RFS: pstotext
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.9-5 of the package pstotext. I already have a private agreement with the current maintainer jdas...@debian.org that I will take over the package, but he does not seem to be available to sponsor the package. Package was RFA since 8.6.2010 and I sent my public ITA announcement on 15.6.2010 (#585061). It builds this binary package: pstotext - Extract text from PostScript and PDF files The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 289097, 539671, 585061, 586914 of which I consider 539671 and 586914 urgent.

On the Bazaar version at Alioth.
Hello all, I have recently been convinced to migrate a package maintenance to a Bazaar repository at Alioth. The transfer itself was conducted from a testing/squeeze system, and succeeded with some advice from the previous maintainer. I had a glimps of it already, during my first steps with Bazaar, but now I observe that the version jump of Bazaar in Lenny, Testing, and Alioth is so steep that a Lenny based system can not collect content from bzr.debian.org. Is this in order, or should there be some sort of notice to developers, or the general public about this? After all, the Bazaar location is made public in the control file. Is the time lapse until Squeeze so short that this matter deserves no action at all?

Re: On the Bazaar version at Alioth.
I assume you meant bzr as bazaar was removed from Debian after etch. Sounds like NEWS.Debian is missing an entry about the incompatible network changes, presumably those came in 2.0. You might want to file a bug about that. backports.org has bzr 2.0.3. I'd suggest asking the alioth admins about this topic: http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth#Maintenance One could argue that packagers are expected to be building and testing on sid so they should have the needed version of bzr. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: RFS: subversion (updated package) [lenny-backports, 1.6.12dfsg-1~bpo50+2]
Hi Michael, Just a couple comments based on the changelog, I haven't looked at the packages. subversion (1.6.12dfsg-1~bpo50+2) lenny-backports; urgency=medium * Rebuild for lenny-backports. * Disable ra_serf, need a newer version than the one in lenny. How about backporting a newer serf instead so you don't have to lose the functionality? As long as the build dependencies and dependencies are versioned properly (and you know they already are) then everything will just work at build time and run time. The BPO buildd's are also smart enough to deal with it. It looks like it backports cleanly with no changes. (BTW if you run into a reason why the package doesn't build or run because it needs a versioned build-dep/dep to the backport and also file a bug on the package to have it added) * Build-depend on libdb4.6-dev, suggest db4.6-util. * Build-depend on openjdk-6-jdk instead of gcj-jdk. * Depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless instead of gij. I think these probably make more sense than trying to backport all that stuff (assuming everything still works OK with the older versions). * control: Fix version control URLs.

Re: RFS: presage
Wouldn't it be better to merge your patches upstream and release a new version?
I'm not sure if debian/patches/fix-shlib-calls-exit.patch is correct,
shouldn't you replace exit(1) with return 1?
debian/patches/version-shared-library-symbols.patch only seems to
patch generated files.
Is it a good idea to install documentation in latex format as well as
HTML? I would have thought that HTML would be enough for everyone who
wants to read the documentation.
You might also want to push presage into distributions like
OpenEmbedded/SHR, which are used on phones like the OpenMoko
Freerunner.
I don't think every package needs to install THANKS, NEWS.gz,
README.gz, TODO.gz, AUTHORS since some of them will be automatically
installed.
/usr/share/presage/python_binding.txt doesn't look like it needs to be
installed in python-presage, nor libpresage-doc.
resources/presage.png indicates it was generated by inkscape but I
don't see the SVG source code for it.
What is the point of installing /var/lib/presage in libpresage-data?
Only root can modify files there and I doubt root will be using
presage.
Should the symbols file not be more specific about which symbols are present?
I could be wrong, but I don't think the -dev package needs to
explicitly depend on libc6-dev.
libpresage-doc uses /usr/share/doc/presage-doc rather than
/usr/share/doc/libpresage-doc to store the docs, which is slightly
confusing.
The manual pages in the
presage/presage-gprompter/presage-pyprompter/python-presage packages
mention that the full documentation is available in info format, but
no info format documentation is installed.
What do you think about merging presage/presage-gprompter/presage-pyprompter?
/usr/share/presage/getting_started.txt probably belongs in
/usr/share/doc/presage/
Remaining warnings:
pyversions: missing XS-Python-Version in control file, fall back to

The patch provided by #586769 makes sense and is innocent enough. 1) Please, communicate all of these debian/patches upstream in whatever manner (the general aim, in the long run, is to share and merge with upstream, and not to diverge developing in debian/patches), and if any of them would not be accepted upstream for whatever reason it would make sense reflect that in their headers. thanks for the advice, just sent an email to the upstream informing about patches in the package and asking for their comments and suggestions. I will keep you informed of response. :) Good. 2) 'DM-Upload-Allowed: yes' is set by whoever sponsor, though in your case it would make sense, but don't be that helpful ;-) Why not? all my packages with DM Upload Allowed are in better shape that others :P I think it's helpful for small issues and changes (and why not, maybe urgent issues) I'm not claiming that you won't get DMUA=y and I know how useful it is ;-) However, as cited at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer cite The DM-Upload-Allowed: yes control field should be set by the sponsor (or by the sponsoree after a request from the sponsor), not silently added by the sponsoree without coordination with the usual sponsor. The field should only added to a source package after the sponsor is satisfied with the sponsoree's ability to handle that specific package, usually this happens after several good-quality uploads. /cite So far, there is only one upload done by me and one by another DD and it seems you are capable to maintain that package yourself alone, thus let us track your record for few more successful uploads, then we will eventually ask you to set DMUA=y or set that ourselves as well. It is not that a big deal, but the whole thing is running on procedures, so in general we are better following them as well, unless we have some very good reasons to dispute on changing them. To summarize: don't get chocked if DMUA=y gets removed by a sponsor, and re- added back after few more uploads. Also, don't get amazed if your sponsors screen how you are following the procedures ;-) -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Please review at your leisure.
A new version of debian-policy has been recently released, please read
upgrading.txt from it and make any changes required.
Please send the manual page upstream if you haven't already.
There are some non-free files to remove from the source package:
marave/backgrounds/Winter Landscape Classic.jpg
marave/backgrounds/Dutch winter landscape.jpg
marave/backgrounds/Landscape with sky.jpg
marave/clicks/thozi_daCLick.wav
marave/clicks/adriantnt_u_click.wav
marave/clicks/adriantnt_r_plastic.wav
marave/clicks/BEEP1A.WAV
marave/clicks/BEEP1B.WAV
marave/clicks/BEEP1C.WAV
marave/clicks/CLICK10A.WAV
marave/clicks/SERVO1A.WAV
Please note that you should add a get-orig-source target to
debian/rules that will create an appropriate orig.tar.gz without the
non-free stuff from upstream. In addition the upstream version number
needs +dfsg1 appended in debian/changelog. Alternatively, ask upstream
to remove them and make a new release.
debian/copyright lists the wrong license for the images, they are
CC-BY-2.0, CC-BY-NC-2.0 and CC-BY-SA-NC-2.0, all of which are
non-free. CC 3.0 licenses are ok, except for the NC and ND versions.
marave/backgrounds/118222-Just_Green_Curls.svgz is GPL but the SVG
contains a massive embedded PNG file. I seriously doubt that it could
be considered source code, so distributing it is probably a GPL
violation.
The icons are supposedly from the Reinhardt SVG icon set. It would be
best to package that separately and depend on it.
It might be a good idea to enable syntax highlighting, do you know if
that is possible in Debian?
