You should also add '+dfsg' (or arguably '~dfsg') to the upstream
version (so that your package version would be '1.2.1.r4+dfsg-2'). Also,
I think you should document that change in the Source field of
debian/copyright's header paragraph rather than debian/README.source.

It is possible to fix non-RC bugs in updates to stable (that are deemed
important enough to be fixed).  The maintainer and the (stable) release
managers have to agree with it though.

Taking over maintenance is a good idea.  The release managers usually
require bugs to be fixed in testing before approving changes to stable.

Ansgar

The current upstream version is out for more than 2 years so I think the new

should rely on the latest upstream version.

another short question: the PTS indicates that there is a new upstream version 
available:

"A new upstream version is available: 0.1.15.2, you should consider packaging 
it."

Should i package the new version available or should i repack the current one

we're developing towards Unstable only. Thus, if you want to take over
as a maintainer of a package your work is always invested in Unstable.

In your case the package is orphaned, hence you can just take over it.
Use the latest source package available in Debian Unstable, package the
new upstream version and start working on open bugs. Don't forget to
replace yourself as maintainer in debian/control as you become
responsible for the package. If there is a version control system for
the package somewhere you might want to check latest bits available
there as well.

Once your work is done present the reworked source package here again,
and people will review and upload it successively.

OK, thanks for your details. I do also think, that this bug is not a release
critical rather an important bug.

So - I'm still interested in working for the policyd weight package but 
currently
I do not know where to start properly. My idea to repackage the current stable 
one
wasn't that smart, apperently :)

In the long run, I want to take over the package as there is currently no

Stable is frozen, we do not change packages there unless there is a very
good reason to do so. The bug you are fixing does not seem to qualify as
release critical thus we need to deal with the problem as is.

If you think the problem is release critical indeed, please talk to the
stable release team (debian-rele...@lists.debian.org) whether they would
like to push your update through stable-proposed-updates. Please note,
if you consider that way make sure you made a minimal-invasive changeset
first, which only changes things absolutely necessary to deal with the bug.

maintainer chris does not have the time to take care about this package any
more. With my uploaded package I - principially - wanted to close bug
#641227  So my question is: should I go on further with this package? Or should
I rely on the packages in Testing?

OK, thanks for the hint.

My Upload was just for bug-closing-purposes in the current policyd-weight
package in stable. I want to take over the package, but I probably do need
some help for the start

Thanks Arno and have a nice day,
Werner

RFS: nuitka (3rd try)

2011-12-25 Thread Kay Hayen


Dear mentors,

I am out of review comments for the package:

 * Package name: nuitka
   Version : 0.3.17pre2-1
   Upstream Author : Kay Hayen 
 * URL : http://nuitka.net
 * License : GPLv3
   Section : python

It builds those binary packages:

nuitka - Python compiler with full language support and CPython 
compatible


To access further information about this package, please visit the 
following URL:


  http://mentors.debian.net/package/nuitka

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nuitka/nuitka_0.3.17pre2-1.dsc


I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. I believe it 
relatively is simple package. No real compile time dependencies. Pure 
Python. Lintian clean. Closes an ITP bug, etc.


At Python compile time, it uses g++ and Scons, but without the user 
noticing. Esp. Nuitka is not itself build with Scons, nor needs the user 
use it, etc. There is a inline copy of Scons in Nuitka, which is removed 
for Debian of course, and not in the binary build.


I am willing to be a "good" upstream, and have so far made all known 
modifications to fit better into Debian.


Thanks in advance,
Kay Hayen
