Hello and Questions

2008-10-13 Thread Theodore Reed
Greetings All.

I hope this is the right venue for my questions.

I've been a package maintainer for a while, on a little out-of-the-way
package (jbofihe). The upstream on it is dead, but I recently did a
new package for it that fixes a bug and the lintian warnings that had
cropped up in the last few years. I've also got another package that I
made a while back that isn't in Debian but I think should be
(basically a better version of what jbofihe is, and the upstream's
still around.)

I've decided to get back into Debian development, but there are a few
questions I've got:

1- My maintainer address on that package is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, this is no longer my primary e-mail address, and just
forwards to my GMail address. GMail isn't particularly good with
GnuPG, though. (Yes, I know about FireGPG, but I don't use Firefox as
my primary browser.) Should I just try to use mutt with GMail? (Which
I don't prefer.) Or could I make a new address that doesn't forward,
for my Debian work? (Such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]). If I did the
latter, would I just change the address in the package?

2- The GPG key I used to use is on an old machine that died. I think I
might still be able to recover the files, but I didn't have any
signatures on it anyway. Would it be better to just make a new one?
(On that note, anyone near San Bernardino, California want to swap
key-signatures?)

Your questions seem not so much related to Debian packaging, but good
enough.

 1- My maintainer address on that package is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 However, this is no longer my primary e-mail address, and just
 forwards to my GMail address. GMail isn't particularly good with
 GnuPG, though. (Yes, I know about FireGPG, but I don't use Firefox as

 I don't prefer.)

IIUC, you can use any IMAP client to access your Google Mail mailboxes
URL:http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695. So
you should choose a good MUA that has IMAP and OpenPGP support.

 2- The GPG key I used to use is on an old machine that died. I think
 I might still be able to recover the files, but I didn't have any
 signatures on it anyway.

You did, of course, keep the revocation certificate that you created
at the same time as the key pair, against just such an eventuality?
URL:http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c14.html#REVOCATION

 Would it be better to just make a new one?

If you no longer have exclusive control over your private key, then
yes, you should publish the revocation certificate for that key and
generate a new key pair for use.

Having made a new key pair you'll need to go through the whole process
of establishing signatures etc. again, since the one you revoke will,
by design, have no connection to the new key.

Glad to see you're getting back into Debian, and welcome back!

Hi, Paul

  Thanks for feedback.

  Let me reply your questions inline.

 Hi Rex,
 
 Just now I was looking for a way to remove attachments in evolution.
 While searching I found your plugin on mentors.debian.net. Since I'd
 like to use it (and therefore upload it to Debian), here is a review:
 
 Firstly it didn't actually work as expected. I attached your .dsc file
 to this message in my drafts folder, clicked the menu item, the message
 was deleted and a new message created, with the attachment still
 attached, but changed into a text file saying that the attachment has
 been removed. I expected that the attachment would actually be removed
 instead of made smaller and changed to text.


  Well, the behavior is designed for purpose. I have many business
emails with large  attachments, and I like to keep the emails for record
without the attachments. So, the plugin would not actually delete it but
replace a messages recorded that was a attachment. What I can do is to
put one more menu item as purge attachments

 A wishlist item: I'd like to be able to delete specific attachments,
 some messages can have more than one attachment but I don't want to
 delete all of them.

 The whishlist item could be done, I suppose. I will look into it.

 I think it would be great if your plugin could be merged into upstream
 evolution for evolution 2.26 so everyone has it. I'll be happy to upload
 it to Debian in the meantime though.

  Yes, it would be great. I submited a bug report[1] on gnome.org. I
also talked to Sankar P psankar at novell dot com on #evolution irc
channel, and psankar told me if the code need to get into svn, I need to
reassign the copyright to Novel. Which stop me to have the code in
upstream's svn repository. (even though I found not reason to keep the
copyright)


 The packaging seems specific to evolution 2.22 (version numbers in
 paths, conflicts against other versions), I think it would be good to
 future-proof it since evolution 2.24 has been released and hopefully
 will be in experimental soon (#). If that isn't possible, your
 build-dependencies will need to be tightened to require evo 2.22.

  I will test it when 2.24 is available in experimental.

 You don't specify which version of the GPL that the Debian packaging is
 licensed under.

 You should use the full This program is free software; you can
 redistribute it blurb in the upstream source code, not just in
 debian/copyright.

  You are right, I like to have the source code licensed under GPLv2, I
should mention it in the tarball.

 There is no homepage in debian/control and there is a related valid
 lintian -I warning:
 
 I: evolution-remove-attachments source: debian-watch-file-is-missing

  Since it's a little plugin, I did not set up a home page for it.
Should I get it? :-)

They have dropped this requirement now, so you can add it upstream now:
