Bug#784854: MIA for Karolina Kalic karol...@resenje.org
On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 10:58:08AM +0200, Karolina Kalic wrote: Hi everybody, As I can remember, MIA team contacted me a while ago. And I explained that I can not continue my work for Debian at the moment. The packages should have been orphaned properly after that. I don't know what happened. I'm glad that someone wants to continue the work on unico. I don't have any objections. Thanks for the reply Karolina. There was a misunderstanding here, somebody decided to orphan the package in their own and later when Ricardo Mones from the MIA team orphaned it properly, he kept the first bug and merged it with his own orphaning but from the MIA team. Vincent probably overlooked the second orphaning bug and therefore his, understandable, request about following the MIA procedure. So please James Lu, feel free to adopt the package. Vincent or Dmitry feel free to sponsor it and Karolina, I hope you'll be able to be back in the project in the future!

Thanks for spending time on d/copyright.
Just fixed what you pointed out in git.
- debian/ming-fonts-{dejavu,opensymbol}.copyright not converted to
DEP-5; that's fine, although it's worth pointing out that
ming-fonts-opensymbol.copyright has an unversioned symlink to the
LGPL.
Now I know that even binaries can have their own copyright file, which
replaces global one (always good?). Fixed in git.
There's a variety of other things that can be done to
improve/modernize the package, e.g. DEP-3 patch headers, conversion of
d/rules to dh shorthand, etc., but I suppose you want to tackle the
copyright/licensing issues as that's what got the package removed from
testing in the first place?
Exactly.

IANAL, so my opinion doesn't actually matter. :)
If you want an authoritative yes/no regarding whether this is legally
acceptable or not, debian-legal is the wrong place; you should be
asking the ftpmasters directly instead.
I don't actually know anything about ming (and the Debian ming
packages); are php_ext/ming.{c,h} actually used to build the binary
packages? Can they be removed just like java_ext?

Please remove ming from mentors until this is clarified as we don't have a license to distribute it. Neither a clause prohibiting it. Does it really make it non-free? Any reference? Copyright law does not allow distribution by default. It doesn't make it non-free, it makes it non-redistributable, even in the non-free portion of Debian. BTW getting rid of java extension would not be a problem Great, please do ASAP as you have made mentors.d.n violate the law. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#784854: MIA for Karolina Kalic karol...@resenje.org
Hello MIA Team, After some discussion on bug #784854 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784854, I'm trying to find information about maintainer Karolina Kalic karol...@resenje.org, whose package gtk3-engines-unico was apparently orphaned incorrectly without the MIA team's consent. A critical bug (#706330 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706330) has been affecting the package since April 2013, and she haven't responded since. Looking at: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#mia-qa The|echelon|information available through thedevelopers' LDAP database https://db.debian.org/, which indicates when the developer last posted to a Debian mailing list. (This includes mails about uploads distributed via the|debian-devel-chan...@lists.debian.org mailto:debian-devel-chan...@lists.debian.org|list.) Also, remember to check whether the maintainer is marked as on vacation in the database. Karolina Kalic is not in the LDAP database, though https://contributors.debian.org/contributor/karolina-guest%40alioth provides a bit of info. The number of packages this maintainer is responsible for, and the condition of those packages. In particular, are there any RC bugs that have been open for ages? Furthermore, how many bugs are there in general? Another important piece of information is whether the packages have been NMUed, and if so, by whom. She is involved in the packaging of 4 packages, 2 of which have been taken over and 3 with RC bugs. https://qa.debian.org https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=karolina%20kalic%20%3ckarol...@resenje.org%3Ecomaint=yes/developer.php?login=karolina%20kalic%20%3ckarol...@resenje.org%3Ecomaint=yes https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=karolina%20kalic%20%3ckarol...@resenje.org%3Ecomaint=yes Is there any activity of the maintainer outside of Debian? For example, they might have posted something recently to non-Debian mailing lists or news groups. A quick Google search for karol...@resenje.org finds some things about PGP keys and the Debian packages she's been involved in, but all of these seem to be from 2011-2012. Searching the name is really ambiguous, giving various results for different packages on various distributions. I did find this forum post http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=815887#p815887 from Linux Mint though, discussing how Unico was abandoned in Debian... The latest post by date I found at a strange lookingDebian bugs mirror http://debian.2.n7.nabble.com/Bug-706330-Re-Some-applications-segfaults-after-upgrade-to-3-8-0-1-td3005089.html#a3006577, but that just duplicates what was in the bug tracker anyways.

Bug#784854: MIA for Karolina Kalic karol...@resenje.org
Hi everybody, As I can remember, MIA team contacted me a while ago. And I explained that I can not continue my work for Debian at the moment. The packages should have been orphaned properly after that. I don't know what happened. I'm glad that someone wants to continue the work on unico. I don't have any objections.

Hi Vincent, Le 18/05/2015 05:01, Vincent Cheng a écrit : […] Looks good, except for one last thing I should've checked earlier (sorry for these piecemeal reviews); your orig tarball doesn't seem to match the tarball distributed upstream: upstream md5sum: 7e2c04fb8dbb7d39b9ee7b64565e0c4f mentors.d.n tarball md5sum: 0fbcb66a9ef8368fb3de5397b14eb991 Please ensure that you're using the same tarball as upstream is; if you must repack it (e.g. to satisfy DFSG), please change the version string (appending +dfsg is typical in this scenario) and add a brief explanation to d/README.source or d/copyright. If you're using git-buildpackage or similar helpers without e.g. pristine-tar, or some other way of reconstructing pristine tarballs, you're going to end up with a tarball with a different hashsum as well. I guess this check could be done directly by mentors.d.n. Anyway, I've reworked my git repo with pristine-tar enabled and it looks better. (Also, re: #781185, you didn't actually retitle the wnpp bug and set yourself as owner.) Done. The new (and, hopefully, last) version is on mentors.d.n.
