Config::Model was designed to handle this kind of situation. Config::Model can be used to load old users data from old file, migrate data from old config directives to new config directives and save them in the new config file. As this is an interesting real world use case, I will help you create this migration tool with Config::Model. What do you think ?

Ping me in 10 days? Hi Asheesh, I've rebuilt packages for the latest release (0.19.1). The .dsc is at http://ceph.newdream.net/debian/pool/ceph-stable/c/ceph/ceph_0.19.1-1.dsc I've also futzed around with my scripts for building .debs for the ceph.newdream.net repository (now using pbuilder, reprepro). I suspect I'm not quite doing the right thing wrt package versions for the different distributions (I'm appending something like ~bpo50+1 for lenny .deb, etc.), but for now at least it works well enough for the separate repository. And I'm not sure it's that important from the perspective of getting the packages in sid anyway. There is also a ceph-kclient package with the source code for the kernel module: http://ceph.newdream.net/debian/pool/ceph-stable/c/ceph-kclient/ceph-kclient_0.19.1-1.dsc As I understand it there is some make-kpkg magic that is supposed to build it automagically (if it's properly packaged) but I haven't found any good documentation on how that should be done for standalone modules. I'm behind on this, but I hope to look again deeper by Monday evening. Reviewing now. Initial thoughts: * Your diff.gz is empty. I guess that's better than making this a native package, but other maintainers will prefer that the debian directory be added during in the diff.gz. I think the ftpmasters might find your way a little shocking. * You should remove the commented-out dh_* lines in debian/rules. Your move_dbg_files script -- could be replaced by more careful use of dh_strip? Check out the --dbg-packages=package option described in "man dh_strip". (Also, if you feel like it, you could try debhelper 7, but that's no big deal.) I'm still waiting for my build to finish. I hope that when it does and I have it installed, it will be clear how to use it so that I can easily test if it works as advertised.

One last thing: I saw that totem-plugins (which featured the youtube plugin) is in main. But videos on youtube are not free, are they? So, what about this? Kind regards, Nicolas ps: I updated the source package. The section is now set to "video" so it's now consistent with other totem packages -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

New packager
Hi all,
first of all presentations: I'm Fabrizio, Italian, Linux sysadm who's
involved from looong time in Debina/Ubuntu/FSF, and so on.
I'm an active developer for ArcheOS (www.archeos.eu), a Squeeze-based distro
for archaeological purposes, still in development but very promising.
For that distro me and my colleagues need to include a lot of packages that
are not in official Debian repositories, so we start the hard packaging
work. Navigating through the various howto and guides I've decided to kill
two birds with one stone and become a DM/DD, starting, of course, with
packaging.
Now, the great of the software we need in ArcheOS are in Java, some are web
applications (some webGIS, and so on). Licensing is not a problem but
packaging is a little more difficult than usual, so the conclusion to write
in this ML to ask help to you: I need someone that can assist me in
packaging and later will guide me through the process to became a DD.
What do you think about? I'm forgetting something? I'm too arrogant?
Ciao,
Fabrizio

Ping me in 10 days? Hi Asheesh, I've rebuilt packages for the latest release (0.19.1). The .dsc is at http://ceph.newdream.net/debian/pool/ceph-stable/c/ceph/ceph_0.19.1-1.dsc I've also futzed around with my scripts for building .debs for the ceph.newdream.net repository (now using pbuilder, reprepro). I suspect I'm not quite doing the right thing wrt package versions for the different distributions (I'm appending something like ~bpo50+1 for lenny .deb, etc.), but for now at least it works well enough for the separate repository. And I'm not sure it's that important from the perspective of getting the packages in sid anyway. There is also a ceph-kclient package with the source code for the kernel module: http://ceph.newdream.net/debian/pool/ceph-stable/c/ceph-kclient/ceph-kclient_0.19.1-1.dsc As I understand it there is some make-kpkg magic that is supposed to build it automagically (if it's properly packaged) but I haven't found any good documentation on how that should be done for standalone modules. I'm behind on this, but I hope to look again deeper by Monday evening. Reviewing now. Initial thoughts: * Your diff.gz is empty. I guess that's better than making this a native package, but other maintainers will prefer that the debian directory be added during in the diff.gz. I think the ftpmasters might find your way a little shocking. * You should remove the commented-out dh_* lines in debian/rules. Generally a great package. Hey other mentors -- is an empty .diff.gz something that will make the ftpmasters upset? If not, I will upload it immediately. Sage, I hope we work together to improve the other issues, but they're minor bugs compared to the great work you've done so far. -- Asheesh. -- Do more than anyone expects, and pretty soon everyone will expect more. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm forgetting something? You've forgetten to provide a specific, answerable question. We don't generally "pair up" with someone straight off the bat (although over time you'll no doubt find yourself talking to the same subset of people, as they deal with similar issues you do). But for now, ask specific and detailed questions on this list, and hope that someone's come across the problem too and solved it. Providing the complete source package you're dealing with, for examination, is also strongly encouraged. > I'm too arrogant?

I'm moving debian/ into the diff.gz and cleaning out debian/rules, but will need some time to remember what my problem was with dh_strip (IIRC I couldn't make it generate multiple -dbg versions for the various binary .debs?). I'm having one other problem: I'm using pbuilder to build debs on multiple platforms. So I used dpkg-source -b to generate the original .dsc and .diff.gz. Then copy these to another platform (i386 in this case) and run something like sudo pbuilder build --basetgz ~/debian-base/sid.tgz --distribution sid \ --buildresult release/0.19.1/out --debbuildopts -j`grep -c processor \ /proc/cpuinfo` release/0.19.1/ceph_0.19.1-1.dsc The problem is that pbuilder is generating a _new_ .dsc and .diff.gz, with a slightly different md5sum (maybe in a timestamp in the .gz?), and the .changes file references the new .dsc. Which then makes reprepro complain when I try to put it in the repository. Shouldn't there be a single version of the .dsc and .diff.gz for all platforms? Is there any reason pbuilder is generating a new one, and/or is there a way to make it not do that? (I'm running pbuilder on lenny, if that's relevant... maybe I should try on a i386 sid machine.) Also, should I be signing the .dsc? Thanks! sage -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
