Bug#701543: RFS: spout/1.4-1 [ITA] -- Tiny abstract black and white 2D cave-shooter
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On 25/02/13 01:17, Anton Gladky wrote: Hi Scott, thanks for adopting the package. There are a couple of notes/questions: Hi Anton, thanks for the review. As you can see, I'm quite new at this! 1. Why do you use compat level 8, not 9? 2. The current Standards-Version is now 3.9.4. I used compat level 8 and Standards-Version 3.9.3 because these are the versions which dh_make automatically inserts when debianising an application. Thanks for the heads-up regarding the new versions - I've fixed the packaging. For future reference, where/when do these new versions get announced and/or become official? 3. Why VCS-field is commented out? It is better to use VCS for packaging. Yes, you are right. I have pushed the packaging to github and updated the VCS fields. 4. Why libsdl1.2debian is injected to Depends manually? Is it linked against spout? No. This was a mistake due to my misunderstanding of the misc:shlibs variable. The manual depends has been removed. 5. I would suggest to target the upload into experimental branch instead of unstable due to a freeze-period. Thanks for the tip, I've changed the upload to target experimental. 6. It seems, desktop-file is not installing. You are right, and it also had some other issues which I've now fixed to lintian's satisfaction. Thanks again for the thorough review! I've attached the updated changelog below: - --- spout (1.4-1) experimental; urgency=low * New Debian maintainer. (Closes: #691830) * Imported new upstream version 1.4. * New upstream maintainer and homepage. * Fix typo and other formatting issues in .desktop file. (Closes: #556938) * Apply 64-bit segfault patch to upstream. * Merge new upstream and old Debian man pages. * Build-depend on hardening-wrapper. * Patched hardening errors. * Updated packaging to use debhelper, quilt 3.0. * Bump standards version to 3.9.4. * Bump compat version to 9. * Add new packaging VCS information. -- Scott Leggett sc...@sl.id.au Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:23:58 +1100 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRK12FAAoJEHlzKPr+55fVw/kQAJH+rxguDh/4IX9Z1VltdCb8 Xo3Cvby4H1y+fPRFZt2ppasuSRaTaxMQ3lnu/raDMuOEb8WuwRUlQpGZzbw5OMg1 oXATlptzde9asSdj2LpwlRw83pYAICCuBk3vqneWfT91timM45bDTjBG1c/ZO+6i FVtQpP9bY7FU2YCDa42cGIziWuVfNNtVnTy3NPX4YJy2//Ru1JqHdTozhAx08s15 Cy8X+pVElrAQJsS00xOamLr0Ug8iSW8t1mZHoMEY2RrRzad9qCsxYTwNohvHe0nq TPOqDgiB4XbkL0kH1aqGZBCkE8/+OqZzsFtlEzOn5d3InHcIpFxuDtfpxlMkV8h9 /zcXxRQzoXM6Amr5yhnEc6Kv1PEmrxigvpWYBCg6IJkjAcEq3s9MjjMtY1sF+ykv K78Po3CcoeCqInZ+CBjcUI2fMRL6bGAVFnj7EAXauXWkMO7rWeM0U5sr9eoEc4hD rFBZMzyCGbjq6zTAU2oc7WVoM7fEhJkQBk5SLVYpjLpSl1lx1UMXSReJgmZ/eRnk z6O4vP6FxY7U27I7DHQefhSzz5Kquej/lpPuu5SdoMISnh3yUs7M+4r8I70CemFy YyUdp6195gytSKM371oBDk/IJd3hHJQU2Q2FIyFyOaIHf6y5eU1re7BVB3p4JzOr GkyybyShDghJQ+RiaHzf =F10K -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi, On 02/25/2013 07:52 AM, Joachim Langenbach wrote: 1) changelog says, that you are targeting the software to stable release. It is impossible. Use unstable instead. Also you should put your name there. So this stable or unstable line refers to the distribution status the package is build for? Like build for squeeze is stable and build for sid is unstable? Please, check that. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#changelog 5) Depends-section contains a lot of libraries, they should be automatically picked up due to dh_shlibdeps, if it is possible. Without the dependencies to binary packages defined in this package (like dependency of libengsas0-common from libengsas0), right? Please, check that: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html#library Игорь is right, libengsas0-common should be kept. For example. there is a list of of dependencies auto-generated by dh_shlibdeps for this library: libc6 (= 2.2.5), libengsas0, libgcc1 (= 1:4.1.1), libqt4-network (= 4:4.5.3), libqt4-sql (= 4:4.5.3), libqt4-xml (= 4:4.5.3), libqt4-xmlpatterns (= 4:4.5.3), libqtcore4 (= 4:4.7.0~beta1), libqtgui4 (= 4:4.5.3), libstdc++6 (= 4.1.1) 7) Remove postinst and postrm scripts. Review other ones. I had added them, because lintian complains, that they are not there otherwise, is this wrong? Or do you mean a specific one? Some of your scripts are empty. They should be removed. Other ones should be reviewed. If you do not really need them - remove them, Cheers, Anton signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Watch file warning from mentors website
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've got an issue with watch file usage in some software I'm trying to package ( https://mentors.debian.net/package/compton ). Upstream does not release tarballs, instead preferring packagers to build straight from git. I've followed the advice of the lintian report for debian-watch-file-is-missing, and created a watch file with a few comments explaining the situation. It looks like this: #version=3 #http://githubredir.debian.net/github/chjj/compton (.*).tar.gz # Upstream currently does not release tarballs or even tag releases, instead # preferring packagers to work straight from git. # When this situation improves, the watch lines above should work and this # comment block can be removed. See https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/71 This passes lintian fine locally, but when uploaded the mentors website complains that A watch file is present but doesn't work (see the link to my package above). Is there something I can fix in the watch file, or is the mentors website complaining unnecessarily? It seems strange that the website would complain while lintian does not.

See https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/71 The redirector githubredir is obsolete, because github allows uscan now. It's possible that githubredir is still documented in some versions of man uscan. You can choose to add a comments-only watch file or to leave out the watch file and ignore the lintian message. This passes lintian fine locally, but when uploaded the mentors website complains that A watch file is present but doesn't work (see the link to my package above). You can ignore that. I guess mentors doensn't check for comments-only watch files. Is there something I can fix in the watch file, At first site upstream doesn't support uscan, so no. or is the mentors website complaining unnecessarily? In my opinion, yes. It seems strange that the website would complain while lintian does not. I guess mentors doesn't use lintian to check the watch file, hence the different behavior.
