midentd adoption and seeking a mentor
Greetings, My apologies for the duplicate email. My name is Liz and I am interested in adopting midentd if it is still available. Since I am new to the maintainer process I suspect I will need a mentor/sponsor. I have been working with Linux for eight years or so. I am currently a Sr Linux admin for a company in Seattle ( Large web hosting company) I formally worked with the Slashdot team as their Sr Network Engineer/ Linux admins. I have worked at several large companies and have always tried to make a case for Debian ( Currently I am attempting to move boxes from White box to Debian) I would like to help with Debian and learn more about the dynamics that contribute to its success as a stable and secure distribution.

Replacement package
Hi I have created a package that replaces another package, but uses the same dependencies and have the same functionality. Given that I want to maintain a minimum of changes to existing packages I want to know if it is possible to let my package appear to debian as another package. that is: -- Depended package: fastforward_-zarge1: This package depends on qmail_zarge1. Original package: qmail_zarge1- This is the package that other packages depends on also this package depends on fastforward_-zarge1 (circular dependency). My package: qmail_patched1 - I Want this to be a replacement to qmail_zarge1but without changing fastforward_-zarge1 -- Coming from a RPM world I am used to using a provide keyword (that is a keyword that tells the package system that my package provides the same functionality as qmail_zarge1). Can this somehow be done ?. Regards. Lars Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Regarding /usr/local with private packages
Hello I feel a little stupid... :) I'm building a private(!) package with files in /usr/local/bin for a host where /usr/local/ is a symlink. Whenever I remove the package the symlink gets removed by dpkg although there are plenty of (non-Debian maintained) files in /usr/local. I guess this is because dpkg thinks the directory is empty and tries to clean up. Is this behaviour unavoidable? bye, -christian- pgpCqMwxYUr4E.pgp Description: PGP signature

Don't have a package create files in /usr/local - it's against policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.1.2. It doesn't really matter that the package is not for public consumption; it is still useful to comply with the policy documents to avoid this sort of brokenness. local here means not managed by the OS package manager rather than not supplied with the OS.

I guess this is because dpkg thinks the directory is empty and tries to clean up. I would say it's because your package owns /usr/local in the dpkg -S /usr/local sense. The .list files in /var/lib/dpkg/info do not specify whether the owned items are files or directories, so dpkg follows the /usr/local symlink when installing your package, and then removes /usr/local as it's not owned by any other package when uninstalling it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

RFS: libimage-rsvg-perl (#2)
Hi, This is RFS #2 for libimage-rsvg-perl. Image::LibRSVG is a great perl binding to librsvg. librsvg is the lib used by Gnome, for example, to render thumbnails of SVG drawings. I've packaged Image::RSVG perl, and look for someone to look at it and if possible to sponsor its upload. * Package: libimage-rsvg-perl * License: dual GPL/Artistics (same terms as Perl itself) * Description: Perl binding for librsvg This package contains the Image::LibRSVG Perl module, which enables rasterization of SVG drawings into bitmap images from Perl scripts. ITP is #276614. It's files are at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libimage-rsvg-perl Could someone at least look at the package? ;-) Cheers, -- Antonio S. de A.

Have you generated a package yet? If so, you will find it inside the package-version.diff.gz file. If you don't have diff.gz file, it's because you made a native package, i.e. the debian/ directory is directly into the upstream tarball. Natives packages are special cases to me and the regular packager won't need it. A regular software package should have its Debian packages keep separated. To do so, use a tarball without the debian/ directory in it and name it with a .orig.tar.gz extension. I would like to re-generate the rules file. How to? Probably by using dh_make as you may have done the first time. If you are confident with source versioning, consider using one of the cvs-buildpackage, or svn-, or tla-. I use the latter and couldn't work without it now! -- Hervé Cauwelier http://www.oursours.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

DESTDIR and .conf file
Hello, I'm still learning to build debian package. Following the Debian New Maintainer's guide. There are two things I dont understand: 1 ) --- I want that once the binary package is installed, the file 'minimalist.pl' is into '/usr/bin'. To do so, I put these in the install section of my rules file: install: build dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_installdirs cp minimalist.pl debian/minimalist/usr/bin Is it right? Where should I specify i want it into '/usr/bin', '/usr/sbin', whatever... ? There's no makefile for this software. It's just about copying one file into the path. 2 ) To install the configuration file, I append to what I written (in the install section yet: cp minimalist.conf-sample debian/minimalist/etc/minimalist.conf I had to append 'etc' into the 'dirs' file. Is it right ? PS: I do know there is a minimalist package. I just do it to learn. -- ASPO Infogérance http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance Unofficial FAQ fcolc http://faq.fcolc.eu.org/ LUG sur Orléans et alentours (France).

Re: Replacement package
Lars Roland [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well yes and no - as I understand it you are allowed to distribute it as long as you do not call it Qmail. It doesn't really matter, at least to Debian, since it's not for inclusion in the Debian archive, but for the record this is not a correct understanding of the license on qmail. It is not covered under the Artistic License. It is covered under a license that gives you the right only to download, compile, and install the package on your system, and to distribute the results of compiling the stock package with no modifications. To do anything else, you have to get permission from DJB, although he's stated elsewhere that he doesn't think copyright law can prohibit the distribution of patches or your application of patches to software you're building yourself. (Note that doesn't include distributing the result.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If a file is provided by the package, then it is a conffile and not only a configuration file. OTOH, if maintainer scripts create the file (possibly from a template in /usr/share/), then it is a configuration file but not a conffile.

Directing bug reports away from the Debian BTS
G'day, I maintain a few unoffical Debian packages. Before I make my repository available to the world, I'd like to ensure that if someone runs reportbug on one of my packages, it will email me, and not the Debian BTS. The packages are targeted at sarge or better. Thank you for your kind assistance Jamie -- PGP/MIME or S/MIME signed mail preferred. No HTML mail. No Word attachments.
