Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, this one will break the .dsc file. 
I was hoping to find a solution using just dpkg-source.

I've looked at its code, and if understood it properly (I'm a perl begginner), 
this is not possible, since the regexp is applied only to the filename, not 
the path.

Thanks anyway. :)

dpkg-source and ignore everything outside of debian/

2005-12-22 Thread Alejandro Exojo
Hi.

I'm trying to generate a diff.gz in which only the debian/ directory is 
included. My package contains some patches for Makefile.am in debian/patches, 
but when the source is cleaned, the patches unapplied, and the Makefile.in 
are regenerated, there are differences between the original ones, and the 
regenerated, because they come from different automake versions.

The only workaround I found, is unpack the orig.tar.gz, copy the debian/ 
directory to the tree (which I have stored under version control), and _then_ 
and only then, generate the source package with -i, which already skips the 
".svn" dirs, etc.

I'm trying to add a regular expression to the "-i" option to skip anything 
outside the debian directory, but I can't find the right one. :(

Any suggestion is very welcome. Thanks in advance.

Minimum copyright / author information

2005-04-05 Thread Alejandro Exojo
Hi.

I'm packaging a set of emoticons for KDE. At this moment, is just for my own 
use, and for those who find them useful, but I'm considering that if the 
package is interesting enough for Debian, the original tarball will need more 
information which is not provided at the moment.

The upstream page is:
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=10554

In that page, it says the license is GPL, with a link to the FSF page with the 
GNU GPL license, etc, but in the tarball there isn't any information about 
the autor, the copyright, etc. Just the icons in SVG and PNG.

I suppose I will have to ask upstream about at least include the license, and 
the copyright information in it, but should I demand him more things? For 
example, the source is in SVG. Should be any notice in each source image? 
Anything else?

Thanks in advance.

IMHO, _is_ a problem. If I publish tomorrow the Good Personal License, I can 
say that the author wants to distribute the program under the terms on my 
license.

And note that sometimes one uses different licenses in the same tarball (for

I remember with happiness when I was new to free software, and used seti at

the framework is free software.

I hope you have time to make KBoincSpy enter Debian. Since I don't see replies 
in debian-mentors to your request, I suggest you to also ask for a sponsor in 
debian-qt-kde, or a debian mailinglist in your language, if exists (in my 
case I have debian-devel-spanish :-)).

Unfortunately, I'm not a Debian Developer, so I can not sponsor you, but I 
have some small comments:

- You include some changes directly in the diff; some are generated, like the 
ones in Makefile.in's, and some in cpp sources. For some people, is OK to 
include the files generated by automake and autoconf (thiw way, you don't 
need to build-depend on them), but I don't see a good idea to modify directly 
the sources.

Normally a sponsor will check better for malicious or improper changes if you 
don't modify directly the sources. I suggest you to create a patchsystem, and 
put your changes in debian/patches. You can use other package as a example. I 
copied a lot of code of the KDE packages in kxmleditor.

- The package recommends boinc-client, but where is this package available? A 
comment in the description, or in README.Debian, will be great for a BOINC 
newbie.

- The override for 'desktop-file-in-wrong-dir' is unneeded if you patch the 
Makefile.am for installing in the xdg_apps directory (which is correct, of 
course). It was a small lintian bug, and in the next version, will not 
complain about the other desktop files.

Greetings.

Yes, but what I wanted, is remove the generated files from the diff.gz, 
because they will be generated again at build time.

I finally did 2. If the source package is generated in the first run of

OK.

Because upstream included a Makefile.am with wrong installation paths, and

Patching the upstream sources, and the debian diff

2004-12-26 Thread Alejandro Exojo
Hi.

I've been working this days in Debian packaging, and it was the first time I 
needed to patch the upstream sources, more especifically, the Makefile.am.

I studied the patching stuff from other packages, and then, added the relevant 
lines to my debian/rules, and the patches to debian/patches/. I've been 
always building the source and the binary with dpkg-buildpackage, and I was 
happy with that. But this time, since before the dpkg-source -b, the clean 
target is called, the patches are unapplied, and automake is called again.

This generates different Makefile.in's from the ones that upstream provides, 
because upstream used automake 1.7.6 and unstable now haves 1.7.9 (in 
automake1.7). This differences are now added to the diff.gz, but this doesn't 
sounds to me the proper way.

What I did to create this package, was to add stuff inside debian/, so I tried 
to: extract the original sources, add the debian directory, and inmediately, 
run dpkg-source -b, before doing anything that calls the clean target of 
debian/rules. This created a diff with the contents I expected, and instead 
of 15K, it was just 5K.

However, looking at other packages, I see huge diffs with more than 300K, and 
including lots of generated stuff. So here are my questions:

- Is there a preferred way of generating the source and/or the binary package?
- Are not correct the packages that include generated files in the diff?

Thanks a lot.

PS: Grrr, and linda says it's a warning to Build-Depend on automake*, when 
clearly many packages have to regenerate their Makefile.in.

Yes, the easiest way, is with aptitude in GUI mode. Place the cursor on the

to purge, and press "_". To perform scheduled actions, press "g", and "g"

[RFS, RFA] kxmleditor: XML Editor for KDE (2nd try)

2004-12-08 Thread Alejandro Exojo
Hi.

I sent a request for a sponsor for this package, some months ago. The 
package is up for adoption (bug #255299); his mantainer isn't interested 
anymore in this package, and some upstream releases have been produced 
since the last time he could upload a package.

He finally packaged the last upstream release, so I merged his work with my 
previous one, and we two hope that I can find a sponsor, so the package is 
well mantained again, and he isn't bored anymore with a package that doesn't 
interests him.

From the changes file:

Changes:
 kxmleditor (1.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release (Closes: #277487).
   * New mantainer (Closes: #255299), thanks Mike for the previous work.
   * Revert changes from Frank Lichtenheld's NMU. They are not needed with
 latest upstream.
   * debian/watch: Added a watch file for DEHS (by Mike Hommey).
   * debian/control:
 - Corrected the description by a native English speaker. ;-)
 - Moved section from "editors" to "kde".
 - Updated "Build-Depends" (changed libqt3-compat-headers to qt3-dev-tools
   greater than 3.3, because contains files created with designer 3.3).
   * debian/copyright: Reflex the work of all mantainers, and added the 
excerpt
 of the GPL.
   * debian/menu: Quoted all entries, and deleted obsolete "kderemove".
   * Changed DH_COMPAT to debian/compat.
   * debian/rules: minor change.
   * shlibs.local: file removed, isn't necessary anymore.
Files:
 cee01095c9be191bf167d3885314af0a 620 kde optional kxmleditor_1.1.3-1.dsc
 0edae2359e6260524481b920d58580da 1308240 kde optional 
kxmleditor_1.1.3.orig.tar.gz

 ffc57081dd7bb28fc3ad40f6dd76e4ab 818788 kde optional 
kxmleditor_1.1.3-1_i386.deb

The package can be fetched at:

http://darkshines.net/debian/dists/unstable/kxmleditor/source/

...and it is linda and lintian clean. It only haves one lintian warning, 
because upstream includes recursively one subdirectory, and forgots to remove 
the CVS dir.

Thanks in advance.

You forgot many things: mainly, that is a lot more important the source

This is the last release of Kubication. I've discontinued it because i've 
started writing a KDE daemon controled by a KControl Center Module for 
replacing Kubication, which IMHO is a much better solution. I expect to 
release it within one or two weeks. Anyway, if you find any bug in 
Kubication, please report it, because part of Kubication source code will be

If upstream is no longer supporting this package, I think it should not enter 
debian. Wait until he completes the new application, and then package it.

Silly me... I forgot to paste the URL O:-)))

You can add this to sources.list to fetch the package and the source:

deb http://darkshines.net/debian unstable kxmleditor
deb-src http://darkshines.net/debian unstable kxmleditor

Or you can simply browse the directories:
http://darkshines.net/debian/dists/unstable/kxmleditor/

Thanks again.

[RFS, RFA] kxmleditor: XML Editor for KDE

2004-08-16 Thread Alejandro Exojo
Hi.

This is a request for an sponsor of the package kxmleditor, which is up for 
adoption (bug #255299).

This version fixes a FTBFS release critical bug (#265680). The package is 
lintian and linda clean, and compiles without problems in pbuilder's chroot. 
The only warning I have, is because upstream hasn't cleaned completely the 
tarball, and has a CVS subdirectory under admin/. :-(

From the changes file:

 kxmleditor (1.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release
   * New mantainer (Closes: #255299)
   * Fixed FTBFS rebuilding against new kdelibs (Closes: #265680)
   * debian/control:
 - Corrected the description by a native English speaker ;-)
 - Moved section from "editors" to "kde"
 - Updated "Build-Depends" (changed libqt3-compat-headers to qt3-dev-tools
   greater than 3.3, because contains files created with designer 3.3)
   * debian/copyright: Reflex the work of all mantainers, and added the 
excerpt
 of the GPL.
   * debian/menu: Quoted all entries, and deleted obsolete "kderemove"
   * Changed DH_COMPAT to debian/compat
   * debian/rules: minor updates
   * shlibs.local: file removed


If you can not sponsor the package for any reason, I will welcome any other 
kind of feedback, of course. :-)

Thanks a lot.
Greetings.

Hi.

An easy question: Where should I put a package that can fit in two 
subsections? I'm looking in the policy, but it only lists which subsections 
exist, but not a brief description.

In my case, I'm trying to adopt kxmleditor, which actually is in section 
"editors", but I think "kde" is better, because don't bloats too much the 
other sections.

Thanks in advance.
Greetings.

How have you set up the QTDIR variable on your system?

If you look at KDE packages, for example, you will see that they set this 
variable to /usr/share/qt3, and others that maybe you will need. 
Check /usr/share/doc/kdelibs4-dev/Packaging.txt.gz for examples, if you like.

Have a look at a perl script that Dominique Devriese wrote. It reads the 
output of kfoobar --help, and converts it in a man page. I found it really 
useful. Its in kdesdk/scripts/kdemangen.pl

Use the debhelper templates that kdelibs4-dev provides (it includes a file 
with the kde dirs). There is also a helpful document 
in /usr/share/doc/kdelibs4-dev for KDE packaging.

Best regards.
