Please do another localization too
Hello, I would ask you, if you can do deb package of Czech thunderbird localisation package. I am new to Debian, that is way I am not able to do it by myself. Please do it or please post it to the right maintainer who would do it. The link for czech package is this: http://ftp.cesnet.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.czilla.cz/mozilla.org/thunderbird/1.0.2/lang/ It is link from official Czech Mozilla site http://www.czilla.cz/download/ Thank you, Roman

Re: Shotgun Debugger: different data packages depending on endianness

MD2 is a binary format, and is thus prone to endianness incompatibility. The models that come with the Shotgun Debugger packages will work on little-endian architectures (Intel x86, AMD64, etc.) only. If you plan on compiling Shotgun Debugger on a big-endian system (PowerPC*, SPARC, etc.), you will need to download the big-endian model pack. These models have the .md2b extension; just put them in the models/ directory. Shotgun Debugger recognizes the endianness of your system and loads the appropriate model set. I've created two different packages, one with the md2 files and another one with the md2b files. I've tried to make the main program install the appropriate package depending on it's endianness but I wasn't able to get it working. Any ideas how to do it? BTW, which debian archs are big endian and which are small endian? I guess you could Recommend: endianpkg1 | endianpkg2. Really, it seems that the game should just work with a single set of data files by doing appropriate byteswapping. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

BTW, which debian archs are big endian and which are small endian? You can Build-Depend on the type-handling package. As long as the main package is Arch: any, this has a way to make the main package Depend upon the appropriate data package (sdb-data-little-endian vs. sdb-data-big-endian ?) by playing with the debian/control file at build time. I assume both data packages would be Arch: all, right? Alternatively you could have the data package be Arch: any and build it with the appropriate endianness for each platform. But that would waste an awful lot of disk space. I agree with Justin that it would be most preferable to have only one data file package, and hack the program code to flip the endianness (on the appropriate platforms) in memory at the time of loading the data files. From what I remember, the following are little-endian: i386 amd64 alpha ia64 mipsel and the following are big-endian: powerpc s390 m68k mips sparc hppa I believe arm and Super-H can be either endianness, but Debian only supports one endianness for arm -- I forget which though. (Super-H is an unofficial port which I think plans to support both cases.) regards, -- Kevin B.

Packaging Qube, Was: Looking for a sponsor
I'd like to make new packages soon (Cube, libenet, etc.). Please note that cube has licensing issues. The game engine itself is zlib, but nearly all media files are not redistributable. The engine is itself will only run in i386, porting to amd64 (and other arches) is nontrivial. The author also refuses to accept any patches, because he considers cube as 'his baby'. A friend of mine has therefore forked cube, in order to get a real freely distributable version of the game out of the door with support for arches like amd64. It is however not really in a releasable state: http://wwwcip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sibrklei/kg/ -- regards, Reinhard

A Debian packaged Cube would thus be incompatible to most running servers -- only until most servers use the Debian package, of course ;) The engine is itself will only run in i386, porting to amd64 (and other arches) is nontrivial.

Do you have comments, suggestions, critics? Firstly, I note that the upstream archmage tarball includes an old (GFDLed) version of chmspec. Note that including non-free material in the orig.tar.gz may be an RC bug for etch (the next debian release): http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/06/msg00242.html I'm the main upstream author of chmspec, which has been since relicenced under the GPL. I recommend that you remove chmspec from the orig.tar.gz and replace it with links to the upstream homepages: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/chmspec http://www.nongnu.org/chmspec/ http://www.nongnu.org/chmspec/latest/ It also contains a copy of Matthew Russotto's CHM container format spec, which is also non-free (not modifiable). Please do the same for it: http://www.speakeasy.org/~russotto/chm/chmformat.html I suggest you push these changes upstream too. Comments about your packaging/etc: 1. Where is your ITP bug? 2. It contains a copy of chmlib - you probably want to adapt archmage to build-depend on the chmlib-dev and depend on chmlib. I think I saw something about this kind of thing in the release policy or something. 3. lintian -i gives the following warning: W: archmage: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly N: N: The synopsis (first line in the package Description: field, the N: short description) ends with a full stop . character. This is not N: necessary, as the synopsis doesn't need to be a full sentence. It is N: recommended that a descriptive phrase is used instead. N: N: Note also that the synopsis is not part of the rest of the N: Description: field. N: N: Refer to Policy Manual, section 3.4.1 for details. N 4. Remove README.Debian - it is effectively empty. 5. Remove commented lines in debian/rules. You may also want to use cdbs instead for the python stuff. 6. Why is the default fs_encoding set to koi8-r - utf-8 will suite more users I would think. 7. You should probably use gcc rather than any specific version of gcc, since it will fail to build when gcc-4.0 becomes the default and no-one has gcc-3.3 installed by default. 8. The description in debian/control could use some reformatting - put . on its own on a line to create a blank line, or remove the linefeeds between sentences. -- bye, pabs http://pabs.zip.to signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
