Re: Questions about the changelog file
+ Laurent Léonard (Fri, 17 Apr 2009 18:42:52 +0200): Hi, Hello, Laurent. Thanks for your interest in writting good changelog entries. It’s an inquietude I’d like to see more often in our maintainers. Is there a standard or a recommendation for the content of the changelog file ? As others have pointed out already, most of the questions you ask are a matter of style, and you should get an active role in picking a style that suits you. More important than style, however, is paying attention at the *contents* of your changelog files. You should always be thinking of future readers of your entries when writing them, and think about providing a concise summary of all context information without making it necessary to resort to some external source in order to gain a basic understanding of the change. For example, imagine a person would write a changelog entry like: * Add compatibility symlink libfoo.so.1 - libfoo.so.2. A fellow developer reading that change would be left wondering what was the purpose of this change and whether the person making the change is aware that such change is not correct under most circumstances. If this fellow developer wants to assess what is the case here, they will have to start an investigation of sorts to find out, which is bad because it means time lost. A proper changelog entry in this case would be: * Add compatibility symlink libfoo.so.1 - libfoo.so.2. This allows us to avoid recompiling all reverse dependencies of libfoo1, and it’s safe to do because both SONAMEs are actually compatible. See #123456. I hope the difference is obvious. As Paul Wise mentioned already, reading existing changelogs is a wonderful exercise. When I started in Debian, I would read all the changelog entries for upgraded packages in my system, and followed-up to the BTS entry for those that drawed my attention. I can assure you a learnt a lot about Debian development doing that, and I recommend it to everybody who’s starting. You can use apt-listchanges for that.

I sent this about two weeks ago, but it didn't get any response.
Oh, just one thing: this packaging is supposed to be as disruptive as
possible, with more to come, one I became the actual maintainer of this
(already agreed with David Frey).
Also, you may notice that this program was packaged quite a long time
ago, and it doesn't use debhelper or anything similar. It was just doing
its things with simple shell commands. I opted to keep it this way for
*this* upload. (As you can see, I am quite conservative here).
Further uploads will migrate to debhelper co.

Dear mentors,
The package magicfilter, a print filter for spoolers like lpr/lprng/etc,
in Debian had some issues (dependencies on nonexistent packages)
since it had not been updated in the last 3 years (according to the
changelog, its last updated was in 2006).
Since I use the package regularly and care about it, I would love to see
it uploaded to Debian and I plan on taking care of it (it is currently
RFA'ed, as said in Bug #176737).
I am, thus, looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.2-60.1 of
magicfilter.
Here is the relevant part of the changelog:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
magicfilter (1.2-60.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Do some QA work, since I care about this package and the current
maintainer issued an RFA bug (176737).
* debian/control: revamp the file:
+ replace tetex-bin with texlive.
+ replace gs with ghostscript.
+ remove gzip dependency build-dependency (it's essential).
+ remove dvips nonexistent dependency (dvips is included in texlive).
+ remove libjpeg-gif dependency (nonexistent).
+ add poppler-utils in front of xpdf-utils (the first is more updated).
+ add autotools-dev to build-deps.
+ wrap the build-deps and deps fields.
+ add Homepage: field.
* debian/watch: create from scratch.
* debian/rules:
+ don't ignore make errors.
+ don't ignore make errors (-i).
+ soon to use a patch system (quilt).
+ soon to use debhelper (it's homebrew for now).
+ add upstream changelog.
* debian/{postinst,postrm,prerm}:
+ use set -e.
* debian/copyright:
+ refer to GPL-2, not GPL.
+ added upstream copyright notice.
* debian/menu:
+ change section to Applications/System/Administration.
* debian/control:
+ change Standards-Version to 3.8.1.

Re: RFS: mpg321 (updated package)
From: Elías A. M. eal...@gmail.com Ok, I will take it into account. But first I would like first, the upstream author's opinion or some mentor. I think may be: popular command-line mp3 player (according to: http://mpg321.sourceforge.net/) I'd use just command-line mp3 player. popular sounds like advertising and adds nothing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've started looking at this package, but got caught up with other things. At the very least, you'll need to properly adopt the package before I'll upload it. I don't sponsor NMUs, and it's quite obvious you're keen to be the maintainer, so stake your claim. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think may be: popular command-line mp3 player (according to: http://mpg321.sourceforge.net/) Since upstream seems to be inactive, I strongly suggest you get access to that sf.net project to make new releases. To do so, you can either contact the people that have access to it, or failing that, re-register the project using the same short name at sourceforge and they will give you admin access to the project if the current admins don't respond. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

RFS: file-browser-applet 0.6.2-1 (updated package)
Hello again dearest mentors, Since I uploaded the last version (0.6.1-1) to mentors, a new upstream version (0.6.2-1) of my package file-browser-applet has been released. It builds these binary packages: file-browser-applet - browse and open files on your computer from the GNOME panel The package appears to be lintian clean and builds in a sid pbuilder. The upload would fix these bugs: 504525 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/file-browser-applet - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/file-browser-applet/file-browser-applet_0.6.2-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
