RFS: gtk-im-libthai 0.1.4-5 (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.1.4-5 of my package "gtk-im-libthai". It builds these binary packages: gtk-im-libthai - GTK+ Input Method Module using LibThai The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these lintian warnings: - W: gtk-im-libthai source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 56 - W: gtk-im-libthai source: ancient-standards-version 3.7.2.2 (current is 3.8.0) - W: gtk-im-libthai source: build-depends-on-1-revision build-depends: libthai-dev (>= 0.1.2-1) - W: gtk-im-libthai source: build-depends-on-1-revision build-depends: libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.10.1-1) - W: gtk-im-libthai: copyright-without-copyright-notice This upload also adds DM-Upload-Allowed for me to directly upload it in the future.

I'm not aware of any canonical documentation that specifically addresses your needs, since it's been so long since I learnt this stuff. In general, what you want is the source package that corresponds to the binary package you want to build, and that can usually be obtained by running 'apt-get source '. From there, you patch the package to suit your needs and then rebuild/compile the binary package (for which there are any number of methods, and documentation available). A quick Google search has found a couple of things that might be of use to you: http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2006/04/21/building-modified-debian-packages/ http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/20 - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Modifying existing packages
Hi, all, I'm new to this end - and don't know if what I want is possible or not. But here goes. I need to modify some of the stock Debian packages for different options. For instance, I need to modify Exim to include MySQL support. I have several other packages with similar needs. What I need is a pointer to instructions on how I can get the the information for how these packages were built so I can modify them to meet my needs. I'd like to change them as little as necessary to maintain compatibility with other packages. I've looked through a lot of documentation and haven't figured out how to get the original build information. But with all the available info out there, I probably missed it, also. So if someone can at least provide a pointer to doc on where I should start, I'd appreciate it. TIA. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

RFS: genwebgallery
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "genwebgallery". * Package name: genwebgallery Version : 0.7-1 Upstream Author : markus schnalke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://prog.marmaro.de/genwebgallery * License : MIT Section : web It builds this binary package: genwebgallery - generates minimalistic web galleries Very simple tool to generate static HTML pages to view pictures on the web. The generated pages are not very beautiful, but simple. They contain just what is really needed - no fancy stuff. Also the generation process is only one program call. You can specify some configuration options like the dimension of the created thumbnails, the name of the index page and some more. All image processing is done via ImageMagick. I want to add, that in one of the next releases, there will be support for a much smaller alternative to ImageMagick (on which I'm working at the moment). So, the program wants to provide a very simple web gallery generator with few dependencies. genwebgallery is written in sh, without bashism. The package is new to Debian. It appears to be lintian clean.

Please note, that I'm new to maintainship in Debian. I built the package as good as possible, and an already-maintainer had a look in it. I hope everything is fine with the package.

You don't need a wii (=the console) but only a wiimote, that is one of the controllers for it. The application makes use of the infrared-camera in the wiimote. I took gtkwhiteboard mainly because the executable is called gtkwhiteboard by upstream. Having the package a different name than the executable IMHO adds more confusion. But of course I can change the name if there is some kind of consensus that the current one if too confusing. Greetings, Thomas signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
