Hi,


Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.1.0.4+repacknot1-1
of my package "assaultcube-data".

It builds these binary packages:
assaultcube-data - data files for AssaultCube
assaultcube-server-anticheat - AssaultCube server with closed source
anti-cheat module

The changes are:
* Update manpages
 - CC-BY-NC-SA (previous license was incorrect given content used)
 - Few formatting fixes
   * Update debian/copyright
 - Note license of manpages
 - "Files:" headers pointing at directory instead of license file.
   * Update debian/rules to dh7 format
   * New package: assaultcube-server-anticheat, installs upstream
server binaries
   * Create a wrapper script for the server with "--help" for manpage
   * Don't repack anymore.


[...]

Thanks a lot for updating this package. Yet the new non-repacking leaves some
doubts to me:

- "Don't repack anymore." is a nice hint that something has changed, but yet it
   left me to find this out myself via the debdiff.
- Using "repacknot1" as version appears to be a cruel hack. Ideally we'd have a
   new upstream version that could be packaged, but if that doesn't happen
   soonish, we'll have to live with that hack. (Introducing an epoch doesn't 
seem
   like a better solution either...)
- Why do server binaries belong to a "data" package? Isn't that just a hack to
   avoid a new source package?
- The original license appears to disallow re-packaging/splitting, hence there
   must be some exclusive exception provided to Debian. This is, however, not
   detailed in the copyright file.

Best regards,
Michael



Hello.

- True, I've changed it to read "Upstream tarball no longer repacked; 
binaries not removed since used", would this be reasonably verbose?


- Yeah, 1.1.0.5 is in the works, but when is very uncertain (maybe this 
year...).
I discussed the renaming on IRC (mentors/games) and it seemed like this 
was the most reasonable solution.


- Would splitting it into two source packages be better, it seems a tad 
unnecessary?
Upstream distributes one "AC" package with precompiled binaries and data 
for "compile-less" usage (which Debian uses only for data currently), 
and an AC-source package, which Debian uses to create the packages with 
the binaries.
Since the binaries comes in the upstream tarball which Debian calls 
"-data" I guessed it would be best to use this source package as-is..


- Noted (complicates the current deletion of the binaries as well, I 
guess), I've sent the question of special permission for the Debian 
project to the main project people, we'll see where that discussion leads.



Thanks for reviewing! :)

Done and re-uploaded to mentors, I assume you meant to simply remove the
Closes: stanza.

Yes, I meant exactly that. Are you sure you uploaded it? When I dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/l/lugaru-data/lugaru-data_0~20110520.1+hge4354-1.dsc
 the closes: stanza is still there?

Greetings - Fuddl


Ah, that's the old version, since before I changed to place it in non-free.
Annoying that those still remain on the server unreplaced...

- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/l/lugaru-data/lugaru-data_0~20110520.1+hge4354-1.dsc

should hopefully get you the current version

Hi Arand,

at a quick review of lugaru I found the following issues:

The desktop-file-validate utility (package desktop-file-utils) spit out:
lugaru.desktop: error: value "1.1" for key "Version" in group "Desktop
Entry" is not a known version

Ah, right, I was reading the FD 1.1 *draft*, missing the hint in the 
word draft :) changed.



lugaru.desktop and lugaru.menu:
Please supply the full path to the binary or wrapper script like
Exec=/usr/games/lugaru to avoid messing with users' PATH environment
variable.

Ok, I was going by the example here 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apa.html 
which did not have this.


I've changed Exec to use /usr/games/lugaru and TryExec to 
/usr/lib/games/lugaru/lugaru (the actual binary), I'm not sure if this 
makes perfect sense, but it made some to me.



In lugaru-data debian/control says Section: contrib/games. I didn't
notice any dependency or build-dependency on a package from the non-free
section, so lugaru-data goes either into main or into non-free.

Yeah, I noticed that before and it should already be changed. The -data 
package should be non-free (due to the "non-revenue" license).



The binary package lugaru-data has a circular dependency on lugaru. It
should be Enhances: lugaru.


Oops, Changed.


Cheers - Fuddl


Thanks for reviewing! I've uploaded new packages to mentors with these 
changes.

RFS: lugaru (new package)

2011-06-07 Thread Arand Nash 

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my packages "lugaru" and "lugaru-data".

* Package names   : lugaru
  : lugaru-data
  Versions: 0~20110520.1+hge4354+dfsg-1
  : 0~20110520.1+hge4354-1
  Upstream Authors: Wolfire Games 
  : Neal Gompa 
  : Alexander Monakov 
  : Côme BERNIGAUD 
  : sf17k
* URL : http://code.google.com/p/lugaru/
  : http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru
* License : GPL-2+, CC-BY-SA, "freeware"
  Section : contrib/games
  : non-free/games

They build these binary packages:
lugaru - third-person action game
lugaru-data - data for the third-person action game lugaru

The packages appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix the ITP bug: 626156 (and partly the RFP bug: 607965)

My motivation for maintaining this package is: It being a great indie 
game, having an active upstream, and being something one would expect to 
be packaged, being famously (though partly) Open Sourced.


History lesson:
Icculus  did the initial porting 
to GNU/Linux an was the initial repository when the source was released, 
the main hub has now moved to  from 
where the current packaging stems (with major contributions from the 
"r/amonakov-lugaru" an "p/lugaru-experimental" repositories).
Inititally Only the source was freely licensed, Wolfire later licensed 
the game data as freeware, and recently a large chunk of it under 
CC-BY-SA. Not enough to package the whole into main currently though.


The packages can be found on mentors.debian.net:

- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/l/lugaru
 : http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/l/lugaru-data
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable

  dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/l/lugaru-data/lugaru-data_0~20110520.1+hge4354-1.dsc


The VCS for lugaru is up for inspection at 
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-games/lugaru.git


I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
