RFS: xnoise (updated version-0.1.31)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package xnoise. * Package name: xnoise Version : 0.1.31 Upstream Author : Jörn Magens shuerhaa...@googlemail.com * URL : http://www.xnoise-media-player.com/ * License : GPL2+ Section : sound It builds those binary packages: xnoise - media player for Gtk+ xnoise-dev - media player for Gtk+ (development files) xnoise-plugins - media player for Gtk+ (factory plugins collection) Xnoise in action video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h_SfcRCilw The package is almost lintian clean, only complain I'm not the maintainer. However, it's fine since I got a permission from him. This list users comments about the package has been fixed. You can see the previous attempts(in previous versions): http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/11/msg00599.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/10/msg00116.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/07/msg00106.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-Mentors/2011/07/msg00217.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/08/msg00566.html The maintainer quote: My motivation for maintaining this package is: I am the developer of this program and I'd like to see it in Debian. In the past I packaged this only for Ubuntu via ppa, but that is not the way it should go. I'm planning to get in touch with Debian multimedia team, but I need a sponsor first, since they don't do sponsoring. Note that among other changes, version switch GTK2 dependency to GTK3. It is also, according to maintainer, the last one in 0.1.x series (i.e. next one will be 0.2). To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/xnoise Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xnoise/xnoise_0.1.31.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Therefore disabling -msse2 has caused the package to FTBFS everywhere except amd64. For non pc architectures I would think the sse2 plugin should simply be disabled.

In /usr/lib there should be the one working on all system supported by Debian for that architecture, while there are some subdirectories where an version with more intructions used can be placed and used at runtime when supported. (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib LD_DEBUG=libs /bin/true will show you a list of paths looked at at you computer, finding out which of those allows what intruction sets might be more complicated and require reading the ld.so source code and the kernel code responsible for /proc/cpu unless there is finally some information about this somewhere in the net). Though that only makes sense if the speed increment is worth the additional afford at build time, the bigger packages and the more fragmented user base.

upstream changelog in XML format

Right now, I manage it by adding an override in the debian/rules file: override_dh_installchangelogs: dh_installchangelogs --keep Changes.xml Nevertheless, nothing is really done, in particular `Changes.xml' is not converted in text. I put the `--keep' option because I suspect that this kind of changelog file is a well know format in some `field' (even if I can not figure out which `field'). Is there a better way to deal with this `Changes.xml' ? I guess that I can add some stuff in the makefile to convert it in text format: do specific tools exist to convert this kind of changelog in text format ?
