RFS: freeimage (updated package)

(Can't find any bug number for that) Does that mean I've asked an inappropriate question? I thought it was OK to ask here for general advice related to packaging. This may not be strictly Debian-specific, but I want to make sure the upstream package is consistent with Debian policies and practices. The first problem is that the translator tells me that the headings - NAME, SYNOPSIS, AUTHOR etc - which are generated by xmlto/xsltproc, didn't get translated. How can it be made to output localised versions? The XML file needs to contain book lang=en with en can be replaced by the two-letter ISO code for the language. Then docbook tools will use their internal translation from /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/common/es.xml (in the case of spanish). OK, thanks. Using po4a is recommended, as it uses translators work (gettext po files can then be used to translate this XML files, translations statistics/status, possibility to send translation calls...). http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/ I came across that while I was searching and thought it looked good. I'll suggest it to the translator and consider using it to support future translations, but as he's already worked on the XML files it might be easier for him to stick with that. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Include 0AD, a new fancy 3D RTS
Hi folks ! I intend to include a new promising game in Debian : 0AD [1]. I did a lot of work for the initial packaging on svn.debian.org [2], [3]. Packages are working and are lintian clean. The thing is the game needs to compile a few build-deps itself : - a specific version of spidermonkey - a library called fcollada - premake Premake is currently in new and should therefore enter Debian in the next few weeks. But for the other two build-deps, I don't really know what to do. Should I try and package them ? (I don't think I am able to package a library from scratch). Would the packages be accepted in main with these embeded build-deps ? Cheers, Bertrand PS I am subscribed to both list.

Hello, I can't say I have made a deep review - just compiled, tried the app and looked at some files. But I must say the app itself is very practical for any web (and not only web) designer. I would anyway not be able be sponsor since I'm not a DD, but I encourage DDs to not be fooled by the word simple in the motivation above, neither by the intrinsec simplicity that the color picker expression may suggest. This is in my opinion a well written and useful tool, worth a place in Debian. My 2 cents. @Elías: maybe the language and graphic libraries adopted don't deserve a place in the description. Instead, if I was in you I would ensure that the expression color theme appears in it, since that's a fundamental feature of the software. Moreover, there is a redundant space in the second line.

Help with uswsusp
Dear mentors, I am trying to update the current uswsusp package, created and maintained by Tim. Now the package has 83 bugs. I am trying to help. The new version is 0.9 (I have a lintian problem about the version number) and probably this new version closes some package bugs :-) (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=uswsusp) I try to review the bugs, but is not possible :-( because it need many time.
