Problems with libraries and soname and python
Hello everyone, i'm just packaging a new library and i having problems with the sonames. Let's call my package libsome. I have (more or less) libsome1: /usr/lib/libsome.so.1.1.1 /usr/lib/libsome.so.1 - /usr/lib/libsome.so.1.1.1 libsome1-dev: /usr/lib/libsome/libsome_files.so /usr/lib/libsome/libsome_shadow.so /usr/lib/libsome.so - /usr/lib/libsome.so.1.1. *.la *.h But when running lintian i get: W: libsome1-dev: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libsome_shadow.so libsome_files.so How should i resolv this? Apart of this, i also hve python bindings: python2.3-libsome: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libsomemodule.la /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libsome.so And i have this on lintian: W: python2.3-libsome: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libsomemodule.so All this only appears with the last version of lintian.

Re: pbuilder fails when looking for X / XOpenDisplay
Hi, On sam, aoû 06, 2005, Kevin Coyner wrote: Is there a flag or options I need to set in pbuilder for X to be recognized? Your package is borken, this is not a pbuilder issue, but pbuilder detects it: you are missing build-dependencies. In this case, it seems you're missing a build-dependency on libx11-dev. pbuilder is helpful in detecting missing build-dependencies because it starts from an almost virgin environment. Your dpkg-buildpackage is successful because the build-dependencies are installed on your system, but it is an error in your package not to list them in the control file. I suggest you try understanding what the requirements are to build your package, this is usually achieved by reading the upstream INSTALL file or better: the configure.ac/in. You can then derive the needed build-deps. Bye, -- Loïc Minier [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Andrew, thank you for your hint about the copyright. But I'm not willing to give up so quickly :) As a first step, I've noticed, that this package builds without any problems after I've removed the win-dir (surprise). I think this is a very important first step. But bevore I continue, my question is: When I remove all the copyrighted stuff and if the package is still build- and runnable afterwards, is it possible to let it go into debian as contrib? I wonder, because even if I've cleaned up the whole sources, there would still be the .orig.tar.gz where all this copyrighted stuff is in.

I've asked them about the win-dir and may hopefully get an answer in the next hours. 2) The gifs are free!

In order to distribute any part of Sun's j2sdk you have to agree that (iii) you do not distribute additional software intended to replace any component(s) of the Software. Since Debian distributes and encourages free replacements such as Kaffe, GCJ and SableVM, no part of j2sdk can be distributed by the Project at all, even from non-free. If these files are showstoppers, then I'll just remove the win-dir (we obviously don't need it anyway). Yep, that's what you'll need to do. Kind regards and thanks for your help No worries. :-) Cheers, -- Andrew Saunders

I'd like to package tvbrowser as non-free at the first run and in the meantime try to convince upstream to substitute this non-free-images with free ones in the next version. If they don't want to do so, than I'd do this by myself in order to push tvbrowser from non-free to contrib. Would this be OK? Sounds good.

Done! :) I've removed the win-dir from the original-sources and the real sources. The package is marked as non-free, lintian- and linda clean. I hope after all this endeavors, someone will sponsor this problem child ;) http://venthur.de/debian/tvbrowser/ Kind regards Bastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Last I checked you can't distribute parts of Sun's java anyway, only the *precise* installer files provided by Sun. You're not even allowed to stuff the installer inside a .deb package. Blackdown had to get explicit permission from Sun to distribute their version. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -- | signature.asc Description: Digital signature
