Splitting source packages is generally something to talk to upstream
about rather than something that should be done in Debian.

I'm not involved in the buildd stuff, but AFAICT we do not build
Architecture: any packages on all of the buildds for a particular
architecture (because that would be a waste of CPU, disk, network
resources). So I very much doubt we will be building Architecture: all
packages on all available buildds, I guess they will be built on the
first available buildd that matches the requirements
(Build-Depends{,-Indep}, Build-Architecture, etc).

Build-Depends-Indep is definitely not a kludge, thats the standard
Debian interface for building arch-independent stuff only.

/usr/games/libre-jigsaw is a link to

Bug#658306: preload/0.6.4-2 [ITA] -- adaptive readahead daemon

2012-03-02 Thread Daniel Martí
Since the 3.9.3 release, here's a new mentors.debian.net upload:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/preload/preload_0.6.4-2.dsc

Here's the full changelog entry for this revision:

  * New Maintainer (Closes: #646216)
  * Switched to 3.0 (quilt) source format.
  * Corrected the logrotate location. Thanks to Tobias for the patch.
(Closes: #619384)
  * Improved init.d script
+ Add init.d status support. Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for the patch.
(Closes: #645156)
+ The script now provides itself.
  * Created debian/watch.
  * Fixed a spelling mistake in the manpage.
  * debian/copyright now refers to GPL-2 rather than to the GPL symlink.
  * Bumped debhelper compatibility up to level 9.
  * Bumped standards version to 3.9.3.

I'd be very glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Thank you,

Daniel

Bug#659522: RFS: prelink/0.0.20111012-1 [ITA] - ELF prelinking

2012-03-02 Thread Daniel Martí
A new package is available at mentors as shown below:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/prelink/prelink_0.0.20111012-1.dsc

I've solved these issues:

* Errors.
* Pedantic and informational complaints are gone as well.
* I've added a Closes:LP bug which requests the latest upstream version to be
  packaged.
* Bumped standards version to 3.9.3.

There are two W: I have left out for now:

W: prelink source: ancient-libtool ltconfig
W: prelink source: ancient-libtool ltmain.sh 1.4.2

Since the lintian description tells me to contact upstream before patching
with quilt (which would give extra work), I've sent a mail to Jakub about the
subject. I'll wait a week or two for his answer. For the time being, the newer
upload seems to be fine apart from those two warnings.

I'd be very glad if someone sponsored this package for me.

Cheers,

Daniel

Upstream answered: the file was generated using os.urandom() 
or something to be able to test on a non-trivial file and will 
be removed from future releases to be generated as needed before 
running the tests.

Should I repackage the orig tarball for this release or is it 
fine to keep it for now?

When that plan goes into place, will the Architecture: all be built under all 
the different architectures? I have a package that fails to build under some 
archetectures, because of the heavy duty dependancies necessary to build an 
Architecture: all  package. I am trying to figure out if it would be a good 
idea to split that source package in two.

I am aware of Build-Depends-Indep and this kludge:
http://asylum.madhouse-project.org/blog/2012/01/26/buildd-workarounds/

but it feels too kludgy.

I'm not familiar with Java so I only took a brief look at the package:

debian/rules refers to your home directory. That will not work for other
people building the package.

The short description should not just repeat the package name.
Something generic like "jigsaw puzzle" might be better.

I did not see what you install to /usr/games/libre-jigsaw which is
started by the .desktop and menu files. But I might have missed it.

Ansgar

Does not seem so.

Only symlinks to directories, not symlinks to regular files.

They can share a symlink if the target is the same in all packages and
is a directory.  Neither is the case here.

I see.  Is this filed as a bug?

I'm surprised the Replaces is needed.  Symlinks act like directories
in dpkg most of the time, and multiple packages are allowed to share a
directory.
