Recently there were quite a few suggestions on how to check this semi automatically (check the archives). The best way is probably to use pbuilder. The dependency on debhelper is OK.

My dependencies were pretty much based on the script example from the maintainers guide. I don't know of a reliable way to determine the build dependencies otherwise. I've removed the lib dependencies, gcc and the versions as you recommended. I've kept the version dependency for debhelper as that was put there by a script, not sure if the version is needed or not.

I asked for a sponsor back in november in debian-mentors and debian-kde, but did not recieved any replies. I thought everyone is busy squashing their RC bugs for the Sarge release. I'll continue searching for a sponsor, but won't flood debian-mentors or others with my RFS. I also tagged my ITP with "patch" to get listed at Justin's page (http://rtfo.org/~justin/itp+patch/sponsor-needed.html), but it seems that only a few developers know his page. > > As I said before, I have packaged KBoincSpy for Debian and would > > appreciate it if someone could have a look at this package.

I have imported the whole KBoincSpy source into a Subversion repository, so that I can reverse all changes made to the source. Maybe multiple patches is a nicer approach, but directly modifying the source is IMHO easier. I'll take your remarks into consideration at the next upstream release, which will probably be short after [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes public. > - The package recommends boinc-client, but where is this package available? > A comment in the description, or in README.Debian, will be great for a > BOINC newbie. Your are absolutely right, I'll add a notice to the README.Debian. At the moment there is only a source package, called boinc-public, available which creates the boinc-client binary package: http://bioinformatics.pzr.uni-rostock.de/~moeller/debian/boinc/ Maybe there will be BOINC source and binary packages soon at: http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org > - The override for 'desktop-file-in-wrong-dir' is unneeded if you patch the > Makefile.am for installing in the xdg_apps directory (which is correct, of > course).

I was already using xdg_apps, but lintian complained about the other .desktop files, that are installed into /usr/share/services and /usr/share/servicetypes. I'll check again at the next lintian upgrade and will remove this override if the warnings disappear. Thanks for replying and looking at my package, I appreciate that! -Frank

RFS: python-pysnmp3 - a native Python SNMP engine
Hello! I'm looking for a sponsor for python-pysnmp3. PySNMP is a pure python implementation of a SNMP client (from http://pysnmp.sourceforge.net/). My package is available at http://d072.apm.etc.tu-bs.de/~jluebbe/debian/ I have currently built packages for python 2.3 and 2.4. Description: native Python SNMP engine This is a Python implementation of SNMP v.1/v.2c engine. Its general functionality is to assemble/disassemble SNMP messages from/into given SNMP Object IDs along with associated values. PySNMP also provides a few transport methods specific to TCP/IP networking. PySNMP is written entirely in Python and is self-sufficient in terms that it does not rely on any third party tool (it is not a wrapper!).

I remember with happiness when I was new to free software, and used seti at home, and KSetiSpy. I liked it a lot, and KBoincSpy looks greater, now that the framework is free software.

Normally a sponsor will check better for malicious or improper changes if you don't modify directly the sources. I suggest you to create a patchsystem, and put your changes in debian/patches.

Re: RFS: Bustle - to do list manager with a difference
Hi Fred Some more questions and suggestions concerning your package: - As you are also the upstram author of Bustle, why do you fix your makefile in the Debian diff and don't incorporate these changes in a new upstream release? - Why do you build depend on libncurses5, libxcursor1, libxft2 and libxrandr2? Shouldn't you either build depend on the respective -dev packages or remove these dependcies altogether? - Why are all your build dependecies versioned? Do you really know that you need at least these versions or is this just a wild guess? If you don't really need the versioned dependencies, I would remove them. And you don't need to depend on gcc-3.3 if you just need a gcc (>= 3.3). The build-essential package already depends on gcc (>= 3:3.3), g++ (>= 3:3.3).

making a debian distribution cd.
I am trying to make a Debian distribtuion CD. I have downloaded netinstaller(Woody) in which i tried to add some packages and follow the steps to make a debian custom Cd given on the wikidebain site. http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianCustomCD I have tried to synchronise the pool directory with the mirror. I changed the CONF.SH and Package.gz to include the new packages. however after following the steps they do not appear in the final image or the tmp directory. What other modifications are required?
