Package scripts shouldn't ever mess directly with files in homedirs.
It's fine that the packaged application itself may create user
configuration and may even remove user configuration, but the
packaging must not. It's simply a fact of life that if you install
some packaged application and run it, and then uninstall that
application later, you're likely to have cruft in your home
directory.

Bug#583501: ITA: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome -- display driver for VIA Unichrome video chipsets
retitle 583501 ITA: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome -- display driver for VIA Unichrome video chipsets owner 583501 ! thanks Hi, I have working hardware and some time to give to debian. I already did some bug triage, but some are related to the more recent Chrome9 family of chipset. I think a more recent package using upstream trunk can help sorting those bugs (if ever the submitters dare to try a new package). Also as squeeze is frozen, an experimental package is probably preferred. I've setup a git working place including debian's git and upstream svn. It looks like the experimental branches have not been updated for long. The upstream-experimental will merge nicely, but the debian-experimental branch has kind of diverged... Should I merge it (using some git revert if needed first), or can I just restart it from the debian-unstable branch ? This does not look like good git practice, except if you look at experimental like a wip branch. How are other doing ? Finally I'm not DD (nor DM) so I will need help, review and sponsoring, I hope some of you will have time for that.

Woops, I should have been more careful..
The changes in the sources should be documented in README.Debian-source, not
README.Debian, my bad, sorry.
Additionaly, the purpose of this file is that if someone takes over the
maintenance of the package later, to be able to build a new tarball from the
original sources of, say, a new release.
So, I believe you should add more than the current:
This (dfsg) clean version of this package was produce by replacing all
the wav and jpeg files included in the original upstream source.
If I would be taking the package, I would like to know what are exactly the
file that have been changed, what was the license that was not DFSG and where
did you get the new files.
That way, if a new upstream release happen, I can check if the licence has
changed, and if not get the files you have used..
Also, lintian gives me the following warning:
W: marave: extra-license-file
usr/share/pyshared/marave/editor/highlight/LICENSE
N:
N:All license information should be collected in the debian/copyright
N:file. This usually makes it unnecessary for the package to install this
N:information in other places as well.
N:
N:Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 12.5 (Copyright information) for
N:details.
N:
N:Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
dpkg -L marave also gives me this file which I think should be removed:
/usr/share/pyshared/marave/editor/highlight/AUTHORS
During the build, i see:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package marave: unknown substitution
variable ${shlibs:Depends}
- Your package does not ship any binary arch-specific files (hence it is a
Arch:all package), you do not need shlibs:Depends
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Provides field of package marave: unknown
substitution variable ${python:Provides}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package marave: unused substitution variable
${python:Versions}
- You should check these fields with the Python Policy.
Appart from this, the package builds and runs ok.
I would recommend to fix the mentioned issues and also to check against the
latest python policy for the two python-specific fields.
More generaly, the ususal advice for python-related sponsorship is to ask the
python maintainers. However, this is not necessary for this time but next
time, you might ask them.
You might as well put the package under team maintenance with the future
uploads, this makes it much more easy for both you and them :-)
Romain
PS: by the way, marave, in France, is an argotic word from the Gipsy culture
whose meaning is totally different to nothing or it doesn't matter :-)
