Well, not setting SONAME in the plugins, and even overriding
dh_makeshlibs doesn't help with these lintian warnings.

Alternately (and in my opinion preferrably) just exclude the plugins
directory from dh_makeshlibs:

override_dh_makeshlibs:
dh_makeshlibs -Xusr/lib/gemrb/plugins

(This is really a (minor) upstream bug, since, as plugins, these objects
should not have SONAMEs.)

Re: RFS: please upload cl-asdf package

[Faré]

Dear mentors,

OK, Robert Goldman, the new ASDF maintainer, can't do the debian
release at this time, so until someone picks up the slack, I'll keep
doing it, at least from time to time.

Can one of the active CL debian hackers please upload the cl-asdf
package, after checking that it works fine for you? Our previous
upload failed, probably because dput refused to clobber the .orig
tarball between two attempts. Therefore, I tried to release a new
version.

The cl-asdf source package builds this binary package:
cl-asdf- Another System Definition Facility

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The package cl-asdf can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cl-asdf
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cl-asdf/cl-asdf_3.0.2.4-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded these packages for me.

Kind regards

I think that for some reasons I had to put "unstable", but I'm not
sure what the correct value is for a new package (NEW or UNRELEASED
?).
As I was maintaining the package for a while, I made multiple releases
to mentors.debian.net, and I think it was expecting increasing version
numbers or something like that.

I will restart the ChangeLog from scratch anyway.

There is a small demo game, but I don't even know if it is playable. I
would say that contrib is sensible.

I will.

That's what I thought, I will add the override.

I don't think that the package provide anything non-free. For the
files in the demo folder, there seem to be mostly GPL and coming from
GemRB exclusively.
However I have seen that some of them are not clearly licensed. We can
drop this part of the package if this is an issue, as they are not
very useful, except as a starting point for game developpers.

Cheers,

Thanks for your work, here are some comments:

1) Changelog is confusing, there are multiple entries claiming upload
to unstable that has never been uploaded. The ITP bug is closed very
low on the list. Also, this is labeled as 0.8.0-3, but this is the
first upload to Debian. For the sake of clarity in the Debian archive,
I think you should reduce the debian/changelog to a single entry:
0.8.0-1, "First packaging for Debian (Closes: #658887)". (or close
which ever of the ITP bugs you want to close)

2) It appears that several of the packages depends on non-free data,
but it also appears that the engine can run free content. Is the
package usable without any content, or does it depend on non-free
content? (i.e., if a user downloads the package, will they be able to
do something with it "out of the box")? I'm trying to see if this
should be in "main" or "contrib." Looking at the upstream website, it
appears that the package should be "contrib."

3) Lintian report:
I: gemrb: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry
usr/share/applications/gemrb.desktop
I: libgemrb: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/gemrb/plugins/2DAImporter.so
I: libgemrb: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/gemrb/plugins/BAMImporter.so
I: libgemrb: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/gemrb/plugins/CREImporter.so
W: libgemrb: postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
W: libgemrb: postrm-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig

the first 4 are minor and can be fixed if you'd like to whenever you
get a chance.

The last two should be overridden for being a bug in debhelper.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205142

4) the debian/control VCS-Git and VCS don't match the one you gave me
(http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/gemrb.git;a=summary)

5) I was a little uneasy about the vvc files, they are binary blobs so
I was worried about where they came from (copyright and license), but
I found:
http://gemrb.org/iesdp/file_formats/ie_formats/vvc_v1.htm
I think it is ok, they seem to be from gemrb and not taken from
closed-source game content. You don't need to do anything about them.

Cheers,
Scott

Re: skype4py, any sponsors?

[Dominik George]

Hi,

I do not see why this should be supported by Debian. Skype is proprietary and, 
allegedly, malicious spyware that we should not encourage our users to use.

IMHO you should go support Telepathy or some other framework that allow 
programming for less malicious software.

skype4py, any sponsors?

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi debian mentors,

skype4py was removed on unstable because unmaintained and not so much used.

Anyway I think now that is actively maintained again would be nice to get it 
into debian again,
http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/skype4py.html

I made it available on mentors, I can package it and take care of it.
http://mentors.debian.net/package/skype4py

with skype4py you can easily write python scripts for sending messages around 
the world and do many other things that skype API allows you to


many thanks for your time

Gianfranco
