 Not quite, DEB_HOST_ARCH_BITS is what you need.  See also the thread

I remember the answers which were given in the thread I started. But
this variable returns the BITS (at least this is the name of it) and I
need information about POINTERS. 

Hope this makes the question more clear and thanks for the hint anyway

Re: RFS: fmodapi4.26

 library's filename). I know your package lacks a SONAME, but you  can
 add one like the enet package does. their binary makes a library  with
 the SONAME libenet.so.0debian1, so their binary package  is
 libenet0debian1 and their source package name is enet.

 Didn't know that it was possible to add the SONAME to an existing
 library! I'll have a look at it.

Sorry - I forgot about the non-free license. The license does not
explicitly allow modification, so you will have to use lintian
overrides and explain that the license does not allow you to fix the
SONAME issue. And since they only distribute pre-compiled libraries,
it would be difficult/impossible to change it.

Cheers,
Scott

  UTF-8 is a superset of ASCII, so everything is all right according

 What would you suggest to me for determining encodings? Something like enca

 be useful in these cases?

The method of Lintian (in /usr/share/lintian/lib/Util.pm, function
file_is_encoded_in_non_utf8) is to apply

iconf -f utf-8 -t utf-8 filename

and evaluate the presence of an error, which then proves non-UTF-8
to be at hand.

Re: RFS: pidgin-latex

2011-01-13 Thread Elías Alejandro
Hi all,
recently a new upstream version was released (24 hours)
I've just packaged.

 I am looking for a sponsor for my package pidgin-latex.

 * Package name    : pidgin-latex
  Version         : 1.4.3-1
  Upstream Author : Benjamin Moll q...@users.sourceforge.net
 * URL             : http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin-latex/
 * License         : GPL-2
  Section         : net

 It builds these binary packages:
 pidgin-latex - Pidgin plugin to display LaTeX formula

 The package appears to be lintian clean.

 The upload would fix these bugs: 520658, 609723

 My motivation for maintaining this package is: usefull
 plugin to show our math formulas for pidgin


The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pidgin-latex
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pidgin-latex/pidgin-latex_1.4.4-1.dsc

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


Kind regards

Elías Alejandro

RFR: webalizer - web server log analysis program

2011-01-13 Thread Julien Viard de Galbert
Dear mentors and mentees,

I am looking for reviews for my package webalizer

The previous maintainer Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) agreed that
I take over the package, also as he his really busy and this package
will be targeting experimental (due to the freeze) I'd like the package
to be really polished before asking him for sponsorship.

My packaging work is currently on collab-maint:
 http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/webalizer.git;a=summary

I already got the help of Pim van den Berg on the logio patch.
So more attention is needed on other patches especially the TTF patch
and the gettext patches.

Any comment on general packaging are also appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Uh, don't be so mean :-)
There's `wrap-and-sort` from ubuntu-dev-tools-0.108, which is IMHO a
great tool to deal with such inconveniences.

  - is there a simple way to disable automatic updates of the extension, which

Automatic updates are automatically deactivated for extensions which are
not in a write-able location (from the browser's POV) as it's the case
with extensions from Debian packages.

Thanks for considering sponsoring this package,

I do not understand the question, whether due to the patch, this

practice and is in unstable

    go through NEW anyway, which will take a while
 
 Sure, the intention was to upload to experimental due to the freeze,
 if this does not affect I can make the switch to unstable :)

It's most likely that it won't get through NEW before the freeze is over,
so I would target unstable and save a second upload later.

   - is there a simple way to disable automatic updates of the extension, 
  which
    might fail because it's installed system-wide and the user can't update
    it?
 
 I do not understand the question, whether due to the patch, this
 affects only after an upgrade, as it shows a new browser window
 showing the changelog from the upstream site, this is annoying for
 users, I have another package (downloadstatusbar) where I do the same
 practice and is in unstable

It's ok, you can ignore this.

 The date was mentioned in an email I got from the upstream developer.
 AFAIK there is no other evidence for it. I could ask him to include it
 in a later release.

Ok, please do this and in the meantime, write to ftpmasters with a copy of
the email so they don't just click 'reject' (I don't know whether it will
be a problem or not, but it might save going round the queue again).

   - there is some trailing whitespace on one line of debian/control and one

 Uh, don't be so mean :-)
 There's `wrap-and-sort` from ubuntu-dev-tools-0.108, which is IMHO a
 great tool to deal with such inconveniences.

Wow, that's a nice tool indeed. Thanks for the pointer.

I assume that ubuntu-dev-tools might have some other useful stuff for
Debian, but it seems rather unknown and unadvertised.

Is there something like a HOWTO use ubuntu-dev-tools in Debian or
could someone write a short intro (on the Debian wiki maybe)?
 

Cheers,
gregor

  I'll happily sponsor this package, but please clear up a couple of minor

 DEP-5 also reached candidate status recently, which means it is ready for
 adoption, so please update your debian/copyright file to match (see
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/01/msg0.html)
 
 

I've corrected the comments and I uploaded the package

RFS: git

2011-01-13 Thread Jonathan Nieder
Hi mentors,

Another week, another -rc (1:1.7.4~rc2-0.1).  I sent an RFS for -rc0
two weeks ago; this is just a followup.  The target distribution of
this proposed NMU is experimental.

It builds these binary packages:
git- fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
git-all- fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (all subpacka
git-arch   - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (arch interop
git-core   - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (obsolete)
git-cvs- fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (cvs interope
git-daemon-run - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system 
(git-daemon s
git-doc- fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (documentatio
git-email  - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (email add-on
git-gui- fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (GUI)
git-man- fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (manual pages
git-svn- fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (svn interope
gitk   - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (revision tre
gitweb - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (web interfac

The upload would fix these bugs: 465776, 466471, 499002, 507476, 524309,
540001, 576887, 577471, 578752, 581691, 583699, 585725, 588103, 598245, 600566,
600785, 606975, 607044.

Aside from the new upstream version --- which is the motivation --- this
brings some cleanups suggested by lintian and adds a new architecture-
independent git-man package so the documentation processing toolchain
does not have to run on autobuilders (nor on private machines when
testing with debian/rules binary-arch BUILD_DOCS=).

Gerrit is on vacation (see debian-private).  With your help the new
upstream version could get some testing from users of experimental
before it releases.

The package can be found in the usual places:
- git://repo.or.cz/debian-git/jrn.git proposed-updates
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/git/git_1.7.4~rc2-0.1.dsc

I would be glad for any thoughts you have.

Regards,
Jonathan
