watch file help needed: Download page of mkgmap changed and is now hiding download files behind JavaScript code

Use a match based on the zip download and downloadurlmangle to
transform that to a src tarball.

No upstream versioning
Hello, I'm wishing to package ipad-charge[0] for Debian.[1] The only problem I appear to be having is that the upstream don't version their uploads. I've emailed the developer a few days ago but haven't received a response so far. I'm wondering what I should version it as if I do not receive a reply from the upstream developer?

Create an issue on github to tag his releases.
If that doesn't work, another possibility would be to create a mock
version number based on the date, for example MMDD.{7-digit-commit-ID}.

Create an issue on github to tag his releases.
There was an issue reported about a year ago with regards about
versioning (https://github.com/mkorenkov/ipad_charge/issues/24) however
there was no replies.
If that doesn't work, another possibility would be to create a mock
version number based on the date, for example MMDD.{7-digit-commit-ID}.
So I will most likely go with this option and build the package tomorrow.

...and possibly prepending it with 0~ in order to avoid you to

Consider using 0+gitMMDD.commitID
So if upstream start tagging their release will be simpler.

argument against splitting packages
Hi all, In the last couple of days, the following came up multiple times. Splitting binary packages adds to the total amount of packages in Debian. I have heard that (some) people are very careful before they decide to do that. What is the argument? I can come up with one, but I wonder if there is more to it. The one argument that I can come up with is that adding a package also adds about 1kB to the data that everybody in Debian has to download (on every update), also the people that are not interested in the package (which may be many).

Bug#745609: RFS: eso-midas/13.09pl1.2-1 [ITP] -- European Southern Observatory Munich Image Data Analysis System
Hi Ole, your debian/copyright needs some additions: install/unix/systems/Cygwin/values.h is LGPL gui/GraphLib/libsrc/uimxR5/include/msg.h is some Apple license libsrc/readline/* is GPL1+ gui/GraphLib/DESCRIPTION has some additional license information Most important install/unix/systems/Linux_alpha/README.linux tells that midas is only for non-commercial usage. You should get a statement from upstream that this is no longer valid and add a comment to debian/copyright (or better let upstream remove that file).

It also increases the size of the dependency graph which apt and friends must handle, which increases the memory necessary to install Debian, and the time which it takes to parse and solve the graph. In general, if everyone would normally install both packages, the architectures match, and the split packages are not large, it's not worth splitting. The cases where you should split are generally really obvious; if it's not clear, ask here or in #debian-mentors, and you'll get some reasonable advice. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com S: Make me a sandwich B: What?
