Re: RFS: gaupol -- Subtitle editor for text-based subtitle files
Paul Wise ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Thanks for packaging this. BTW, once it is uploaded, check out the popcon results for the package: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?popcon=gaupol Now package is listed only in unknown section [1] (2 users have it) [1] http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_inst.gz Most importantly, register on sponsors.debian.net so it isn't lost. I registered a weeks ago but... I didn't receive confirmation mail yet (sic!) I have even send a bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but no reply till today :( Some comments/questions: * The default version of python in debian is 2.3 (this is changing soon). You should always use the default version unless your package won't work with the default version, otherwise python transitions will take longer. gaupol _requires_ python v2.4, it wont work on v2.3 BTW: if I use python 2.4 in Build-Depends-Indep, it wont build on pbuilder (thats why I have both python and python2.4-dev in this field) * Why did you file an extra ITP when there was already one? You should have pinged the bug and changed its owner if there was no response. Did you contact the submitter of #345899 to see if s/he is still intending to package gaupol (it is only a couple of months older)? Believe me, I was searching for it in reportbug but i missed it. Now I know that I should use google, reportbug is not good enough for searching bugs. RFP and my ITP are now merged * debian/copyright: needs to contain the copyright statement from the upstream copyright holders (all of them). Use grep and mc to find them all. for eg: Copyright 2005 Jane Doe Copyright 2006 John Doe Hmm, can you write an example? I tried `grep -ir copyright [^COPYING]*| grep -v Salomaa` and it seems that Osmo Salomaa is the only author. I'm not counting translation, in ca.po it says: Copyright (C) 2006 THE gaupol'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER so I think there is no need to add extra information in debian/copyright * debian/copyright: you forgot to add the licence statement in full. specifically, you missed out the warranty disclaimer and the how to get the GPL bit. You mean: On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'. (quote from debian/copyright file)? * debian/control: you should use the output of dh_python to add python depends. Since gaupol requires python 2.4, I had to fill depends field by myself (see above). It builds in pbuilider. * debian/control: add extra space before Homepage - see devref 6.2.4 I missed that space, I have to correct my griffith package as well... * debian/control: I'd suggest mentioning some of the other features from the upstream website - translation and spell-check are important to mention IMO. See discussion here [2], spell-check is now not possible using just debian official packages (PyEnchant package is not available). [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358189 * debian/gaupol.1: typo in DESCRIPTION: command not commands It was generated by dh_make, but I still think it is correct (there are more than one command: '-h', '-t', ...) * debian/docs: you might want to distribute po/ChangeLog and maybe po/README.translators I will add them * debian/rules: shouldn't you be running setup.py clean in the clean target? It is doing nothing, should I add it? * Don't forget to build in pbuilder, test with puiparts, lintian and linda and once it is uploaded add tags to the debtags[1] database. It builds in pbuilder and it is lintian/linda clean (see my previous mails) `apt-cache search puiparts` and `apt-file search bin/puiparts` returns no result, can you write more about it?

These are not just theoretical things, but actively make things more difficult for me. 1. You don't have to upload the entire .orig.tar.gz on every Debian release. This has been mentioned occasionally, but I mention it again since it is probably the only really significant reason I have ever heard before. 2. It allows one to easily read .diff.gz on PQDO [0], which is set up such as to allow transparent decompression by the browser. When you hear OSS or whatever advertized as peer reviewed, this is why. It allows me to tag bugs upstream if I can look briefly at the .diff.gz (or check the size, which is shown as a mouse hover title) and confirm that there aren't any relevant patches applied. It also lets me to other checks really easily, whereas I would otherwise have to :Nread and |gunzip in vim or whatever.

So if you do your RFS, enable directory listing on your server (or in package directory), post the exact link of every file in the mail so we can mark them and use wget or upload them to http://sponsors.debian.net. And do whatever needs to be done so a .diff.gz shows up in my browser, rather than making me download it :) Apropos http://sponsors.debian.net/ : It seems that this service is not really used (at least by sponsors). Looking at http://sponsors.debian.net/listing.php?sort=pa_createdshow=184offset=0order=desc shows the following data for 2006: Packages created in 2006: 80 Packages from 2006 without sponsor: 51 Sponsored/assigned packages: 29 Packages sponsored by/assigned to Florian Ragwitz: 27 Packages sponsored by/assigned to Micah Anderson: 1 Packages sponsored by/assigned to David Moreno Garza: 1 It looks like http://sponsors.debian.net/ is a service primarily for Florian's efforts ;-) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ | gpg key ID: 0x00F3CFE4 : :' : infos zur usenet-hierarchie at.*: http://www.usenet.at/ `. `' member of https://www.vibe.at/ | how to reply: http://got.to/quote/ `-NP: The Johnny Thompson Singers: You May Look For Me signature.asc Description: Digital signature

kqemu package
Hi, Would you know any project to make a kqemu Debian package? I know there is already a qemu, I just subscribed to the ML, but how about kqemu? -- A powerfull GroupWare, CMS, CRM, ECM: CPS (Open Source GPL). Opengroupware, SPIP, Plone, PhpBB, JetSpeed... are good: CPS is better. http://www.cps-project.org for downloads documentation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: kqemu package
It is not open source... you would have to put it in the non-free section. Rakotomandimby Mihamina wrote: Hi, Would you know any project to make a kqemu Debian package?

The problem is, you are not allowed to distribute kqemu. So, the only thing you will be legally permitted to do with your package will be installing it on any number of machines under your control. If you don't insist on having proper packages: # apt-get build-dep qemu $ apt-get source qemu Untar the kqemu tarball inside the qemu dir. The last time I checked, kqemu had version 0.7.2 while qemu 0.8.0 -- but it's ok. Then, you need to make sure you have proper kernel headers in /usr/src/linux (or somewhere else, in this case you'll have to append --kernel-path= to configure). Then, you build qemu normally, it's configure script will notice the kqemu subdir and build it as well. The deb will have support for kqemu enabled, but won't include the package itself. 'make install' as root inside the kqemu dir will fix that. In order to make proper packages, you would have to edit kqemu/Makefile and kqemu/install.sh, changing all hard-coded paths appropiately. -- /---\ Shh, be vewy, vewy quiet, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I'm hunting wuntime ewwows! \---/ Segmentation fault (core dumped) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Not even there, at least not without explicit authorisation from Fabrice Bellard. You can still make a downloader+installer package (for contrib), but it will break every time the upstream webpage changes. -- /---\ Shh, be vewy, vewy quiet, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I'm hunting wuntime ewwows! \---/ Segmentation fault (core dumped) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

RFC: swfmill
swfmill is an xml2swf and swf2xml processor with import functionalities License: GNU GPL Homepage: http://iterative.org/swfmill/ It's most common use is the generation of asset libraries containing images (PNG and JPEG), fonts (TTF) or other SWF movies for use with MTASC-compiled ActionScript, although swfmill can be used to produce both simple and complex SWF structures. Features: * Built around an XSLT/EXSLT processor (libxslt) * Input and output of the XSLT transformation can be either XML or binary SWF * XSLT commands for importing PNG, JPEG, TTF and SWF, and for mapping SWF ID numbers * Built-in simple dialect to support library creation and building simple SWFs My packages are available at http://baby.yi.org/packages/swfmill/ (lets hope my home server stays up for some time, I'm still having small problems with the connection) Thanks, Miry __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.
