It should list the webpage where it can be downloaded from, whatever
it is (in your case it should be an SF project page).

One more note: I do not open a new bug for every upstream version,
just retitle the old one and Cc your RFS email to the bug email

They can be dropped (and, in fact, ignored completely) only if they
introduce additional restrictions conficting with the GPL itself. If
you're granting additional rights, you're free to grant them only
under a certain condition ("you're free to relicence this software
under a different license but you must keep this statement in tact").

While I don't have access to b43 hardware right now, I can gain such
access (both of my laptops with b43 hardware are now in possession of
my parents), so in theory I could do some testing if needed. No timing

My bad, there's indeed an error, probably I pushed something different
from what I tested, it should've probably called configure, not
check_auto_buildable. I'll have a look tomorrow and upload a fix.

It is not actually a bug to specify GPL-2.0, as both GPL-2 and GPL-2.0
are acceptable. I'd say otherwise, scripts Ian mentioned that do not
support GPL-2.0 are buggy, and the format specification requires the
dot-zero version number to be accepted as well.

I will happily sponsor your package, but there's a couple of things
you need to fix.

i) Vcs-* fields are used to point users to the maintainer's Git, not
the upstream's one (I've fixed that for you).

ii) You should test the watch file using uscan to see if it's actually
working (in yours, filenamemangle wasn't right, I have also fixed that
for you).

iii) There's too much boilerplate in the rules file. Please remove
things which aren't actually used. It's also a good idea to make use
of .PHONY.

iv) Why are you overriding dh_compress?

v) In the changelog, there's Closes: #. Please put a proper number
there (#808072, I suppose)?

I think it's appropriate to apply a patch (and submit it upstream) in
this case, as this is certainly a bug in the upstream makefile, and it
should be fixed.

Please install the latest bmake and use it (you have to build and test
your package on unstable anyway!), and it's not a big deal to patch
the Makefile after all, you just dropping the patch into the right
place.

Bug#791463: Quick review

[Andrew Shadura]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to note that with the latest bmake (20150606-1), it is
enough to have this in your debian/rules:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=bmake

And then you have to apply a patch to Makefile.in so that the Makefile
accepts and uses DESTDIR.

 I'm searching for someone (mentor? sponsor?) to help me with

 Encled is a script I wrote to manage LED indicators of hot-swap bays in
 servers with enclosures (backplanes). It allows to see neat table with
 slots/enclosures/disk letters, and allows to enable/disable indication for
 them. That script have been used in at least three different companies and
 all those years it was used as 'wget https://github...; chmod +x encled;
 ./encled'.

If you wish, I could help you improve what you've got. See the private message.

On 19 May 2014 05:03, Vincent Cheng vch...@debian.org wrote:
 - Why does debian/control now have Build-Conflicts: autoconf2.13, 
 automake1.4?

Probably because configure.in is for a newer autoconf, but doesn't
have AC_PREREQ(), so the autoconf wrapper incorrectly detects it as
autoconf2.13-compatible because of the name (.in). In my packages I
just replace an autoconf call by a call to autoconf2.50.

P.S. I haven't actually checked the package, this is just a guess
based on the symptoms :)

Re: Install /usr/bin/something from upstream source to /usr/bin/somethingon hdd?

[Andrew Shadura]

Patrick,

If you don't want to involve autoconf and friends, you may want to try
mk-configure, which is easier to use. It gives you install, clean and other
typically used targets for free, among more specific things. It's also
easily integrated with dh, you just need to build-depend on it and add
--buildsystem=mkcmake to your rules file.

 GNS3 uses Qt4-Linguist for the translations, which take a .ts file and

 The issue I currently face is that the .qm files aren't regenerated

 fix the bug.

 How do I include the updated .qm in a new build?

Use lrelease tool. Please have a look at openrpt package, I used it there.

Re: Question about Bugs

[Andrew Shadura]

Hello,

 I have a bug report that I've been working on from Ubuntu and have now
 managed to solve the issue.

 The bug in question also affects Debian, but there isn't a bug report
 in Debian for it.

 In the changelog I can close the Ubuntu bug with (LP: #XXX), but
 should I also file the bug report in Debian and close that as well?

I don't think that's needed. I just add a LP reference to the
changelog; in my opinion, it doesn't matter where the bug comes from,
the fact of it being solved is what's important.

By the way. How about upstream shipping a file in debian/copyright

Well, I wasn't entirely correct when I said incorrect. Incorrect is
calling LDLIBS LFLAGS. Also, it's a good idea to place libs after your
binaries, not before. But why do that when built-in rules work just
fine and make you Makefile a lot shorter?

 It was late, you're right. Well, you're wrong, but you're right. The
 *real* reason not to use this is because it's really more for
 end-users and sysadmins, like dpkg-divert. It'd add a dpkg entry that

Sorry, from your message I can't see where I'm wrong. build-time

 It's in the packaging manual, and it's been accepted. You should be

It's been accepted but it wasn't promoted to thing which is required.

 On one hand, some sponsors prefer DEP5, and wouldn't spend time
 looking at non-DEP5 sponsor requests (I'm one of these, see my other
 reasons further along).

If a prospective sponsor prefers DEP5, I have nothing against that;
that may be a reason to do the conversion. Or a really complicated
copyright/license situation can be (see forever unfinished libnatspec
packaging, even incomplete DEP5-alike debian/copyright was long enough).

 The main reason I prefer DEP5 is because it pretty much forces one to
 look through the licenses and copythights THROUGHLY, which makes both
 my job easier when reviewing, and the ftpmaster's job when they
 process the package through NEW. Being machine-readable is a good
 thing too, but the main selling point of DEP5 for me is its
 granularity.

It's not a matter of format, one can skip all the licenses in DEP5, or
specify everything needed in a plain human-readable (!) text file.

 So many times I've seen copyrights and licenses missed in a
 debian/copyright file, because one did not look further than the top
 level LICENSE file... DEP5 makes one dig deeper. Of course, one can do
 that without the format, but.. if you're going through it all
 throughly, and documenting it anyway... might as well do so in a
 format that's standardized in Debian Policy.

It doesn't really, because it's just a format.

 So I would strongly urge you to reconsider, and use DEP5. In the long
 run, I believe it's worth the effort.

Currently, it's a DEP5-like thing, but more human-readable. Easy to
convert, if needed, and still easily machine-greppable when needed.

P.S. Maybe we need some kind of d/copyright re-formatter, which would
parse DEP5 files and display their contents in real plain text which
doesn't 'kill all humans'? :)

For that to work properly, you have to call tcltk-depends during
package build process.

Tcl manpages need to be installed within section 3tcl or 3tk, not 3.

Also, why compat level 5? If you used 7 or later, dh_installchangelogs

 On the build side, I find the policy quite confusing: It says Build
 dependencies for Tcl/Tk dependent packages must be declared for every
 Tcl/Tk version, that the package is built for. In order to build for a
 specific version, add the versioned Tcl/Tk packages dependencies; it
 is generally better and recommended depending on the appropriate
 default packages with an eventual strict or relaxed versioning.

 Since the package can be build for 8.4 as well as for 8.5, what
 should I put into the Build-Depends and Depends? The old package used 

 Build-Depends: [...] tcl8.4-dev, tk8.4-dev
 Depends: [...] tcl|tcl8.5|tcl8.4|tcl8.3, tk|tk8.5|tk8.4|tk8.3

 Is it OK to just replace that with the unversioned relationships?

Tcl API is stable enough to just depend on the lowest version it builds
against; however, it's better to build-depend on unversioned packages
(eg tcl and tk instead of tcl8.5 and tk8.5) but use versioned
dependencies on unversioned packages for your binaries (like, tcl
(=8.5.0)). Also, please use tcltk-depends to put the correct versions
into Depends fields.
