Bug#764150: Copyright of debian/* in proj?
Hi, I was stumbling about the extraordinary size of proj_4.9.0~rc2-1~exp1.debian.tar.xz and noticed that it contains large files debian/datumgrids*. While README.source gives some hint I think d/copyright deserves some information. Besides the fact that the debian packaging in itself does not fit what the Files: * section says an additional remark would be helpful. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#763810: RFS: cruft/0.9.16+nmu1 NMU
Hi, You should sometime read them I have already read them many times in random order; I will browse those again from start to begin to see if i missed something important. As [1] is emtpy, I will be a little more verbose below, apologizes if I tell you something you already know. Indeed. I have till now very little experience with packaging. I just built some dummy ones with equivs. - Change the Orphaning Bug to an Intent-To-Adopt-Title (ITA:) one and set yourself as owner (see https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o and https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control; bts(1) is also a useful tool for manipulating bug status) Done, I wish I knew bts existed before. - Close the Bug in your d/changelog. (some entry like New maintainer (Closes: #763888) -- (d/ is short for the debian/ directory in your package) Ok - Set yourself as Maintainer in d/control (and remove the likely inactive Uplpoader; he can be added in case of again) Ok I already solved 3 bugs, they will be automaticaly closed by the amended changelog. Thats the way to go. If you like, you can also tag those bugs pending In fact, those fixes are already included in the last upload from Marcin that is already in sid. (cruft-ng) Just one remark: Depends should be only used when appropriate -- refer to Policy §7.2 -- so only if cruft-ng requires cruft to operate) It does well requires all the _rules_ from the explain/ filters-unex/ directories. The proper way to do it would be to have an arch-indepedant cruft-data package with theses rules, with two arc-dependant cruft cruft-ng that depend on this. Though, this is much work; I guess that people willing to rewrite cruft could also just do a git clone ; cd ; make to try it out. NM is to become a DD. Ok, I mixed it up; I thought taht was needed to recognize the gpg key. (Lintian Error ) This error will go away after you adopted the package (as described above) Ok - d/changelog: There was an upload Oct3 - you need to rebase your d/changelog to include the changes from 0.9.17 (skip the unreleased nmu) Ok, I did the rebase, the nmu is gone Standard Version 3.9.6 is out ;-) Ok Regarding VCS-*, they need some update as you need to keep them actual Marcin transfered me the root GitHub repository after I deleted my fork, I adapted the URL everywere. (Note: Seems that Marcin did not push the tag for 0.9.17 -- please make sure to tag this release. Tool recommendation: git-buildpackage I set the tag. - d/copyright Comment: should go, not needed. You need to add your name to the * section (as you are also becoming upstream, I guess. Its a native package afterall :)) Ok, I just didn't want to rush it/hurt people feelings; It's nothing technical. This is correct now. I removed the links to the wiki alioth page; those are not much usefull anyway. - d/cruft.lintian-overrides Please remove the lines when no longer needed, not just only comment it. Ok - d/docs is empty Remove file if not needed. Ok - d/dirs *might* not be needed, as debhelper will create the dirs for you usually. So check if can be cleaned up I've forgotten this little bit in my last upload to mentors. Only the empty folders should be there. (/var/... /etc...) Ok, the list is not really long. Good job!

Bug#764261: RFS: librocket/1.3-1 [ITP]
Hi Tom! Thanks for packaging librocket for Debian. I've got a couple things for you to fix as the next steps. 1. You should delete all of those .ex files in the debian directory. Those are just examples of things that you might need to do. 2. Your changelog should close an ITP bug - in your case, #764252. 3. If you are using compat = 9 (which you should!), you need to depend on debhelper = 9. 4. Your VCS fields contain a repository which doesn't exist. You should setup the collab-maint repository and push the packaging's git repository there. 5. Your standards version isn't the latest version - you should update it to 3.9.6. 6. Your packages should have a short description and a longer description that should be enough information for a user to decide whether they want to install the package. Check out Debian Policy 3.4 for more details there. 7. Your patches are missing DEP-3 headers; check out the patch tagging guidelines at http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/. Lintian is a very helpful tool for finding some of these problems, and has more than I detailed above, as well as some general warnings that might point to bigger problems. I recommend it highly; it's saved my butt on many an occasion! Thanks again for your help packaging librocket for Debian; when you've got another upload that fixes the problems, send the bug a mail and someone will swing by and take another look.
