Hi,

Nice, but not completely correct: it is named as a manpage for Qt: QT:(1),

your name as author of said manpage (and mentioning how you prepared it).

 i've corrected copyrigth

Okay now !

 and  build dependecies.

Ditto, it compiles. :-

 I think that the best option is to add conflicts with knm-runtime because
 there are so many troubles running network-manager-kde and wicd-daemon
 (actually a think they cannot run at the same time, i don't know why you
 can install both)

In fact, you can install both because there is no reason not to be able to.

For now, I'd find this situation satisfactory, yet not ideal: icons should 
be renamed on one side to avoid the conflict.

 I would be very gatetful if someone could review my package again and tell
 me something before i send a new request with update package in subject.

The patch you have made to fix the spelling errors still has some issues:

* You should incorporate DEP-3 headers to it. 
* You are renaming the informationsButton object into informationButton. 
Why that ? This will never appear in the GUI and will only be a source of 
errors, no ?
* You changed adress for address in the english source and in all po's, 
but it seems you made a quick search and replace. This has the following 
consequences:
 - in french, you substituted adresse for addresse, which is wrong
   (french adresse has one 'd')
 - You changed the source translations blindly (aka the translations are
   not marked fuzzy. How do you know that the non-plural form of
   Information is translated the same in chinese as its plural form ?

So I would say that both entagled part of the patch are wrong and I would 
simply drop it: the code change is too risky and the i18n label change is 
done too blindly.

Just convince upstream to release a fixed version. :-)

Using Quilt with a new package

2010-11-02 Thread Daniel Lombraña González
Dear all,

I'm creating a new deb package for the software Jarifa (
http://jarifa.unex.es), and  I'm wondering when I should use quilt and
git-buildpackage to modify
at least as possible the upstream version of Jarifa files. Let me
explain. Jarifa has a SQL file that by default creates the DB in
MySQL. Nevertheless, in the deb package this is managed by
dbconfig-common, so I have to remove the instruction of creating the
DB in the SQL file. Right now I have done this, by creating a new git
repository and modify the source code by hand.

After that, I kept reading about git-buildpackage and it seems that it
should be more easy to maintain those differences between the upstream
version and the deb one using patches. However, I don't know how I
have to do this, as I have been trying it out, and as far as I have
get is to create the debian/patches folder (using gbp-pq) with a patch
that removes that instruction. However, when building the package
using git-buildpackage in the master branch (not in
patch-queue/master) the resulting package does not have applied the
patch, which is wrong. Is it possible to apply automatically those
patches when building the package? (FYI I have tried the 3.0 version,
and I don't get it working either, probably because I'm doing
something wrong).

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Python-Support private/public modules

2010-11-02 Thread Daniel Stender
Hi guys,

please excuse if this one would have belonged to a Python mailing list but 
maybe somebody here could
help me out (rookie question?):

packing a Python application here by default 
Debhelper(8)/Python-Support(1.0.10) treat all the
modules as being public and so put them into /usr/share/pyshared.

When I add a file debian/install containing lib usr/share/foo then there are 
again the public
modules and a *copy* of all of them being private (as it should be). Thus two 
lists exists then,
python-support/foo.private *and* python-support/foo.public.

How can I get all the stuff private exlusively?

Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Daniel

Yeah, there is a debian-python mailing list (and IRC channel) for the
Python teams which are good places to get Python-packaging help.

 When I add a file debian/install containing lib usr/share/foo

Instead of doing that, pass the --install-lib option to setup.py.

e.g. for dh7:

dh_auto_install -- --install-lib /usr/share/foo

RFS: libclanlib2.2

2010-11-02 Thread Givors Fabien
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package libclanlib2.2.

* Package name: libclanlib2.2
  Version : 2.2.4-1.4
  Upstream Author : The ClanLib Team deb...@clanlib.org
* URL : http://clanlib.org/
* License : BSD style licence
  Section : libs

It builds these binary packages:
libclanlib2.2 - ClanLib 2.2 game SDK runtime
libclanlib2.2-dev - ClanLib 2.2 game SDK development files
libclanlib2.2-doc - Reference documentation and tutorials for ClanLib 2.2

The package appears to be lintian clean.
The package appears to build cleanly with pbuilder on amd64.

The upload would fix these bugs: 570884

My motivation for maintaining this package is:
- I've used this library for developing small programs (games) and have
some programming abilities in the language it's written in (C++)
- I've been in touch with the developers for half a year now, they are
really active and provides useful support.
- There are users of this muti-platform library. But Debian users often
choose the old 1.0 deprecated version since the newer 2.2 is not
packaged yet (bug 570884).
- I'd like to get more experience in package creation / maintenance
(this is my first package).

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libclanlib2.2
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libclanlib2.2/libclanlib2.2_2.2.4-1.4.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards

Please fix this, it's quite simple. Your changelog should contain an
entry (and generally only that entry) that says something like
Initial release (Closes #1234) where 1234 is the number of the ITP
bug report you filed in the BTS.

It would be better to fix this. Just grep the source for

the spelling mistake so that you can drop that patch in future
releases.

Removing duplicated library code (was: RFS: hotot)

 Please also use the JQuery library from libjs-jquery instead of an

Yes. Note that this is a Debian policy mandate (§4.13, “Convenience
copies of code”):

If the included code is already in the Debian archive in the form of
a library, the Debian packaging should ensure that binary packages
reference the libraries already in Debian and the convenience copy
is not used.

You'll need to patch the package to remove the duplicated code, and use
the existing Debian package for jQuery. It would be good if you could
then try to convince the upstream developers to make a similar change to
remove the duplicated code from future versions.

Ideally, in a pleasant conversation with upstream, your patch will then
be accepted and the next upstream version will not duplicate the jQuery
library. More realistically, they won't see the point, and you will need
to maintain your patch in Debian indefinitely. But it's important to
try to reduce the problem at its origin.

 For now, I'd find this situation satisfactory, yet not ideal: icons should

There is a big issue with the icons thing, i'll quote the author's response:

---
Unfortunately I can't do this, because I use the same name scheme as knm on
purpose. Let me explain the situation:
- That name scheme is the one used by monochromatic icons on KDE4.5.x. There
is no way to have control over it. So if I want the application to use those
monochromatic icons, I have to use that name scheme.
Now the tricky part:
- The monochromatic icon set is shipped in kdebase-runtime as part of the
Air desktop theme.
- network-wired.png (has to be used because is has a monochromatic
equivalent) is shipped in oxygen-icons.
- All the other icons are shipped with knm.
To sum up: The monochromatic icons are meant to be used with one and only
one icon (well at least one icon name), but monochromatic icons + normal
icons are dispatched in 3 different kde parts (I don't know how I should
call them), and one of this parts is an application on its own (knm), so
not generic. I hope you understand my explaination ;)
My plan was to get in touch with the knm guys eventually, to try to have all
the icons in one place, but I haven't yet. But even if it happens, I doubt
it will happen tomorrow, if you know what I mean...

So i guess that the best option is to comunicate with kde-devel team to see
if it's posible to provide those icons with oxygen-icon-theme instead that
with knm-runtime.  We'll see that.  But now i just want to keep correcting
the package and see if i can do something that it worths, so i'll keep
conflicts: knm-runtime for the present time.


 The patch you have made to fix the spelling errors still has some issues:

 * You should incorporate DEP-3 headers to it.
 * You are renaming the informationsButton object into
 informationButton.
 Why that ? This will never appear in the GUI and will only be a source of
 errors, no ?
 * You changed adress for address in the english source and in all po's,
 but it seems you made a quick search and replace. This has the following
 consequences:
  - in french, you substituted adresse for addresse, which is wrong
   (french adresse has one 'd')
  - You changed the source translations blindly (aka the translations are

 So I would say that both entagled part of the patch are wrong and I would

Non-DD review:

1) An earlier version of this package is already in Debian. I think
you really should (probably must) talk with the previous maintainers.
You can see if they'd be willing to have you as a co-maintainer or to
be main maintainer as part of the debian games team. This is important
because they already maintain the package libclanlib-dev, which might
be confusing to your users (since it points to the old library).

Additionally, the original maintainers probably would not want to add
a new version of their library into unstable during freeze. This would
be a good time to plan out how you'd like to release it after squeeze.

2) Your package also closes bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570884, it would be
good close it in your changelog.

3) You are using source format 3.0 (quilt). The quilt dependency and
debian/readme.source are not needed

4) The patch in debian/series/patches is missing a description. See  DEP-3 [1]

5) Consider formatting the debian/copyright per DEP-5 [2]. No really
required to do, but if making a new package it won't hurt.

6) You don't list yourself as an uploader. (something you have to work
out with previous maintainers)

7) From a Debian-games team perspective, you should use a vcs [3].
(libclanlib is already in the debian games svn, but you can talk to
previous maintainers if you want to start a new repo for the new
library version)

8) From the changelog, this isn't a NMU but either a new package or a
Team upload [4]. Again, talk with the current maintainers about how to
handle this.

9) lintian report is below. All of them should be fixable, but one in
particular is probably needed: W: libclanlib2.2:
package-name-doesnt-match-sonames. You should probably create separate
binary packages for the libraries they mentioned below, and name them
accordingly (e.g. libclan22GL1-2.2-1, libclan22MikMod-2.2-1, etc.).
This way users (and depending applications) will only depend on the
exact library they need and not have to pull in all your libraries. Of
course the -dev package would depend on all of those additional
binaries. This is something to check with the original maintainers (or
the debian games team).

dalle  - File management tool

The upload would fix these bugs : 599851

My motivation for maintaining this package is: This program join and
extract files from a variety of formats (mainly small programs file
splitters for Windows), so you can use this archives from Linux.
(Note: I'm the original author of dalle)

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:

Whoo ! Many thanks for the review. I already learned many things just
reading it :)

For now, I'll try to fix the issues you spotted and to contact the
maintainers of the previous lib.

Re: Using Quilt with a new package

It seems like you could simply get upstream to split installation
instructions out into README.install or similar and not have to worry
about patching systems.
