs, but which I believe are architecture independant, because they are simply built by the cc65 tools themselves, contrib/all). Somebody told me that a lot of DDs don't like sponsoring non-free packages, so I hope that doesn't change your mind. But I thank you for the interest either way! Well, I'm not fond of non-free either, and I neither use nor maintain any non-free packages, so sponsoring one would indeed be a bit awkward. And reading the thread on debian-legal, it seems that upstream has a somewhat strange perspective towards copyright issues, so I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw my offer to sponsor you, at least for the time beingg. While it would be really nice to have this set of tools in Debian, I'd rather suggest you either find some way to build only package the free parts, or wait with the packaging until the whole legal issues have been resolved and the entire package is free. While a 65xx/65xxx-development kit would be nice, do we really want it at the expense of yet another non-free package?

Re: RFS: akregator - RSS feed aggregator for KDE
Some preliminary comments as I have not yet had time to look at the package proper: - the diff.gz is pretty much empty, it just patches the debian/changelog. I have not been able to verify if the upstream tarballs contain debian/* as the files do not seem to be on the sf.net mirrors yet. From the CVS logs you seem to be part of the development team, so it might be simpler to have the upstream tarballs drop debian/* and just include these files in your diff.gz (which doesn't prevent you from keeping debian/* in the same CVS repository!). - the package versions look dodgy, as there are 2 dashes (1.0-beta4-1). Furthermore you are going to run into problems when the final 1.0 version comes out: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --compare-versions 1.0-beta4-1 lt 1.0-1 echo true [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ You might consider labeling the beta versions something like 0.99+1.0beta4-1.

Funny to see after several posting _why_ a script is created. From http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html So, tell us what exactly your package does, and why it should be in Debian. If there is already a program that does a similar thing, say why your one is better. Put a little hot spice in there to hold people's interest. in other words, think like an advertising executive. Just remember to wash the slime off afterwards. Any suggestions, please? Mmmm, kernel-package? from http://packages.debian.org/stable/misc/kernel-package Package: kernel-package (7.107) Debian Linux kernel package build scripts. This package provides the capability to create a debian kernel-image package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source directory tree. It can also package the relevant kernel headers into a kernel-headers package. In general, this package is very useful if you need to create a custom kernel, if, for example, the default kernel does not support some of your hardware, or you wish a leaner, meaner kernel. It also scripts the steps that need be taken to compile the kernel, which is quite convenient (forgetting a crucial step once was the initial motivation for this package). Please look at /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Rationale.gz for a full list of advantages of this package. Jack Wasey Cheers Geert Stappers pgpY7S2mxhgON.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well, I'm not fond of non-free either, and I neither use nor maintain any non-free packages, so sponsoring one would indeed be a bit awkward. And reading the thread on debian-legal, it seems that upstream has a somewhat strange perspective towards copyright issues, so I'm afraid I'll have to withdraw my offer to sponsor you, at least for the time beingg. While it would be really nice to have this set of tools in Debian, I'd rather suggest you either find some way to build only package the free parts, or wait with the packaging until the whole legal issues have been resolved and the entire package is free. While a 65xx/65xxx-development kit would be nice, do we really want it at the expense of yet another non-free package?

Fwd: saslauthd from binary package seg faulting?
I sent this message to the sasl2-bin package maintainer, but I suspect he's really busy. I haven't received a response. I'm not sure whether to open a bug, because I don't understand the problem. I can't reproduce the problem with the sasl2-bin binary package, compiling the source package on my machine. Compiling the binary package on *my* machine is obviously not a solution : ) Maybe one of you can help? Thanks! Jack Begin forwarded message: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: June 23, 2004 12:16:21 PM PDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: saslauthd from binary package seg faulting? I've tried for many months to get saslauthd working with PAM - I happen to use the pam_krb5 module. Now it's working when I build it myself - but I don't know why. I have a pretty stock installation of unstable on a Pentium 75 and a Celeron 433. Using the binary packages in unstable (sasl2-bin 2.1.18-4.1) and testsaslauthd -u user -p incorrect, authentication correctly fails. Using, however, testsaslauthd - u user -p correct, saslauthd seg faults. Jeremy Rumpf had been helping me debug the problem, but when I recompiled the package to get debug symbols, it wouldn't seg fault - it worked! As a matter of fact, even if I compile sasl2-bin w/o debug symbols (dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot) it works. So ... Why does the Debian binary package seg fault, but the binary package built from the Debian source not? Maybe some library on my machine? Like I said, my installation is pretty stock. Jeremy Rumpf doesn't use Debian, so I don't know who to ask. Thanks! Jack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
