Re: git-buildpackage, dfsg-clean branches, tarballs and non-distributable files
Le 22/10/11 14:36, Jan-Pascal van Best a écrit : My questions are: - the debian/rules get-orig-source target is supposed to build the dfsg tarball from the canonical upstream source location. That is, NOT from my own dfsg branch. Which is a bit weird. How do other people handle that situation? git-buildpackage could create the dfsg tarball from a tag in the dfsg branch, but this is not exactly the same as the thing the get-orig-source target does. Yes, the idea of the get-orig-source target, as I understand it, is to enable someone else to replicate what you did do to create the upstream source tree. Basically, it should fetch the source from upstream (as a tarball or using git or whatever), then delete the problematic files, then create a tarball. This target is not used in everyday life, it is just a way of documenting how the dfsg package relates to upstream.

However, I would like to know first if you could update to move it into Debian Science. I could; however I tried to register a project for it (as well as projects for my other packages: wcslib, cpl, esorex, python-cpl), and I got the reply that I am not allowed since I am not a Debian developer and these packages are not in Debian yet. You don't need to be a DD to access to alioth and the VCS. http://debian-science.alioth.debian.org/debian-science-policy.html and use one of the debian science VCS (svn or git) http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debian-science/ This is a bit confusing: the second URL you mention doesn't forward to a repository (selection) but to the project homepage -- and the project homepage links to the Debian Science homepage which is not really helpful for beginners (at least, I am lost on this page). You have to join this project to get access to the VCS. where it is unclear for me what should I start to down- or upload. I first tried git clone git+ssh://olebole-gu...@git.debian.org/git/debian-science It is not a git repository. For example, git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/ann.git is a valid git repository. If you want to create a new repo, you will have to connect yourself to git.debian.org and use the script in the debian science directory. Another question: The science policy requires that I shall put debian-science-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org as the Maintainer and my own name as Uploader. But AFAIK the uploader will be replaced by the Sponsor, so my own contribution authorship is not anymore visible in the final Debian package? If I don't make any changes to your package, I usually leave the name in the changelog author. Otherwise, it is shown in the content itself with [ ] around. Anyway, the name of the uploader is still shown.

Also, PEAR package are team maintained, it'd be great if you join the packaging project on Alioth, and set the Maintainer: field as the list (and you just as Uploaders:). 1/ debian/compat Please use compatibility level 7 at least, and probably 8 would be even better, since the package has never been in Debian. 2/ CDBS Could you please switch your package to use the dh 8 short style, and pkg-php-tools instead of CDBS? 3/ debian/copyright Your copyright file is completely wrong. That alone is enough to reject your package, unfortunately. First of all, you should put the full of the PHP license 3.01 in it. Second, it'd be great if you could use the DEP5 format: dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ I didn't check your other package, since I am guessing it will have the same issues. Please let us review one package at a time, and once that one is ok, we can move to the 2nd one. 4/ debian/control There's no home page field.
