RFH: tpctl/thinkpad-source
Dear collagues, when I took over the thinkpad package from Thomas Hood, I did not know that mdadm and hibernate were going to keep me *that much* occupied. It turns out that I found no time to work on the thinkpad package, despite all my great plans for it. It does not look like I'll find the time between now and "etch" either. It is thus that I solicit help for the package. Basically, the packaging needs an update to support module-assistant, and a new upstream version has been released. There is also a small number of bugs (http://bugs.debian.org/tpctl). The packages (actually, two of them: tpctl and thinkpad) are maintained in SVN right now: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-tpctl/thinkpad/trunk?op=dir svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-tpctl/thinkpad/trunk svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-tpctl/thinkpad/trunk http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-tpctl/tpctl/trunk?op=dir svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-tpctl/tpctl/trunk svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-tpctl/tpctl/trunk If you can dedicate some time to it to get it ready for etch, please do so.

I don't think there is a need for this as I'm the upstream author and the case where I would stop maintaining the package would also be the point where I'd stop maintaining the software.

I've added the copyright information for these files, but I have one

other generated configure scripts?

I think it's already done, because in /usr/share/doc/drapes/ there is
the file NEWS.gz which is the gziped copy of the NEWS file of the tarball

ok, fixed the first two issues, but I thought dh_install makes already the
copy locally... I'm wrong?
Finally, I used dpatch rewriting patch/unpatch targets looking at manpage
of dpatch, but now it's made using the method suggested by you.

I have applied config.dpatch because debian/rules, based on the template
of dh_make, makes a copy of these files from /usr/share/misc, alterating
the original tarball, with the side effect of including the updated
config.guess and config.sub in the diff.gz.
In this manner, I hope to have followed correctly the
/usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz guidelines...

Hi again,
I'm back to finish off the rest of the packages.
* I saw you filed ITPs for all the packages, make sure you include the
bug number in the changelog. (Apologies if you have done so already)
* Please switch to ${binary:Version} in debian/control[0].
* The Homepage: field is indented two spaces by convention[1].
* Your debian/copyright needs more work. There is an extra copyright
holder, and the text of a license header needs including[2]. You
should also add a statement about copyright and license of your
packaging.
* You have
dh_shlibdeps -L libvoikko1 -l debian/libvoikko1/usr/lib
in your debian/rules. What is this for? Does it not generate the
correct information for the packages without it? It may be fixed by
reversing the order or the packages in debian/control.
* Building in pbuilder fails with
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la: No such file or
directory
This is a missing build-dep on libglib2.0-dev.
* There is a lintian message about the manpage, you may want to fix
it

Powerpc user help requested wrt Bug#388423: stealth: empty package on powerpc
Dear mentor-readers, Recently, I ran into the following problem, which I'm unable to solve unless a powerpc (PPC) user is willing/able to assist by either performing some tests in collaboration with me, or by (temporarily) offering me an account. Here's the problem: On packages.debian.org [1], the PPC package of stealth 1.45-1 appears to be empty. It's the only platform showing this peculiarity, and since I currently have no access to a PPC, it's very hard to find out what caused this. The buildd log [2] shows a strange series of three `rm -rf' logs, instead of the proper installation. The following would be helpful: 1. install `icmake', and obtain the stealth source package [1]. 2. Untar the stealth archive, and from the top-level directory (stealth-1.45) run the following commands: ./build install /tmp This command will fail, since nothing has been built yet, but it shouldn't do the `rm -rf' things that show up in the buildd logs. If this works well and if stealth's other build-requirements are installed to, (libbobcat1-dev (>= 1.9.0), yodl (>= 2.01.03), g++ (>= 4.0.0), tetex-bin, tetex-extra, and gs | gs-gpl a full manual build might be performed: ./build distclean ./build manual ./build man ./build program and then: ./build install /tmp Saving all output of the build process and making it available to me would of course be greatly appreciated. 2. Another test would be to reorder the flow-control in the build script and see what happens next. Looking at the build-script you'll see the following code-section: option = element(1, argv); if (option == "clean") clean(0); if (option == "distclean") clean(1); if (option == "install") install(element(2, argv)); if (option == "man") manpage(); if (option == "manual") manual(); if (option == "program") program(); One of the things that might be worth investigating is what happens when these alternatives are reordered. E.g., by placing the clean-alternatives at the end: option = element(1, argv); if (option == "install") install(element(2, argv)); if (option == "man") manpage(); if (option == "manual") manual(); if (option == "program") program(); if (option == "clean") clean(0); if (option == "distclean") clean(1); followed by rebuilding the package. 3. Finally, I would be interested in inspecting the compiled build script. To obtain the compiled script, the following would be required: mv build build.im icmake -c build.im mv build.im build This produces a file build.bim which is the byte-compiled script. The command `icmun build.bim' should produce (after some initial tables) a long list of assembler-like instructions on the standard output stream. It would be nice to know if icmun runs fine on the build.bim file, and I would very much like to have that .bim file. It's a lot of things to ask, but I would greatly appreciate your help by performing as many of the above tests as possible. If you run a test, could you save the produced output on file, and send me the output? With test 3 the output is not useful. Instead, receiving the binary .bim file would be appreciated. As an alternative, if somebody could offer me a (temporary) account on his/her PPC, I could perform the tests myself, which would of course reduce the need to request and communicate the results of possibly many tests.

The upstream tarball must be present and named correctly. For example, assuming your package has version 0.1-1, you need webcam-server-0.1.orig.tar.gz in the same directory as webcam-server-0.1/, the directory with the source. It may be a symbolic link, the important thing is the name. Also, the version (0.1) is derived from the debian/changelog entry. So that must be equal to the name of the tarball plus a debian-part (in this example, 0.1-1). Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
