bplay: help needed!

2005-02-03 Thread Carlos Laviola
Hello,

bplay seems to be in a bad shape. It has numerous bug reports about
endianness/byteswapping problems, which I can't verify, since I only
own x86 hardware.

So I'd like to ask some kind person to take a look at it, try to run
it on your architecture and verify if the bugs are still valid,
possibly even look at the code, but don't send me patches yet; just
hint me on what might be wrong, if you can, so I can fix it myself and
learn a bit more. I've applied other peoples's patches to bplay in the
past and it's probably gotten to a very bad point right now.

I've looked at #267122 and it seems like semaphores are being freed,
but since I have no time or source material to record from using brec,
I can't test it myself. The code seems to do the right thing, though.

(also, when you download bplay's source code, ignore the latest
changelog entry.)

Thanks in advance, people!

Sincerely,
Carlos.

Problem with shlibs

2002-09-06 Thread Carlos Laviola

Hi,

A package that I maintain -- mp3blaster -- doesn't include libsidplay1
as a dependency, even though it links against it.  I hadn't noticed that
because I thought everything was working fine, as I hadn't tried to
install the package on a cleaner system or a chroot or anything.
Anyway: should I declare the dependency manually, or is there a way to
make dpkg-shlibdeps recognize libsidplay1 as one of the dependencies?

TIA, Carlos.

Yes, I would like to know of an easy way to release frequent (weekly,

 I am also very interested on this subject, but have limited experience.
 Just `cvs export` or `cvs-buildpackage` so far :-)

That would be cool if one wanted to maintain a CVS repository of his

Get a more bare-bones shell, like 'ash', and try to run your code thru it.

Call for help with mp3kult's postinst

2001-05-18 Thread Carlos Laviola

Hello, people,

I'm packaging mp3kult (see #94999), and having a bit of trouble to make
a perfect debconfized postinst for it. I already have a few nice tests
that ensure a more or less smooth installation, but some other tests
I plan to include would require MySQL knowledge, which I, unfortunately,
do not possess yet (gotta read that O'Reilly book at the library one day).
Well, I'd like to ask someone with a medium/good knowledge of MySQL to
give me one on one help with mp3kult's postinst. The sources are available
at http://people.debian.org/~claviola/debs.

Thank you,
Carlos.

Don't worry, if there is something wrong with your package, you'll
receive a message, which will include the address in
incoming.debian.org where you'll find the error report. New packages
take a little longer than existing packages because afaik the
(manual) permission from the ftp-master is required.

uploading to stable

2001-04-07 Thread Carlos Laviola

Hi people,

One of my packages (ibrazilian  brazilian-conjugate), as in stable currently,
is buggy. The version in unstable gracefully fixes them, while it doesn't
include any new features (it's a new upstream version, but there is nothing
that would screw things up just because of the code changes). What I want to
know is, how can I get the package in stable (proposed-updates, at least..),
since I'm not supposed to release for both unstable  stable?

Thanks,
Carlos

Build-Depends

2001-04-02 Thread Carlos Laviola
Hi,

I am packaging zclock, a clock applet for GNOME, and it depends on a lot of
gnome libs and headers to compile. While I was able to determine a few of the
-dev packages I must declare as build-dependencies, I am sure that I'm missing
some. What do you do to ensure that your packages aren't missing build-depends?

Thanks,
Carlos

 What do you mean by `go outside of /usr/doc'?
 Currently /usr/doc/package should still be there (it is a symlink). Read
 section 13.4 of policy.
 Or did I misunderstood you?

Yes. I'm afraid I used a confusing wording. What I meant was that I wanted to
make the packages do the transition from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc, not that I
wanted to stop creating the symlink. In fact, I *want* it to create the
symlink, but it seems like it doesn't:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -ld /usr/doc/ibrazilian/
drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 Mar 30 00:12 /usr/doc/ibrazilian/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

I'm beginning to get annoyed :(

Thanks,
Carlos

You're not supposed to put the manpage wherever you want to, even if it is a X
program. dh_installman puts the manpages into their respective sections, e.g.
if you have foo.1, it'll be but on section 1. If you have foo.1x, it'll be but
at /usr/X11R6/man/man1 for being in X's section 1.

Sponsorship for oonsoo and xdiskusage

2001-03-05 Thread Carlos Laviola
Hello folks,

I have two packages ready waiting until I get my own account or a
sponsorship, available at the following apt-gettable location:

deb http://www.brfree.com.br/~claviola/debian unstable main
deb-src http://www.brfree.com.br/~claviola/debian unstable main

If you think the packages are ok to be uploaded and would like to sponsor
them, please contact me. Note that oonsoo is currently orphaned and has a
bug tagged serious (#84651) filed against it (which I fixed) and xdiskusage
has been RFP'ed two weeks ago.

Thanks,
Carlos
