Don't do this.

Using am epoch has to be agreed on in the project, and for good reasons. First 
and foremost, the epoch is not encoded into the package file name, thus causing 
trouble when in the future you get to upload 1:2.11.01.

Whether the maintainer is a team doesn't matter here (it just means I am
not responsible alone for the lack of updates on the package, haha ;)).

In general, you always contact the maintainer for every upload before
doing an NMU, through the address from the package meta-data or by
sending your changes to the BTS into the bug you are fixing.

> But I got no response from there(not DebianEdu

Can you point me to message IDs where you requested changes to be
uploaded?

Ideally, you should just send the changes to the BTS bug you are fixing,
and tag it "patch".

Re: New package: ITP or RFP ?

2023-06-20 Thread Dominik George
Hi,

> Is it ok for source code to be in Github?

No. In my opinion (and I am aware that sadly, the majority of the project 
probably does not share this opinion), that is a direct violation of Debian's 
Code of Conduct, and its Social Contract as well.

GitHub has discriminatory terms of use that contradict Debian's values. They 
exclude parts of our community as contributors, e.g. persons under 16 years and 
persons who are unlucky enough to live in Russia, Syria, and other US-embargoed 
countries.

Please do not use GitHub or comparably hostile platforms for Debian.

Thanks,
Nik

In debian/rules:

override_dh_auto_install:
dh_install -ppackage1 -Xexclude1 -Xexclude1
dh_install

This first installs into package1, excluding some files, then the second
call will install into all remaining binary packages.

I am hereby refraining from sponsoring your upload:

 1. You did not respond to my remarks (yet)
 2. Both upstreams said the fork is of minor code quality
 3. Efforts are being made to fix that
 4. Debian stable is not for temporary solutions

You might find someone else to sponsor your upload, so I leave this
bug open. Please keep in mind that in the case that someone uploads
your package, you are responsible to keep it updated, and probably
manually fix all issues yourself if upstream decides to work on
vanilla i3 instead, and are also responsible for tidying up once the
fork is merged into i3 itself if that happens ☺.

Again, thanks for your contribution, though!

I strongly support the view not to add i3-gaps as a separate package,

Thanks for your contribution! I looked into your package and have the
following remarks:

 * Did you talk to the i3-wm maintainer, Michael Stapelberg, about his
   opinion on this, and also about ways how to avoid the conflict
   between the packages and instead enable it to co-exist?

 * Your Recommends is a bit too "fat" IMHO. I would suggest keeping
   all that stuff aligned with the i3-wm package, and leave everything
   else to the i3 meta package. After upload, you can then ask the i3
   maintainer to include your i3-gaps package as alternative
   dependency in his i3 meta-package.

 * Please add a paragraph about what i3 is to your package
   description, not only the differences in i3-gaps.

 * Your d/copyright lists i3wm upstream as source rather than the fork,
   and also lists the original author as upstream contact. It should
   point to the GitHub source repo and list Ingo Bürk as upstream
   contact, While at it, please also look into whether Michael
   Stapelberg is the only copyright holder. At least Ingo's changes
   might be big enough to be separate copyrightable work. How did you
   verify the information you put into d/copyright?

 * I would prefer to have your packaging repository on
   salsa.debian.org.

 * Hmm, two almost exact copies of the same code in Debian in two
   conflicting packages? i3-gaps is a widely accepted fork I suppose,
   yes. What is Michael's opinion on that?

Please go through my remarks and comment each of them with what you
think about it, and whether you implemented it, will do so or
won't.

This is explicitly answered in [3] under prior-version:

If the conffile has not been shipped for several versions, and you are now 
modifying the maintainer scripts to clean up the obsolete file, prior-version 
should be based on the version of the package that you are now preparing, not 
the first version of the package that lacked the conffile. This applies to all 
other actions in the same way.

watch file - remove or only comments?

2016-10-11 Thread Dominik George
Hi,

I wonder what of these two options is the "correct" solution for an
upstream that is not watch'able (e.g. has no release tarballs, etc.) -
besides making upstream have release tarballs, that is ;):

 a) no watch file
 b) a watch file with only comments

In case a), lintian complains and proposes to place a watch file with a
comment explaining why it is otherwise empty [0].

In case b), (at least( the DMD [1] complains about empty uscan output.

I am tempted to say this is a bug in the DMD.

Any opinions (I won;t dare hoping for the one answer ;)).

Cheers,
Nik

It went to "found a sponsor, had to change something, did not reupload because 
sponsor does not use mentors" ;).

2016-09-28 Thread Dominik George
Hi Mattia,

thanks for looking at the package!

> so, this package is in DPMT, hence I'm looking only at the git repo.

I removed it from mentors and, as you are not far from sponsoring it ;),
did not re-upload the fixed version.

In case the sponsorship will not work out, I will re-upload it to
mentors for others.

> 
> blocking things:
>  * this package doesn't seem to be using git-dpm, as mandate by DPMT.

Sorry, I mistook a thread on debian-python as discouraging git-dpm.

However, I fixed that now, and made the repo work with git-dpm.

>

Done (all three).

I verified the package still builds and is lintian clean.

Cheers,
Nik

Then, obviously, they should apply for DM.

Seriously, I think we should stop begging for more. Valve's (subsidiary's) 
offer is a very kind move and I'd not abuse that community attitude.

The package is an important core dependency for Geierlein, which is
needed by German small businesses to communicate with fiscal
authorities. I am working on getting Geierlein into Debian to get rid of
one more point in the average companz's workflow ehere they still depend
on Windows.

I have worked together on the package with Helmut Grohne, who did a
first review. I would not mind managing the package as co-maintainer
under the pkg-javascript umbrella if that is desired, though.

>[2] http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/watch?pkg=vpcs_0.5b0-1

In that special case, I'd even say your versioning "mistake" is good because 
upstream's ~ notation is a mess. That char is reserved for Debian ;) (yes, 
that's false and not so humble ;))!

Why not keep your version numbering as it is and use version mangling in the 
watch file instead to match.upstream?

In any case, you should go and slap upstream for that very hard, but how is it 
an issue for packaging, assuming the build runs fine in both cases?

Bug#729601: RFS: vokoscreen/1.8.1-1 [ITP] -- easy to use screencast creator

2013-11-16 Thread Dominik George
Hi,

to the maintainer and any sponsor:

** Please do a very, very careful license review! **

We had a very long discussion about this software at debianforum.de
[0][1][2] because the upstream author wanted us to test the software,
but was reluctant to grant us a view at the code all through the thread
until we finally forced them. So any review that was be done is
incomplete, and upstream's attitude justifies a very careful review of
whether the code was now really fully opened or not.

Do you know what /export/build/glimpse/bld/glimpse-4.18.5/debian/tmp/ is?

Tadaa ... it is ${DESTDIR}. Which leads us to the conclusion that, as

Hmm, then their stance on open source and licensing is silly and wie cannot 
distribute the code. Sad but true, what can you do :).

FOSS needs careful licensing, not caring does not help the community.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was intending to say :)! Sorry if my wording was 
unclear.

The point is that the GPL does not, or better, cannot, limit the original 
author's rights, and so it would be perfectly OK if they distributed their own 
binaries they linked against OpenSSL while still noone else is allowed to do so.

That said, I my personal opinion is that doing the above is plain nonsense from 
a FOSS point of view, and if upstream's intention is to produce open software, 
they have to respond to the license issue.

To make the other part clear: You must not distribute GPL code linked against 
OpenSSL if the exception is missing, so it cannot enter Debian, neither main 
nor one of the other suites.

Cheers,
Nik

Dear mentors,

I have worked closely together with Javier on fixing issues with his
youtube-cli (formerly yt) package. It appears to be of good quality now,
and I found Javier to be a good teamplayer and accepting and reacting to
criticism really well, so I'd consider him fit for maintainership of the
package.

I'd really love to see youtube-cli in Debian.

This is at first nothing more than the Standards-Version field in

Sorry to disapoint you, but you should read *all of* DPM before passing

No. It is safe to say that if, and only if, you bump the
Standards-Version field to 3.9.4 and *then* have lintian be silent.

Hi,

Yes, each upload should increase the Debian revision, and contain a
changelog that hustifies the new revision. There are exceptions where
the Debian revision is changed with some other pattern, e.g.
non-maintainer uploads.

However, the first upload of an upstream version to the Debian archive
should reset the Debian revision to 1.

I think the current compatibility level is 8, not 9.

Re: skype4py, any sponsors?

2013-09-03 Thread Dominik George
Hi,

I do not see why this should be supported by Debian. Skype is proprietary and, 
allegedly, malicious spyware that we should not encourage our users to use.

IMHO you should go support Telepathy or some other framework that allow 
programming for less malicious software.

Please review: geierlein - free Elster client for German tax declarations

2013-06-06 Thread Dominik George
Hi,

following up on RFP #695204, I have started packaging the Geierlein client 
needed
by German folks to send VAT declarations to the fiscal authorities. It is quite 
an
important package as our authorities do not provide a Linux version of their 
official
client. Geierlein is the successor of taxbird, which was incuded in Debian until
it got abandonned.

There are two issues I see with the package that I would like to get feedback 
on:

 - I had to remove test cases from upstream's build system as the module used
   for it, nodeunit, is not available in Debian as a build dependency. I think
   this is not a problem as testing is mainly upstream's and the maintainer's 
job
   and moreover, the package is JavaScript code that is not platform-dependant.
   So if xulrunner works on any architecture, it can be expected that Geierlein
   will as well. Build daemons thus will not face problems there. My person 
stance
   on that is: The package can be handled without unit testing for now, and for
   the future, I have filed an RFP for nodeunit (#711353).

 - Geierlein uses some JavaScript libraries that Debian does not (yet) include.
   The libraries, especially the versions that Geierlein is known to work with,
   are included in the upstream tarball and are installed in a package-private
   location that will not interfere with others. My personal stance on that is:
   The package can be handled with including the libraries now, maybe once the
   libraries get added to Debian this can be changed, but it is not a must.

Please find the package on mentors.debian.net:

 https://mentors.debian.net/package/geierlein

Cheers,
Nik

No, why should it? That's the whole point of the test before the call of
a2enmod. If it doesn't exist, it is never called.

I CC'ed debian-security on this bugreport. I am not fmailiar with uploads 
to squeeze-security and was hoping for support from the pkg-mediawiki 
team. Finally, I figured that an RFS with Cc to debian-security was better 
than doing nothing for getting the issues fixed.

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my version 1:1.15.5-2squeeze4.1 of package 
"mediawiki". It is an upload for squeeze-security to fix the security 
issues in bug #694998. I ahve prepared a new upstream version for unstable 
which will migrate to testing shortly and I also backported the fixes to 
the version in squeeze. I have tested them in a clean squeeze chroot and 
they work fine.

Unfortunately, no-one in the pkg-mediawiki team actually seems to care for 
squeeze as, while my mail concerning unstable were answered, I 
still haven't received any comment whatsoever on the squeeze-security update
for several days.

Package name: mediawiki
Version : 1:1.15.5-2squeeze4.1
Section : web

It builds those binary packages:

 mediawiki  - website engine for collaborative work
 mediawiki-math - math rendering plugin for MediaWiki

following URL:

Changes since the last upload:

 mediawiki (1:1.15.5-2squeeze4.1) squeeze-security; urgency=low

   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * Backported security fixes from upstream (Closes: #694998):
 + CVE-2012-5391, CVE-2012-5395
   Prevent session fixation in Special:UserLogin
 + Prevent linker regex from exceeding backtrack limit

I intentionally did not touch any lintian warning that were not introduced 
by these changes to make the changes to squeeze minimal and only 
security-related.

Package name: python-webob

Please note that the package produces two lintian warnings, but those were 
already in the previous version and were not introduced with the bugfix. 
To ease the work for the release team (concerning the freeze exception to 
be made for the bugfix) and to not touch the maintainer's work more than 
necessary for the bugfix, I ignored these warnings.

love to see the upload happen so things can go on in a few days!

Currently, I do not really plan on doing more work on the package, just RC 
bug fixing.

Michael, please send follow-ups directly adressing the author of a bug 
report to the original author as well, not only to the BTS ...

Cheers,
Nik

apart from that, wouldn't lucid be just a bit outdated either ;) ?

I know what local changes are. And I *want* any of these changes to be
lost when a package is updated.

As I mentioned in my very first mail, this is a repository of packages for
*local* deployment, to systems *I* maintain, that are supposed to be
*stock* installations with *no* modifications watsoever, and that are
*never* touched by anyone except me.

Re: CHowning files - or not?

2010-02-26 Thread Dominik George



I do wonder why some scripts have to be owned by a particular user
instead of root, could you explain this?
   
Although I don't see how this answers my question, it is intended to 
have the execution of these scripts limited to users within a group.


Please read debian-policy 10.9 and 10.9.1:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.9

In short, use dpkg-statoverride in postinst.

   
OK, as it is done in postinst, there does not seem to be a difference to 
my current chown setup. dpkg-statoverride will make sure that the 
permissions are set everytiem the file is re-installed, but chown in 
postinst will as well ...

CHowning files - or not?

2010-02-25 Thread Dominik George

Hi,

I am packaging some scripts (for local distribution), so I am both 
upstream and maintainer ;).


The sources tree includes a Makefile providing the default targets for 
building and installing.


The preinst script creates a system user, and this is the user the 
scripts should be owned by (they will be called from a somewhat more 
complicated environment, for now, it's easier if you trust me that this 
is the way it has to be ;)).


Now, my problem is, how do I ensure that the scripts extracted from the 
package will be owned by this user? There are two ways I could think of:


- Have the /usr/bin/isntall command in the source Makefile install the 
files with the correct uid/gid

- Do a lot of chown in postinst

The problem with the first is that it is run at build time, not at the 
"real" install time, an files in the Debian package will probably be 
fakeroot'ed (or something else that spoild my whol uid/gid stuff). The 
latter one doesn't really fit in with Debian Policy Manual - or if it 
does, the better this is ;). But it still looks "unclean" ...


Can someone provide me with a somewhat comprehensive approach to this?

Cheers,
Nik

RFS: twittare

2009-05-12 Thread Dominik George
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "twittare". Of course, a check and 
constructive criticism beforehand would be great ;).

* Package name: twittare
  Version : 0.7.42-1
  Upstream Author : Tabaré Caorsi 
* URL : http://www.twittare.com
* License : GPL-3+
  Section : net

It builds these binary packages:
twittare   - A twitter client for Linux written in Qt

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 528273

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/twittare
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/twittare/twittare_0.7.42-1.dsc

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

Kind regards
 Dominik George

Packaging without Makefile

2008-04-23 Thread Dominik George
Hello mentors,

I am just packaging my Pidgin Last.fm Plugin for Debian and am wondering how
to get a .changes file. The problem is that the plugin consists of a single
perl script which is copied to /usr/lib/pidgin. What I already did is:

   - Create a fodler structure with the file system tree I want to merge
   - Added a DEBIAN folder
   - Created a control file
   - Added changelog, copyright notice and such to the usr/share/doc part
   of the tree
   - Ran dpkg -b in order to get a .deb package out of that
   - Checked that everything is lintian-clean

But all I am left with is a .deb file - so nothing I could upload to
mentors.debian.net or such. All guides I could find explain how to either
build a source package or how to use dh_make - which needs a Makefile that
compiles the sources. As I already mentioned, I don't have either of that.

So what is the correct way to build the package?

Best regards,
Nik
