Hey,

That sounds good.

 There is a fork, it's called clipit, but there were lots of changes
 occurring, and I thought that parcellite (after a few bugs were
 addressed) was just fine as it was. I don't mind simple features, but
 once it looks like klipper, what's the point?
 

Yes, clipit was the fork I was thinking of.  As pabs mentioned in a
separate email, clipit is currently its own package but there was talk
about replacing parcellite with it.

 My intent it to primarily bug fix/build fix, add bare essentials from
 time to time, and keep parcellite just as it is - but I've sent Andrew
 several emails and no response yet. I figured if he doesn't want to
 maintain it, I'll take over that part as well.
 
 How do I go about doing that?
 

As far as I can tell, the maintainer of parcellite is definitely active,
since he uploaded a version of parcellite 5 days ago[1].  I have CC'ed
Andrew, whom I hope will reply within a couple of days.
  If you want an active part in maintaining parcellite, your best option
right is to offer to become a co-maintainership.

RFS: pysolfc (replacement for removed package: pysol)

2011-03-11 Thread Bernhard Reiter
Hello mentors, 

I am looking for a sponsor for my package pysolfc.

* Package name: pysolfc
  Version : 2.0-1
* URL : http://pysolfc.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL
* Programming Lang: Python
* Description : A Python solitaire game collection

It builds the binary package: pysolfc

The package appears to be lintian and pbuilder clean. A previous version
has already been included in Ubuntu.

The upload would fix this bug: 519752

My motivation for maintaining this package is:
Its (unmaintained) predecessor pysol dropped out of debian a while ago;
pysolfc is considered one of the best versatile solitaire collections.
It is already part of Ubuntu, but I'd rather maintain it via Debian.

Package location(s):
- Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/pysolfc.git
- Git-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-games/pysolfc.git
- URL: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/pysolfc (with link to .dsc file)
- Games team queue: http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Sponsors/Queue

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

I've also prepared a transitional package pysol, found at:
- URL: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/pysol (with link to .dsc file)

There's also the supplementary pysolfc-cardsets (and transitional
pysol-cardsets) packages in the respective locations which I'd glady see
reviewed.

Kind regards,
Bernhard

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package java-xmlbuilder.

* Package name: java-xmlbuilder
  Version : 0.4-1
  Upstream Author : James Murty 
* URL : http://code.google.com/p/java-xmlbuilder/
* License : Apache-2.0
  Section : java

It builds these binary packages:
libjava-xmlbuilder-java - XML Builder Java library for creating XML
documents
libjava-xmlbuilder-java-doc - Documentation for XML Builder Java library
for creating XML documents

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 617526

My motivation for maintaining this package is: this package is a
dependency of jets3t (which currently bundles it) and of jclouds (yet to
be packaged). jets3t used by the Jenkins ec2 Plugin (which I intend to
package alongside Jenkins).

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

Looking for sponsor or mentor for package crtmpserver

2011-03-11 Thread Andriy Beregovenko
Hi,

I'm looking for sponsor or mentor to my package crtmpserver.

Here is ITP:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=617641
and package on mentors.debian.net:
http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=crtmpserver

In two words:
crmpserver is high performance streaming server. It support several
protocols family like: RTMP, RTSP/RTCP/RTP, MPEG-TS, plain flv publishing.
Also it is generic network platform, and creating custom protocols with it is
really easy. In future plans are implement next protocols: gearman(already
exist but not too clean, so not included yet), memcached, possible redis.
Also there is some implementation of RTMFP protocol, but still not clean.
This allow use crtmpserver as universal network media streaming platform.

Re: I'm the new developer on parcellite, but the debian maintainer for it hasn't responded

2011-03-11 Thread Doug Springer

Niels,
Thanks for getting back to me. The trouble with the packages is they are 
a bit old. Parcellite is on 1.0.1, and I think I've made things a little 
easier for any debian maintainter since I've fixed a few build problems 
regarding debian packages.  I've recently removed all the bogus 
dependencies (in svn trunk), since parcellite only needs GTK+.


I'd be glad to be a co-maintainer.  In order to do that I just have to 
ask?  Not sure the protocol here.  Thanks for everyone's patience.


Andrew, would you like for me to become a co-maintainer?  I wonder if it 
would be useful to maintain key files like control, changelog copyright 
(or copying) under SVN for parcellite?  I think I've killed most of 
those dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on xxx could be avoided if 
xxx were not uselessly linked against it in the trunk revision.  I've 
built an amd64 and a i386 deb package, so perhaps as a start (if you are 
willing) you could take a look at those and see what I did wrong/right?


Parcellite only needs to link against Gtk+, so that long list of 
dependencies can go away.


Kind Regards,
Doug Springer

uswsusp package

2011-03-11 Thread Rodolfo kix Garcia

Dear mentors,

this week suspend-utils 1.0 was released. Now includes support for KMS systems. 
I am updating the uswsusp from v0.8 to v1.0.

* Package name: uswsusp
* Version : 1.0
* URL : 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rafael/suspend-utils.git;a=tree
* License : GNU GPL
* Section : admin

The package can be found here:
- URL:http://www.kix.es/src/suspend-utils/debian/

The package has some minor errors about templates and others wishlist about 
minus sing in manpages. The errors about templates are because the splash 
package is not included in the stable dist (libsplash has problems) and I 
compiled the package without splash but I didn't remove the files for future 
usage.

This version solves these bugs:

uswsusp (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * New 1.0 version [Closes: #589743, #578496, #617534]
  * A lot of new machines.
[Closes: #552484, #576803, #528483]
[Closes: #495111, #595125, #486352, #433872, #590233]
  * A new length for addressing
[Closes: #550725, #549118]
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/3/377)
  * Support for Kernel Mode Set (KMS)
[Closes: #437094, #586674, #547158, #567604]
  * Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format
  * Compiled without splash support.
libsplash is not included in stable, many bugs.
  * Moved the manpage file suspend.conf.8 to manual section 5.
[Closes: #520705]

The package has many bugs yet (some are easy, some are duplicated, other have 
patches,...)

Kind regards.

The package has not been officially orphaned yet, so just taking over the

That said, your package contains a .git directory and seems to have been turned

RFS: udisks-glue

2011-03-11 Thread Fernando Lemos
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package udisks-glue.

* Package name: udisks-glue
  Version : 1.3.0-1
  Upstream Author : Fernando Tarlá Cardoso  Lemos fernando...@gmail.com
* URL : https://github.com/fernandotcl/udisks-glue
* License : 2-clause BSD
  Section : utils

It builds these binary packages:
udisks-glue - associates udisks events to user-configurable actions

The package is lintian pedantic clean, provides a decent manual page,
uses source format 3.0 (quilt) and has DEP-5 formatted copyright
(validated by libconfig-model-perl).

The upload would fix these bugs: 594746

My motivation for maintaining this package is: HAL is probably going
away sooner or later and so will tools that depend on it for
automounting and similar use cases will be gone as well (halevt,
ivman, etc.). udisks-glue can be a replacement for some uses of those
tools. It's actively developed upstream and has seen a few releases
already, with more planned. I'm upstream and I think others could
benefit from this package.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/udisks-glue
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free

 Yes, see DEP-5 http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/

 No
 
  or what.
 
 Fix and see if Lintian still complains, I don't know if
 current ones
 care much though.  What's the exact error message ?

 Please change bug 605299 from O to ITA as indicated in

Sorry but that was 605305, i'm wrong by put wrong bug in changelog and
fixed now

 Your entry in Vcs-Browser contained a superfluous space at the end.
 
 Please consider using collab-maint on alioth for hosting your package.
 See http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/PackagingProject for details.
 

Moved to collab-main now
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/gadmin-rsync.git

 You should add yourself to debian/copyright.
 
 Of the above, only the bug status was critical; I would have otherwise
 fixed the spacing, and use of collab-maint is not required.
 

Fixed and uploaded

Thanks!

Change source code will break translations

2011-03-11 Thread Mahyuddin Susanto
Hi,

I just found lintian complaints about typos in source code, but if i
change/fix it i will break many translations (~5 lines per language).

How can i do for it? make it override or just change it?

 Thanks, Nick, by the way, this is my first attempt at building a deb, and 
 since it's near the end of my spring break, it will probably be the last one 
 for a while.

Those tags are in the binary package, not the source package. See:
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/extra-license-file.html

It's saying that you are installing a license file into
usr/lib/icecat-2.6.15/LICENSE

Unless there is some clause in the license requiring that it be
present there, we usually use the debian/copyright files to be the one
source of all copyright information of a package. If your copyright
info is in debian/copyright, you don't have to install the COPYING,
LICENSE, and LICENSE.txt files at all.

something like dh_install -XLICENSE would do to make sure you aren't
installing it.

Cheers,
Scott
