Re: RFS: Planner (orphan package)
Thanks for the answers! Unfortunately, I ran into an issue - possibly upstream -, which worries me a bit: I have a .planner file, created with an older version (whatever version is in Ubuntu Lucid), which doesn't load correctly with the updated package. By doesn't load correctly, I mean that there is no error message, neither on stderr, nor elsewhere, but the chart doesn't display. If I recompile the version in Debian to get rid of the python << 2.7 conflict, that can load the file, and display the Gantt chart correctly, but your prepared version can't. Sadly, I cannot share the planner file (it's company stuff), so I'll try to prepare a sample that exhibits the same problem, without the sensitive information. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, about the README, the previous maintainer included it, and the url of the upstream's bug tracker is there, but that is not very useful, so I agree, it will be excluded from the binary packages ASAP.

This is why I think packaging it at all is possibly a bad idea since people running Debian stable/oldstable will always have old information.

Looks like packaging this software requires skills that I don't have. I
can't reprosuce your crash on my unstable/amd64.
Indeed, it doesn't seem to crash on amd64.
Have no idea where to go with that, but don't want to give up early.

The -V option of dpkg-gencontrol is what you seek, in this case. You can
do something like the following (assuming short-form dh7+):
override_dh_gencontrol:
dh_gencontrol -- -VVTK_VERSION=$(shell ...)
Then in debian/control, you can use
Provides: libactiviz.net${VTK_VERSION}-cil
Just figure out a better way to get the version than the apt-cache
policy parsing.
If not using short-form dh7+, have a look at the dpkg-gencontrol manpage
(and dh_gencontrol, if using debhelper long form).

Right now it would be something like:
Package: libactiviz.net-cil
Provides: libactiviz.net${`apt-cache policy libvtk5-dev | grep
Installed | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d- -f1`}-cil
Of course I am not looking for "Installed version" per say, but the
idea is there: I need to compute the soversion of a package from
another package version. This would allow me to request binNMU instead
of doing source upload modifying one number in d/control.

My suggestion was that you don't ship a default config file at all, and only offer the debconf-based configuration if one does not exist. If one exists, that means that it's either been generated already (thus, upgrades won't destroy, or even touch the file), or that the admin wrote one.

Having mentors.d.n aware of packaging teams
Hi, Numerous times, I've seen people post their RFS requests for software that should be looked over by some packaging teams. Fore example, PHP or PEAR modules, python libraries, etc. It'd be really great if mentors.d.n was aware of the different packaging team, and was kindly telling about it when uploading a new package. For example, debExpo could look at the proposed package name, and be smart enough to tell that an RFS for a php-* package should be directed to the PKG-PHP team, a python-* to the python team, etc. I wouldn't have the time to implement it, but that would really be a great feature!

Perhaps instead you could add a simple utility to make a master config file out of several snippets in a directory. I think quite a few packages do that.

Note, you are not allowed to modify a conffile at any time. When using a debhelper any file your package installs in /etc is automatically marked as conffile. As such, you must not touch it (§ 10.7.3) at all, nor is any other package or configuration program allowed to touch it. If you want to modify the configuration of your package at installation time, you can do so by creating a configuration file your program expects _at installation time_ in the maintainer script but it must not be part of the package itself.

I was not able to find the place I changed log entry for 0.0.4-1.
How can I show this with debdiff?
With something like:
$ apt-get source jabber-querybot/unstable
$ dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/jabber-querybot/jabber-querybot_0.0.5.1-1.dsc
$ debdiff jabber-querybot_0.0.{4,5.1}-1.dsc | grep -A 10
'jabber-querybot (0.0.4-1)'
- you have to cleanup after the faulty postinst that reached the
archive in jabber-querybot 0.0.4-1 (and I plea guilty for this). If
you just "drop" the postinst without making sure the symlink that it
added is properly removed, then it will end up with that situation:
So you probably need a "preinst" that checks the version you are
upgrading from, tests the symlink and removes it in case it still
exists. Then, at unpacking phase, the correct Querymodule.pm file
will get unpacked at its correct place.
I just fixed this and added d/preinst:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/jabber-querybot/jabber-querybot_0.0.5.1-1.dsc
Quoting myself extensively in the preinst is not needed. Additionally,
you forgot the "checks the version you are upgrading from" in the
postinst. The advantage of doing this explicitely is that the code gets
run once for each user and then can be removed in the unstable version
when jabber-querybot reaches stable (as users are mandated to upgrade
from stable to stable releases...). See
http://wiki.debian.org/MaintainerScripts for clear graphs.
IMHO, the check you are doing in the preinst is not sufficient; what if
Random Joe has set up a symlink named
"/etc/jabber-querybot/Querymodule.pm" that points to his user directory
(for whatever reason)? Then with this preinst, you are not preserving
his changes. So you have to test if the user is both "upgrading"
(information is in $1) and is doing so from a version smaller than
0.0.5.1-1 (as it's the first version that introduces the fix)
(information is in $2). Then, to be on the safe side, you also have to
check that the symlink you want to remove indeed points to the place you
had setup in the faulty postinst. In that case only you can safely
remove the symlink.
If both this and the changelog issue are fixed properly, then I will
upload. :->

OdyX

RFS: pysolfc (replacement for removed package: pysol)
Hello mentors, I am still looking for a sponsor for my package "pysolfc", which has been around for a while. I've polished it some more, so it shouldn't be too hard to review. * 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 To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/pysolfc Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pysolfc/pysolfc_2.0-1.dsc 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. Other relevant location(s): - Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/pysolfc.git - Git-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-games/pysolfc.git I would be glad if someone sponsored this package for me. I've also prepared a transitional package pysol, found at: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/pysol - dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pysol/pysol_10.dsc There are also supplementary cardsets packages in the following locations which I'd glady see reviewed: pysolfc-cardsets: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/pysolfc-cardsets - dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pysolfc-cardsets/pysolfc-cardsets_2.0+dfsg-1.dsc - Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/pysolfc-cardsets.git - Git-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-games/pysolfc-cardsets.git pysol-cardsets (transitional): - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/pysol-cardsets - dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pysol-cardsets/pysol-cardsets_10.dsc Kind regards, Bernhard PS: Please CC me when replying to this message! signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Dear Joseph, I'm not sure I'm getting the gist of your suggestion; do you mean the use of /etc/mypackage/conf.d/ or some such? I'm afraid this would require some heavy patching of the upstream code for reading configuration files.

I'd like to propose two other options:
One would be to come with a sensible default, if possible, and just not
touch the config file from the maintainer scripts. The sysadmin can then
either edit the file by hand, or use your configuration tool.
In case a sensible default is not possible, then ship without a config
file, and offer to generate one based on debconf answers if the file
does not exist.
This way, you don't have to deal with the issue at all, and the
configuration tool can still remain useful.

Hi! Am 23.11.2011 09:18, schrieb Dennis van Dok: > My question is whether this method sufficiently implements the policy, > or if there are other ways to go about it. Hmmm... I'm not entirely sure about this. But you might want to look at the ucf utility and it's usage in maintainer scripts. The workflow would basically be, that you call debconf and your script, but not instantly replace the configuration file, but save it in into a temporary file. Then you call ucf, which either replaces the configuration file, if it hasn't been changed, or asks the administrator what to do (including an option to show a diff between the files).

I am not a mentor, but i'll chime in anyway. A popular way of accomplishing the task is to support "configuration subdirectories" It includes all "configuration files" in that directory. If you publish a name that you will _never_ use then people can add that one "as they wish".

More details are available in the comments on the package page. I decided, that it might be more convenient if I included my comments here as well. The embedded JS library was copied by sphinx documentation generation system, but it seems that brave Debian Developers have addressed this with creation of dh_sphinxdocs. I updated the package to use it and fixed some other problems with documentation (added a doc-base control file, removed documentation source files from the binary package) I also addressed most of the issues that lintian --pedantic raised as indicated in the mail from Alex Mestiashvili. Specifically: P: mydumper source: unneeded-build-dep-on-quilt - this has been not dealt with, the main reason being that I want to ease backporting the package to lenny P: mydumper source: unversioned-copyright-format-uri http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5 - the format is set to deb5 revision 174 in the package I uploaded today I: mydumper: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/myloader commiting committing - I patched the source and sent the patch to upstream X: mydumper: duplicate-files * - CMakeLists.txt for documentation included rules for installation of *.rst sources. Created a patch to fix that. W: mydumper: embedded-javascript-library usr/share/doc/mydumper/html/_static/underscore.js - fixed with dh_sphinxdoc I: mydumper: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration - created a doc-base control file also a local run of lintian --pedantic complains about: P: mydumper: no-upstream-changelog The reason for not including the upstream changelog is that upstream does not provide a changelog. I think I could generate one from bzr, but I'm not sure that is necessary and/or recommended. I have uploaded a new "new version" today. -- Regards, Mateusz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

preserving user changes while managing configuration files
Dear mentors,
I have a question regarding configuration file changes.
I've written a utility to manage a fairly complicated configuration
file. The utility is used in the postinst script, and debconf feeds it
the right parameters. The utility can also be used stand-alone by the
administrator.
Of course the administrator can edit the file by hand, and the Debian
policy clearly states that the maintainer scripts should not overwrite
such changes.
The way I've addressed this is by adding a special marker containing a
warning near the top of the configuration file ('warning: this file is
maintained by foo-configure; remove this line when editing.'), and the
utility tests if this line is present before overwriting the file.
My question is whether this method sufficiently implements the policy,
or if there are other ways to go about it.
Thanks,
Dennis
