I suggest uploading new upstream releases to experimental to know the
behavior in each architecture. For MISSING lines, an easy fix is to
exclude the fault architectures. E.g. to exclude i386 and x32:

(arch=!i386 
!x32)(c++)"gensios::gensio_cpp_vlog_handler(gensios::gensio_os_funcs*,
gensios::gensio_log_levels, char const*, __va_list_tag*)@Base"

Note that the current source code in Github dropped the CRLF in
several files. To compare the old version with the current version via
diff, in a separate directory, you could use dos2unix. In src/, the
command "file *" will help to see all files using CRLF. This procedure
is a workaround for 698359#10.

For me it sounds like the tracker page updated the rule from the watch

Hi Hilmar,

My suggestion is always to use "releases" instead of "tags". Also, you
should use uversionmangle instead of filenamemangle.

version=4
opts=uversionmangle=s/-//g \
https://github.com/TeXworks/manual/releases archive/(\d\S+)\.tar\.gz

Hi Roger,

I cast a glance at your debian/watch file. You are using a rule
provided by the original debian/watch template. Personally, I don't
really like this format because I think it is very complex. You can
watch directly the "releases" link from any GitHub project. I intend
to help you with a light format.

There are several possibilities. I will show you two solutions. The
first solution is search for one or more digits (\d+), followed by a
dot (\.), followed by any character except blank spaces (\S+). It is a
Perl Regex. See below:

version=4
https://github.com/shadowsocks/v2ray-plugin/releases
.*/archive/v?(\d+\.\S+)\.tar\.(?:bz2|gz|xz)

Note that "v" (from version) is optional (v?) and we will accept
.tar.bz2, .tar.gz and .tar.xz extensions.

Another way is downgrading all versions starting with 2019. In this
case we can use any digit followed by any character except blank
spaces (\d\S+).

version=4
opts=uversionmangle=s/2019/0.2019/ \
https://github.com/shadowsocks/v2ray-plugin/releases
.*/archive/v?(\d\S+)\.tar\.(?:bz2|gz|xz)

There are several other solutions. In your original debian/watch (I
don't like this format) you can combine the last solution.

Hum, a good catch. I never tested this procedure. But it is a
interesting thing to try. You can test it and use lime-forensics
(already packaged) + strings/grep commands to do a quick analysis. I
will test it soon. But it seems a good idea too.

Re: Best GPG practices before sending computer to maintenance.

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi Charles,

I am a forensics teacher.

There is another point to be considered: the RAM memory. The data,
commonly, pass across RAM and is easy get the key from a memory dump
(even if the computer was turned off). So, after take care of the SDD,
you need to wipe the RAM. An 'apt-get install secure-delete' wil
provide sdmem command, that will wipe the RAM. I suggest to use a
live-CD or flash drive with Debian to boot in shell only mode and run
sdmem. You can install Debian in a flash drive and use it. It is easy
to do.

Re: Help needed with symbols index in package

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi Jonathan,

Initially, your package doesn't build in a fresh jail because needs
extra-cmake-modules, libkf5kdelibs4support-dev and pkg-config in
Build-Depends field. Please, always use cowbuilder or pbuilder to test
if your package builds.

About the symbols, the problem is that dpkg-gensymbols is generating
complementary symbols and those have a Debian revision. See below:

dpkg-gensymbols: warning: debian/libkpmcore1/DEBIAN/symbols doesn't

The dpkg-gensymbols is invoked by dh_makeshlibs. From dh_makeshlibs manpage:

-- params
   Pass params to dpkg-gensymbols(1).

>From dpkg-gensymbols manpage:

   -vversion
  Define the package version. Defaults to the version
extracted from debian/changelog. Required if called outside
  of a source package tree.


So, you can use '-- -v1.9.50' to avoid a version as 1.9.50-1. However,
is better always to use the current version. To do it, you can use an
override in debian/rules. An example:


#!/usr/bin/make -f

export PVER=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog --show-field version | cut -d"-" -f1)

%:
 dh $@

override_dh_makeshlibs:
 dh_makeshlibs -- -v$(PVER)
---


Other datail is that is a good idea upload the first version to
experimental to see how to the library will build. So you will able to
can fix the issues (if necessary) and reupload to unstable.

I hope this help.

Bug#797407: RFS: node-mocha-lcov-reporter/0.0.2-1 -- LCOV reporter for Mocha

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi guys,

As an extra tip, don't use 'extra' as 'priority' (d/control) if your
package doesn't conflict with other[1]. I suggest 'optional'.

[1] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities

I can see 2011 in 'LICENSES' and 2015 in last release on GitHub. So, I
suggest 2011-2015 for upstream copyright years (d/copyright).

- I suggest you to organize better the ideas. Try to use a logical
order. You can sort the itens by events (Added, Changed, Removed,
Updated, etc) or by main events followed by files (debian/control,
debian/copyright, etc). For the latter case, you can see an example
here[1].

- Please, remove the unnecessary double spaces.

- Use debian/file for all files inside the debian/ directory, as
debian/watch ans debian/patches/desktop_entry_issue.patch.

- Use '$ spell changelog | sort -u' and '$ spell control | sort -u' to
search for spelling errors, as 'Dependeces'.

[1] 
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/l/lime-forensics/unstable_changelog

3. d/control: you found a new upstream homepage to use in d/watch. So,
why you removed the Homepage field from d/control?

4. debian/copyright:

- The updated notice in d/changelog is a bit generic because you did
several modifications.

- I found this text in upstream source code:

mirage-Mirage is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
mirage-it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
mirage-the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or
mirage-(at your option) any later version.

mirage.py-Mirage is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
mirage.py-it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
mirage.py-the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or
mirage.py-(at your option) any later version.

So, the source code is GPL-3+, not GPL-3. You need to use the
following command to check this situation:

$ egrep -sriA25 '(copyright|public dom)' *

- There are several authors in po/ directory.

- You must to list all packagers in debian/* block. You can use the
following command to search for all:

$ egrep '(--|\[)' debian/changelog

5. d/watch: your configuration produces notices about invalid
character in version number (two underscores).

6. You must always check the PTS[2] to search for bugs, tips etc. In
bugs list I can see a relevant bug that you can close: #773997.

Hi Alexander,

Please:

1. d/control:

- Use the new URL format for collab-maint in Vcs-Browser field
(http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/task-spooler.git/).

2. d/copyright:

- The upstream code is GPL-2, not GPL-2+.

- The main.c and server.c files show that the 0.7.5 version is
copyrighted as 2007-2013.

- I think that is a bit weird use the copyright word twice in the
same line. I suggest remove the extra word.

- Note that the ts.1 file has a different license.

- The web/ts-0.5.4.ebuild has a different author.

3. The PORTABILITY, PROTOCOL and README files are useless to final
users. Please, consider remove these files from d/docs.

4. There is a typo in description of the cppflags.patch patch.

5. The 'blhc --all task-spooler_0.7.5-1_amd64.build' command shows
lots of missing arguments to improve the hardening. You can fix this
adding this line[1] to d/rules:

export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all

 I've updated noweb to fix bug #781099, which has already been unblocked
 by the release team (#781529), but I am unable to upload because I no
 longer have a key in the keyring, due to my 1024D being disabled and my
 4096R not being connected enough.  So I'm looking for someone to sponsor
 this upload.  The package is in otherwise good shape, and will hopefully
 I will have my 4096R key enabled before another upload is needed.

Re: Help with watch file needed

My suggestion:

 Hello!

 Can someone help me with the watchfile for the current libvncserver
 sourcepackage?

 https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libvncserver

 I am trying to package a new upstream version, but the current watchfile
 cannot download/extract the newest upstream version. I already spend
 some time trying to fix it, but honestly I am lost what the problem
 could be.

 I cloned the available git repository for this package at:
 git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/libvncserver.git

 When I try a gbp import-orig --uscan, I get the following error output:

 The current maintainer (cc) seems to be busy. He also filed a RFA bug @

 I am lost on this.

 Thank you and greetings.

Bug#758163: Subject: RFS: kcm-ufw/0.4.3-1 ITP

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi Shawn,

I uploaded your package to experimental, to honor the Jessie freeze policy[1].

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto

 Hi Eriberto,
 I found time to work on kcm-ufw this week.
 I manually rechecked (and documented) all the source tree files for copyrights
 and cross-checked against your previous e-mails.
 I also consulted here just to be extra safe:
 https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#file-syntax

 Copyright issues should be fixed.
 This upload also contains the fixed github links I contacted you about a few
 weeks ago.
 I hope everything is in order.
 Thanks,
 --Shawn

  Eriberto,
  You are right. I did a horrible job on my last few uploads. I will attempt
  to prevent future mistakes of this kind by keeping more rigid personal
  documentation of what needs to be done before I upload.
 
  This time I am 100% sure that I fixed the Github links. One of the URLs I
  copied from the Github website was an SSH link. I did not realize at first
  (though it should have been obvious in retrospect) that these would only
  work with my private SSH key. When I realized this error, I fixed the
  offending link and tested it from a separate user account, so that the
  results would not be biased by any special configuration. I was
  successfully able to clone my Github repository. I have attached a text
  file with the terminal output and uploaded the changed control file to
  github.
  Regarding the copyright file, I'm going to keep records on every file I
  have checked so as not to forget any files in the source tree. I'm
  pushing the updated URLs to my Github repository, but I will wait to
  upload to Debian mentors until I have thoroughly rechecked the copyright
  file for any missing information or formatting errors. I'm sorry that I
  have caused you so much trouble. I will not let such mistakes happen
  again.

  times.
 
  You pasted the information about copyright without check the files
  (dates, names, email addresses).
 
  You didn't use the right formatting when put the new information in
  d/copyright.
 
  I checked file by file for you (it is your obligation, not mine),
  searching the correct information about copyright and you dumped these

   In d/control, your Vcs-Git still pointing to an invalid address.
  
   In d/copyright:
  - helper/kcm_ufw_helper.py.cmake has copyright by Craig Drummond
  
   and Darwin M. Bautista.
  
  - helper/helper.h and helper/helper.cpp are licensed under GPL 2+.
  - po/es.po has '2011 Kubuntu-es.org' as author. (see the header and
  
   Last-Translator line)
  
  - po/lt.po: the copyright year is 2011 only.
  - add po/fr.po. 2011 Sergio Guibert and Kubuntu-fr.org.
  
   About the excessive lines at end of files, you removed the final LF/CR
   in all files. You must press ENTER one time in each final line. So,
   the cursor will appear under the first character of the each last
   line.
  
   These are the last changes to upload the package. I will wait for you.

 Hi Pierre,

 You is very very near an upload.

 Note that file data/ui/about-dialog.ui is GPL-3+ (not GPL-3). So, you
 need to create a section for this file in d/copyright.

 Considering that you need to modify the copyright file, I will make a
 new request for you. Please, add a reference about you, Debian and
 free usage of the manpage. This is important because manpages are
 published in several sites (without the source code) and someone might
 want to contact you. You can see an example here[1]. (go to the end of
 page)

 3.
 - I am not sure I understand. It does use the 1.0
 format.
 - Where should I list the upstream authors? I don't
 see
 a
 field
 for
 this in the 1.0 format.






 You can consult any copyright in Debian packages to see an
 example.
 You can use these:





 http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/netmate/unstable_copyright





 http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/e/ext4magic/unstable_copyright




 I edited the copyright file. Is it OK now?





 The format is right now. However, you must to list all upstream
 authors and licenses in d/copyright. See the second example above
 (ext4magic). You can use this command to help you: 'grep -sriA25
 copyright *'.


 6. I have added a generic README.source about quilt. Is this OK?






 No. My idea was talk about the original debian directory removed
 from
 upstream code.




 I've added a sentence explaining this. Is this enough? (There is no
 special
 step needed, as dpkg-source -x takes care of replacing the debian
 folder.)




 Yes. Perfect.

Hi Dmitry. Please:

1. Read again my observation about d/changelog. Update the date too.
Another example here[1].

[1] 
http://sources.debian.net/src/yowsup/0.0~git20140314.938cf1-1/debian/changelog/

2. d/control: update the Standards-Version to 3.9.6 (Lintian will say
about it when you update the date in d/changelog).

3. d/copyright:
 - You must to use debian/* instead of */debian.
 - I suggest you put the BSD-3-clause text in end of file, instead
of start position in file.
 - I saw that you used 'public domain' in your manpage. You must
put it in d/copyright or remove this license. So, your manpage will be
GPL-3+.

4. d/rules: do you have a bargage from old 'override_dh_installman'.
Please, remove the 'dh_installman: debian/cligh.1' line.

5. d/watch: this file doesn't work. Please, fix this.

 Yes, you can remove it. It will be rebuilt by 'debuild'.

  2014-09-26 19:50 GMT+01:00 Bruno Nova brunomb.n...@gmail.com:
 
  I uploaded a new package to Mentors (also updated the source tarball).
  I think I fixed all issues/suggestions.
 
   src/pc/DrMIPS/src/com/jtattoo/* was copyrighted in 2002, not 2012.
   Please, use '2002 and later', not '2012+'. I suggest the original
   text
   '2002 and later by MH Software-Entwicklung'.
 
  Thank you! Don't know how I failed that.
 
   5.d/links: I didn't understand your intend with this file.
  
   I added a patch to the package to install the PDF manuals to
   /usr/share/doc/drmips/manuals, and used the debian/links file to
   create
   a
   link from /usr/share/drmips/doc to /usr/share/doc/drmips/manuals
   (this
   is
   acceptable, right?).
  
  
  Ok, I understand your concern but it is unusual. All packages put
   their docs in /usr/share/doc/. I suggest to remove this link. But I
   won't impose this.
 
  I changed to source code of the simulator. Now, if the ./doc folder
  doesn't exist, it opens the folder where make install installs the
  manuals
  to (if it exists).
  So, debian/links and the patch were removed, and this issue is solved.
  (Should have done this earlier)
 
   Ok!
  
   You can remove the d/docs files because upstream changelog will be
   automaticaly detected by DebHelper.
 
  That's interesting. I compiled the package in Ubuntu, and the upstream
  changelog was not detected automatically.
  It seems dh_installchangelogs was changed in Ubuntu to not install the
  upstream changelog:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debhelper/+bug/637176
  I still removed the debian/docs file. Please check if the upstream
  changelog is detected in Debian. I didn't have the time to test this in
  Debian yet.

 I forgot something about copyrights.

 JTattoo is multiple licensed, but only GPLv2 and v3 can be used for free,
 it's necessary to pay to use the other licenses. Do I list those licenses as
 well in debian/copyright?


No. In this case you must put the used license.


 Most files in cmake/Modules/ contained only a pointer to the full copyright
 text, and asked to replace that by the full license in Copyright.txt if
 distributed outside of CMake, which I did in the upstream source code.
 However, I don't know what to do to the Copyright ... lines. Leave them
 intact (what I did), merge them with the Copyright lines from the
 Copyright.txt, or replace them?


Leave the original copyright line. Here I understood that this file
was made by an external author (from KDE) only.

Hi again Ruben,

About your package, please:

1. d/control:
  - Change DH level from 9.0.0 to 9.

2. You have Lintian messages:

I: libfyba0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfygm.so.0.0.0
I: libfyba0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfyut.so.0.0.0
I: libfyba0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfyba.so.0.0.0

After the debuild command you need generate symbols[1] using this
command in upstream place:

dpkg-gensymbols -v4.1.1 -plibfyba0 -Odebian/libfyba0.symbols

[1] 
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-providing-symbols

3. The blhc command show some issues:

blhc --all fyba_4.1.1-1_amd64.build

To fix it, in d/rules, change from

export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--as-needed

to

export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all

You can see details here[2].

 Hi Martin,

 Hello Eriberto,

 About your package, please:

 1. Use DH 9 instead DH 8.


You didn't make your package full compatible with DH9 yet. So, edit
the d/compat file and change from 8 to 9. In d/control, change from
9.0.0 to 9.


 3. d/copyright:
 - In header, the field 'Source' is wrong.
 - The 'AUTHORS' file says: 'Licensed unter GPL-2. See COPYING.'.
 So, the upstream code is GPL-2, not 2+. Note the word 'unter'. :-)
 - Your year as packager should be 2013.

 What do you mean by that? I already have

 Files: debian/*
 Copyright: 2013-2014 Martin Steigerwald m...@teamix.de
 License: GPL-3+

 Anything else needed?


Sorry for my mistake. As the package in new in Debian, the packaging
year must be 2014.


 4. d/rules: please, remove all comments (from '# -*- makefile' up to
 'verbose mode').


Please, do it.


 5. You will need update the Homepage address. Can your current
 homepage allow scans from d/watch file?

 Did those and re-uploaded.


Please, in d/watch, change from 'tags' to 'releases'. It will allow
that uscan command can make download of the new releases.


 Found my mistake with previous upload, I misordered arguments to dput like in
 dput -f mentors distkeys_1.0-1_amd64.changes and this uploaded to ftp-
 master. I asked ftp masters to discard this. Might be good if dput catches
 this argument misordering, I think I will file a wishlist bug about it.


Not needed. You can upload anything to Debian queue. If your package
is not signed by a DD or DM GPG key, it will be automatically dropped.

Cheers,

Eriberto

 Hi Eriberto

 Thanks for taking the time to review my package.

 1. d/control: in asic0x-dkms (binary), add dkms as dependency.

 This is already taken care of by substvars:
 misc:Depends=dkms (= 2.1.0.0)

 2. d/copyright: use the GPL-2+ license text provided by Debian
 templates. You can find it here:
 /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/licenses/gpl2.

 Updated, thanks.

 3. d/rules: remove the comment line started with 'Uncomment...'.

 I removed this line and the 'export DH_VERBOSE=1' line.

 4. Please, upload your final package to mentors.debian.net.

 Uploaded:

Bug#752116: RFS: drmips/1.2.2-1 [ITP]

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi Bruno,

2014-09-21 7:35 GMT-03:00 Bruno Nova brunomb.n...@gmail.com:
 Hmm, this is an interesting point.  The education section was added by
 the FTP Masters back in 2012, and grep-dctrl -FSection education seems
 to show me at least 128 binary packages matching that (e.g. gcompris,
 kanadic, scratch, etc).  See the list of sections in Debian Policy 2.4;
 it seems that the webpage needs to be updated.

 I also thought 'education' was a valid section: lintian doesn't complain,
 Synaptic shows a friendly name translated to my language for that section,
 vim doesn't mark it in red, and Ubuntu has some packages in that section.
 And the Debian Policy mentions that section indeed.
 Should I leave it in 'education', or should I change it? Maybe to 'java', or
 'electronics' which is also a good choice. It's probably better to change.


Ok. I will let you decide. However, see the cons:

- Your package won't be showed in unstable list[1].
- If your package is rejected, maybe we won't have time to reupload
before the Jessie freezy.

[1] https://packages.debian.org/unstable

I think that more important that the section is the word 'education'
in long description.


 3. d/copyright:
 - You must list all authors and licenses in thos file. Use the
 command 'egrep -sriA25 '(public domain|copyright)' *' to help you.

 I was missing the copyrights for the files in cmake/Modules/, and I think
 that's all.


I don't remember but I will recheck when you upload to mentors.


 By authors you mean the names/emails of the people/companies that appear
 in the copyright notices of the source files, right?


Yes.


 The copyright of cmake/Modules/UseLATEX.cmake caused me some confusion,
 though. But I found a package in Ubuntu (feel++) that uses that file, so it
 should be ok.


My suggestion:

Files: cmake/Modules/UseLATEX.cmake
Copyright: 2004 Sandia Corporation,

Comment: version 1.10.4
License: Contract_DE-AC04-94AL85000

 license for use of this work by or on behalf of the U.S. Government.
 .
 Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
 modification, are permitted provided that this Notice and any statement

- From Debian policy[2]:

 Packages distributed under the Apache license (version 2.0), the
 Artistic license, the GNU GPL (versions 1, 2, or 3), the GNU LGPL
 (versions 2, 2.1, or 3), and the GNU FDL (versions 1.2 or 1.3) should
 refer to the corresponding files under
 /usr/share/common-licenses,[
 119] rather than quoting them in the
 copyright file.

 - I suggest you to use the conventional license texts provided by
 Debian, when applicable. These text are available at
 /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/licenses/.

 But the template texts there for those licenses also include a short
 summary of the licenses, before the pointer to the full text.
 Should I remove that and put only the pointer?


No. The point is use the conventional texts. As an example, see the
differences between /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/licenses/gpl2 and
your text.


 5.d/links: I didn't understand your intend with this file.

 The package installs some PDF manuals to /usr/share/drmips/doc/, and the
 program searches for them in that place (using a relative path).
 The link is just so the manuals are also accessible from /usr/share/doc/,
 the usual place in Linux for documentation.
 Should I remove the link?

It is a bit strange. I suggest change the source code as upstream or
make a patch for CMakeLists.txt to search in standard place.


 Some additional questions:
 * Should the Priority in debian/control be 'optional' or 'extra'?

Optional. From Debian Policy: extra: This contains all packages that
conflict with others with required, important, standard or optional
priorities, or are only likely to be useful if you already know what
they are or have specialized requirements (such as packages containing
only detached debugging symbols).

 * Should the urgency in debian/changelog be 'low' or 'medium'? (the default
 was changed recently, I think)

For the first upload (new package) use low.

Cheers,

Eriberto

 Nice trick, thanks! Not only did this make the debian/rules file more
 readable, but it also added some extra hardening flags that were not
 included before. I hadn't checked the hardening with blhc before, only with
 lintian - and it seems that lintian only checks for some basic hardening
 flags (probably because it is designed to only check the pure package, but
 not the build log that may not always be available).

 Done in

 Thank you for your review! Anything else I can do to accelerate the sponsor

 Dear mentors

 I am looking for a sponsor for my package asic0x:

 * Package name: asic0x
   Version : 1.0.1
   Upstream Author : Lourens Steyn lourensst...@hotmail.com
 * URL : https://github.com/lourenssteyn/asic0x
 * License : GPL-2+
   Section : kernel

 It builds the following binary package:

 asic0x-dkms - iBurst USB modem driver in DKMS format

 My packaging attempt is available here:

 http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/asic0x.git/

 The driver itself cannot be tested without access to a Kyocera iBurst modem,
 but after installing the package, the kernel module should build without
 error
 and should appear in /lib/modules/kernel version/updates/dkms/ as
 asic0x.ko.

 first many thanks for your review.


 Am Donnerstag, den 18.09.2014, 15:52 -0300 schrieb Eriberto:
 Hi Jörg,

 Thanks for all adjustments. Please:

 - d/changelog: change urgency from medium to low.
 done.

 - d/control:
   - Add a VCS to control your package.

   - I suggest to add the name 'MailWebsiteChanges' in long description.

   - Put a dot in end of the first phrase in long description.
   - Remove ${shlibs:Depends} because interpreted languages doesn't use it.
   - Why you have dh-systemd as build dependency?
 Both removed.

 - d/copyright:
   - The upstream code is GPL-2+, not GPL-2.
   - Where you saw that upstream site is GPL-2?
 My error. I'm looking for at your opinion instead of at your option
 in the LICENSE. And found them not.
 Change to GPL-2+.

 Do you have permission
 to add this content in your package? I suggest to list the site in
 d/README.Debian, not include the site.
 I think you mean the debian/docs. I have got the docu from the upstream
 author with a entry in d/copyright. Removed and I put a short reference
 into d/README.Debian.

 - d/mwc.1: add a reference about you, Debian and free usage of the
 manpage. This is important because manpages are published in several
 sites (without the source code) and someone might want to contact you.
 You can see an example here[1]. (go to the end of page)

 [1] http://sources.debian.net/src/mac-robber/1.02-3/debian/man/mac-robber.1

 Done.

 - d/mwc.cron.hourly: I think that isn't a good idea this file, because
 you are forcing the user machine to connect the Internet without a
 express permission. Ok, a NTP client do it. However, I think that the
 situation is different. Other point is that, initially, will not exist
 an user configuration and the mwc will try connect even so.

 I have moved them from etc/cron.hourly into examples with a tip in
 d/README.Debian.

 d/rules: remove all comments.

 done.

 d/watch: githubredir is deprecated. Please, see here[2] how to make a 
 d/watch.

[Eriberto Mota]

tags 752116 moreinfo
thanks


Hi Bruno,

Please:

1. Change the DH level from 8 to 9.

2. d/control:
- Debian no have a section 'education'. Please, choose a section
here[1]. Use the contract name of the section. As example, for
miscellaneous, use misc. How to know this? Click over the section and
use the name showed in head.
- I think that Vsc-Git should be
'https://bitbucket.org/brunonova/drmips -n debian'. Could you provide
a Vcs-Browser field?
- Remove ${shlibs:Depends} because interpreted languages don't use it.
- In long description, put a dot between the first and second paragraphs.
- In long description, what is FEUP? Where (country) is FEUP?

[1] https://packages.debian.org/unstable/

3. d/copyright:
- You must list all authors and licenses in thos file. Use the
command 'egrep -sriA25 '(public domain|copyright)' *' to help you.
- From Debian policy[2]:

Packages distributed under the Apache license (version 2.0), the
Artistic license, the GNU GPL (versions 1, 2, or 3), the GNU LGPL
(versions 2, 2.1, or 3), and the GNU FDL (versions 1.2 or 1.3) should
refer to the corresponding files under
/usr/share/common-licenses,[119] rather than quoting them in the
copyright file.

- I suggest you to use the conventional license texts provided by
Debian, when applicable. These text are available at
/usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/licenses/.

[2] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile

4. d/drmips.1: you are the upstream. Why you don't include the manpage
in source tarball? idem to drmips.desktop, drmips.pt.1 and drmips.xpm.

5.d/links: I didn't understand your intend with this file.

6. d/rules: please, remove the trash (from '# -*- makefile' to 'verbose mode').

7. After build we have some Lintian messages that you can solve (as
packager and as upstream):

a. Maybe you can solve:

P: drmips source: source-contains-prebuilt-java-object
src/android/DrMIPS/libs/android-support-v4.jar
P: drmips source: source-contains-prebuilt-java-object
src/pc/DrMIPS/lib/JTattoo.jar
P: drmips source: source-contains-prebuilt-java-object
src/pc/DrMIPS/lib/autocomplete.jar
P: drmips source: source-contains-prebuilt-java-object
src/pc/DrMIPS/lib/rsyntaxtextarea.jar

b. You can solve:

P: drmips source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature
P: drmips: no-upstream-changelog

PS: I would like to suggest you to add a GPG signature for your
upstream code. To see more details, '$ man uscan' (search for
pgpsigurlmangle). To sign your tarball, you can use 'gpg -ab
tarball_name'.

c. You should use a Lintian override (first line must be a comment
about the issue):

I: drmips source: ored-build-depends-on-obsolete-package
build-depends: openjdk-6-jdk
I: drmips: ored-depends-on-obsolete-package depends: openjdk-6-jre

8. Your package doesn't build twice. To fix it, you must create an
override to dh_clean in d/rules (man dh) to remove these files and
directories:

src/android/DrMIPS/libs/DrMIPSSimulator.jar
src/pc/DrMIPS/lib/DrMIPSSimulator.jar
src/android/DrMIPS/res/raw/
src/pc/DrMIPS/cpu/

Thanks for your work.

   - I am not sure I understand. It does use the 1.0 format.
   - Where should I list the upstream authors? I don't see a

 this in the 1.0 format.




 You can consult any copyright in Debian packages to see an example.
 You can use these:


 http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/
 netmate/unstable_copyright


 http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/e/
 ext4magic/unstable_copyright


 I edited the copyright file. Is it OK now?



 The format is right now. However, you must to list all upstream
 authors and licenses in d/copyright. See the second example above
 (ext4magic). You can use this command to help you: 'grep -sriA25
 copyright *'.


  6. I have added a generic README.source about quilt. Is this OK?




 No. My idea was talk about the original debian directory removed from
 upstream code.


 I've added a sentence explaining this. Is this enough? (There is no
 special
 step needed, as dpkg-source -x takes care of replacing the debian
 folder.)


 Yes. Perfect.

2014-09-11 18:09 GMT-03:00 Alexandre Rossi alexandre.ro...@gmail.com:
 Thanks for your time.

- Please, create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can
 use github or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to
 d/control. You can see an example here[1].

 Done.

 You need use 'git://' to Vcs-Git, intead of 'https://'.

 That's not what recommended by github and https:// works as a git
 clone url. I'm not against changing this though.


Ok. I didn't know it. I tested, using a clone procedure, and it
worked. Thank you for showing me.


 2. d/copyright:
 Please, I found new names as Ariel Flesler and The Dojo Foundation
 (from your patch).

 Okay, I added those names. But doesn't the header of the file give the 
 license?


All relevant license notices must to be put in d/copyright.


 How you concluded that txsockjs/websockets.py is under MIT license? Do
 you checked this information at this site[1]?

 [1] http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/branches/websocket-4173-2?rev=29073

 Yes.

 If yes, the license must be put inside the source code. From MIT
 license: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall
 be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software..
 So, if no have references in source code (about the license and
 origin), the upstream didn't can distribute this code without break
 the licensing rules.

 I am very concerned because I think that the upstream source code has
 several files or extracts of codes from other upstreams without
 licenses. If yes, the socksjs-twisted upstream needs to fix this
 issue.

 You are right. But as upstream does not seem responsive, I cannot do
 much more than patching the files to fix those issues.


The problem, IMHO, is that the software is hurting copyright rights
and can't be distributed. So, I think the upstream must fix it. Other
alternative is you to fork the project and fix all issues. But it is a
bit hard to life.


 3. What makes your patch? My impression is that you are injecting a
 third-part code in upstream. Is this? If yes, you must add it as an
 dependency of the package. If not packaged, you need package it.

 The patch adds the missing source for minified js files. See
 https://lintian.debian.org/tags/source-is-missing.html

 Ok. But the lintian says: add it to debian/missing-sources
 directory. And as I said, this code must be referenced in
 d/copyright.

 My idea was to have a patch ready for inclusion by upstream, easier
 than picking up the pieces in debian/missing-sources.


Ok, but it is an third-party code injected yet. The better procedure
is put it as a dependency.


 What is the origin of this code? (you must add it to the patch header)

 This code was taken from the history of jquery.

 There is this code packaged in Debian?

 Yes but not the same version as the minified source.


Do you tested to see if works? For me, this inclusion, in a first
view, is undesirable. I will baulk to accept it...


 This files are not even part of the binary package, the idea is just
 to fix the source package.


Ok, I understood it. But consider my previous opinion.


 6. Do you see these lintian messages?

 P: sockjs-twisted source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object
 qunit/html/static/jquery.min.js
 P: sockjs-twisted source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object
 qunit/html/static/qunit.min.js

 Those are fixed by the patch and are false positives, see above and a
 lintian bug :
 https://bugs.debian.org/744972

 I can be wrong. But the pointed site is about missing sources. Please see 
 it[2].

 [2] 
 https://lintian.debian.org/tags/source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object.html

 From some other discussion, I had understood that including the
 missing source was enough. What is your advice here : should I add a
 Makefile to regenerate those files that don't even get in the binary
 package? Should I repack the source to get rid of those (which would
 be a pity : the archived source package would be stripped of its test
 suite) ?

 Alex

Well, Paul Wise answered. Other solution is a fork project.

I think that is important say you that I want help. However, the
source code is very strange because the upstream is ignoring the basic
rules.

Cheers,

Eriberto

 A new package is uploaded:

 Hi Eriberto,

 I finished now with the Git-integration of my package. The new repository
 is
 published under the collab-maint project on Alioth:

 http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/stda.git

 All previous issues with the package should be fixed in the current
 version.
 Also the corresponding 'Vcs-Browser' and 'Vcs-Git' fields in the
 d/control
 file are defined respectively.

 Thanks a lot for you continuous support!

 Cheers,
 Dimitar

 Jakub was meaning to say that even though policy does not allow
 interacting with the internet during build, many of the currently
 running buildds do not enforce this. So at the moment you could likely
 upload a (policy violating) package that downloads stuff during build
 and have it successfully built on most buildds.

 That said, this topic is not uncontroversial as some folks would like to
 be able to use apt-get source during build as a means for avoiding more
 binary packages postfixed -source.

Bug#747032: RFS: libjs-zxcvbn/1.0+dfsg.1-1

[Eriberto Mota]

Hum... Yesterday, in #debian-mentors (IRC), bremner confirmed that
buildd block the Internet access.

[15:27] eriberto Hi! A package in main can't download files when
building. But in Debian Policy the §2.2.1 doesn't is clear about it.
Can I use the §2.2.1 to this case?
[15:29] bremner eriberto: no amount of policy-lawyering will
magically give you network access on the buildd
[15:31] eriberto bremmer, ok. So, to confirm, the buildd doesn't
have Internet access, right?
[15:31] bremner correct.
[15:31] bremner in any case, it makes no sense for a source package
to download things. How could the ftp-masters possibly check such a
thing?
[15:32] eriberto Yeap.
[15:32] eriberto I think that is a DFSG violation too.
[15:33] bremner I guess. It seems kindof hypothetical.
[15:34] eriberto A discrimination against persons that no have
Internet access. These person can't build the package.
[15:35] bremner ok, but aside from a Debian themed trivia quiz, why
is it important to decide?
[15:35] geofft what are you actually trying to do?
[15:36] geofft (there's some discussion on debian-devel that access
to the Debian archive itself is a special case)
[15:36] geofft (but chances are your package is not a special case,
which is why Im asking :) )
[15:38] eriberto I am replying about a package that needs sponsor.
[15:39] eriberto But is all right. Thanks guys!
[15:39] bremner In that case I'd restrict yourself to the
non-philosophical point that package will just be rejected by
ftp-masters, and if it isn't, it will ftbfs everywhere
[15:40] eriberto Yes. I am writing about why the package can't be
put in Debian.

Jackub, do you have conviction that buildd has Internet access?
Nevertheless, the download when building is undesirable.

Cheers,

Eriberto


2014-09-11 8:07 GMT-03:00 Jakub Wilk jw...@debian.org:
 I completely agree that downloading anything at build-time is a no-no,
 but...

 * Eriberto Mota eribe...@debian.org, 2014-09-10, 15:45:

 3. The buildd system, that builds packages in Debian, don't have access to
 the Internet.


 This is a common misconception. Buildds do not block Internet access.
 (Although hopefully they will do this in the future!)

 Hi Nanakos.

 Fixed.


 2. d/control:

 put your example in a manpage or in d/README.Debian or in
 /usr/share/doc/python-kmodpy/examples.


 Added a d/README.Debian

 - The upstream source code name is 'kmodpy'. So, your 'Source'
 field must have 'kmodpy' instead 'python-kmodpy'. The tarball name
 must be kmodpy_0.1.10.orig.tar.gz.


 Fixed.

 3. d/copyright: note that here you used 'kmodpy' as 'Upstream-Name'
 and it is right. Please, in the packaging license (under GPL-2+), add
 your email address.



 Fixed.


 4. When building, I can see:

 pyversions: missing X(S)-Python-Version in control file, fall back to
 debian/pyversions
 pyversions: missing debian/pyversions file, fall back to supported
 versions



 Fixed.

 You can find the new package in mentors [1]

Bug#747032: RFS: libjs-zxcvbn/1.0+dfsg.1-1

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi again.

I did new tests and the package, when building, downloads lots of
files from http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary.

The download files at build time is discouraged because:

1. The package can be afected by a worm or can act as a spyware.

2. The package can't be built offline. Maybe it will make the package
non-free, because now we can have discrimination against persons that
no have Internet access (see DFSG[1]). The Debian Policy §2.2.1 says:

2.2.1 The main archive area
The main archive area comprises the Debian distribution. Only the
packages in this area are considered part of the distribution. None of
the packages in the main archive area require software outside of that
area to function.
[...]
In addition, the packages in main:
  - must not require or recommend a package outside of main for
compilation or execution
[...].

3. The buildd system, that builds packages in Debian, don't have
access to the Internet.

4. The injected files can violate the original license of the
upstream source code.

Cheers,

Eriberto

 About your package, the upstream name is 'sockjs-twisted' but your
 package is named as 'socksjs-twisted'. Can you check this?

 The half-an-hour-lost typo. Sorry. A fixed package has been uploaded
 to debian mentors.

Ha ha ha. The life is hard.

I will try help you with this package.

1. d/control:

- Sorry, but your long description is strange. My impression is
that you tried to transform a paragraph in a list, without basic
modifications. Please, can you adjust it? Use semicolons instead
commas in the list at end of line.

   - Please, create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can

d/control. You can see an example here[1].

Gamble nor the names of its, while the d/copyright says Neither the

Please, check each file and its licenses. I suggest 'grep -sriA25

- I suggest (you can drop it) that you put the license texts as
end of file. You can see an example here[2]. It will make easier to

3. What makes your patch? My impression is that you are injecting a
third-part code in upstream. Is this? If yes, you mus add it as an
dependency of the package. If not packaged, you need package it.

4. d/watch: githubredir is deprecated and GitHub accepts scan. Please,
read this[3].

Hi Ben,

About your package, please:

1. d/changelog: remove the word 'bug'.

2. d/control: in short description there is an 'indent' signal.
Please, change to a simple dash. Do the same in d/copyright.

3. d/copyright: there are files licensing to other authors that not
Dropbox. Please, review carefully all files. As help, use 'grep
-sriA25 copyright *'.

4. Your package doesn't build in my machine. It stops showing '( cd
scripts  python build_frequency_lists.py )' in screen.

Thanks for your work.

Bug#751609: RFS: dmaths/3.5.2.5+dfsg1-1 (new version of a package that is already in Debian)

[Eriberto Mota]

2014-09-06 14:34 GMT-03:00 Innocent De Marchi tangram.pe...@gmail.com:
 Hi Eriberto,


Hi Innocent,


 2. d/control:
 - Explain me why the package depends of writer and draw to work.


 Has no sense to install the package without these two programs. I don't know
 if I understand the question...


You put in long description It also allows you to use your favorite
drawing software and include graphs of functions into a document. So,
why install draw compulsorily as dependency? I am trying understand
the package. If using writer, will you need of the draw?


 - Please, create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can
 use github or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to
 d/control.


 I want to do this with all my packages, but now I have no time. I don't
 practice with Git and will need some time for me to update.


You can use SVN or CVS (or GIT). Sorry but it is an essential
condition for me. GitHub is simple and has several tutorials and
videos on Internet.


 5. After the build, there are two wrong independent license files in
 the package:

 usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/licence.odt
 usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/license.txt

 You must add an override_dh_install to d/rules to remove these files ($
 man dh):

 override_dh_install:
 dh_install
 rm -f
 $(CURDIR)/debian/libreoffice-dmaths/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/licence.odt
 rm -f
 $(CURDIR)/debian/libreoffice-dmaths/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/license.txt


 The dmaths has a menu with an option to see the file
 DmathsAddon/Fichiers/licence.odt
 If it is deleted, an error occurs when accessing the file. I've added a line
 to delete the file license.txt to repackage the sources
 (see README.source)


Ok. Please, add comments line in libreoffice-dmaths.lintian-overrides
to explain each issue. I think you will need two lines.


 6. Now, remove the 'extra-license' lines from Lintian override file.


 OK. Only the line for DmathsAddon/Fichiers/license.txt

Ok!

I saw several Lintian messages in your last upload. A new Lintian was
uploaded today to unstable. May it can help you too:

[Eriberto Mota]

tags 751009 moreinfo
thanks


Hi Nigel,

Please:

1. d/changelog: you didn't put an ITP reference. Please, read it[1] to
you see how to make an initial changelog.

[1] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#changelog

2. d/copyright:
- You need to add the section 'Files: debian/*' because you can
wish make a Debian revision without an upstream revision.
- The information in d/copyright is different from upstream code.
There is a license file saying GPL-2. However, ppp-gatekeeper file
says 2008-2014 GPL-3+.

3. d/ppp-gatekeeper.dirs: remove etc/modprobe.d because
d/ppp-gatekeeper.install will create it.

4. d/ppp-gatekeeper.install: you are installing a file inside
/etc/shorewall. However, shorewall is a suggestion, not a dependency.
So, you must put contrib/start.shorewall in
usr/share/docs/ppp-gatekeeper/examples and write a d/README.Debian to
explain about how to use this file.

5. d/rules:
- override_dh_installdocs: don't install AUTHORS as docs. This
information should be provided by d/copyright. I suggest to use
d/ppp-gatekeeper.docs ($ man dh_installdocs).
- override_dh_clean: I suggest to use d/clean ($ man dh_clean).
- You are creating/deleting a manpage.1 but the correct level is 8.

6. You have Lintian messages to solve:

W: ppp-gatekeeper: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
E: ppp-gatekeeper: description-is-pkg-name PPP Gatekeeper
I: ppp-gatekeeper: extended-description-is-probably-too-short

Thanks for your work.

Bug#741648: RFS: cbootimage/1.2-2

[Eriberto Mota]

2014-09-04 18:15 GMT-03:00 Marc Dietrich marvi...@gmx.de:
 Hi Eriberto,


Hi Marc,

 3. d/control: you need a VCS to control your packaging. I think that
 already told you about it. Ask me if you have doubt.

 Yes, I original got it wrong thinking it must be the upstream repo. Since I
 have no repo for the debian stuff (and I really don't like to create one) I
 just dropped it because it is neither mandatory nor recommended.


Not mandatory or recommended by policy. However, a good practice
commonly requested by all sponsors to allow the control of the code by
you or any external people. You must implement it.


 4. d/copyright: you need remake this file. A short example is that you
 didn't told about build/* directory. Please, read (really) about
 'copyright' here[1]. As a tip, if your main upstream is Nvidia, you
 can use a general reference to it. An example (not real for years
 range):

 Ah, I forgot to update it to the new paths. In fact, the files are copyrighted
 by different people from different companies, so I like to keep the current
 style of one copyright line per company. The NVIDIA copyright mostly comes
 from the buildsystem and their own boards.


You must review each file. Use 'grep -sriA25 copyright *' to help you.

I checked each file and FTP Master will do it too. I found several
issues. Some examples:

- There are several files copyrighted as 2012-2013, or 2012, or 2013
for CompuLab Ltd. You wrote 2012 only.
- I didn't saw copyrights for Toradex in your file.
- 2011-2013 for Avionic Design GmbH. You wrote 2013 only.
- Other issues.

Please, change tegra*/compulab/* for two blocks: tegra20/compulab/*
and tegra30/compulab/*:

Files: tegra20/compulab/*
Copyright: xyz
License: abc

Files: tegra30/compulab/*
Copyright: xyz
License: abc

Do the same to tegra*/toradex/* and tegra*/avionic-design/*. It will
avoid confusion and make easier a future upgrade.

The 'Files: tegra*/nvidia/* build/*' must be 'Files: *'.

Finally, please, INSPECT all files. It will make my work easier.

 5. d/docs: you is installing ALL files as documents. No! There is one
 document only: README.txt. The other files are your program.

 These files are not really required for cbootimage to run. They are more like
 examples on how to write a configuration. They even have their own buildsystem
 so the user needs to copy them to his own directory to actually use them. As
 the whole package only contains examples, they can go directly into docs
 (without docs/example) [2]. The user feeds the path to the generated config
 file to the cbootimage program. You can see it as a configuration compiler.

 [2] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.6


Ok. I understood now. But your d/control don't explain about it. So
you must adapt the long description.

You are putting files as build.sh and Makefile. They aren't examples.
So, you must remove these files or put all files in /usr/share/[...]
(it is usual in Debian). In this case, you can write an
d/README.Debian to explain about the files in /usr/share.

Note that the current package is generating this Lintian message:

X: cbootimage-configs: duplicate-files
usr/share/doc/cbootimage-configs/tegra114/nvidia/dalmore/build.sh
usr/share/doc/cbootimage-configs/tegra124/nvidia/jetson-tk1/build.sh

usr/share/doc/cbootimage-configs/tegra30/nvidia/cardhu/build.sh
usr/share/doc/cbootimage-configs/tegra30/toradex/colibri_t30/build.sh

If you use the /usr/share/cbootimage-configs, the message will stop.

I read quickly the README.txt and I saw that cbootimage will need of
extracted files from NVidia hardware, right? If yes, I think that
NVidia hardware content isn't free. So, if confirmed, cbootimage must
be put in 'contrib'.[1]

[1] https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#note

 6. d/rules: your rules has useless comments and is wrong. But your
 package is building documents only. So, I can't comment about d/rules
 yet. You need read about the upstream program (where put it). I think
 that you need all cfg files in /usr/share/cbootimage-configs to make a
 link from cbootimage.

 see above.


You needn't of the 'export DH_OPTIONS'.

   URL : https://code.google.com/p/plowshare/

 * fix-man-page-typos.patch now fixed in upstream.
 * Drop Replaces: plowshare since it was never in the archive.

 Note that my package for the previous upstream release is sitting in NEW:

 I'm not sure if it's best to wait until that is accepted before
 attempting to upload this new release? If the package got bumped to the
 end of the queue then it probably won't have a chance of making it into
 testing before the jessie freeze, so it would be nice to avoid that.

Bug#741648: RFS: cbootimage/1.2-2

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi Marc, how are you?

We need begin anew. So, I will analyse the packages from zero.

In a first moment, we will work over cbootimage-configs only. Please:

1. The g GIT commit was on 2014-08-06. So, the version must be
0.0+20140806~git18e531f (I prefer git instead 'g').

2. d/changelog: you need an ITP number.

3. d/control: you need a VCS to control your packaging. I think that
already told you about it. Ask me if you have doubt.

4. d/copyright: you need remake this file. A short example is that you
didn't told about build/* directory. Please, read (really) about
'copyright' here[1]. As a tip, if your main upstream is Nvidia, you
can use a general reference to it. An example (not real for years
range):

Files: *
Copyright: 2010-2014 NVIDIA CORPORATION i...@nvidia.com
License: ZLIB

After this, you must create new sections to exceptions only. This work
must be precise.I and FTP Master will check each detail.

[1] http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/#fields

5. d/docs: you is installing ALL files as documents. No! There is one
document only: README.txt. The other files are your program.

6. d/rules: your rules has useless comments and is wrong. But your
package is building documents only. So, I can't comment about d/rules

  I think you didn't undertand my words. You must create a VCS to

  Your mistake was put the Vcs-* in binaries instead in source block
  (after Homepage field).
 
  This and the problems below are a result of how I package the source. Let
  me explain it at bit more: cbootimage is used to flash the bootloader on
  tegra devices. To do this, it needs some machine specific config files.
  These config files are not part of the cbootimage repository, instead
  they live under their own one. To avoid creating two source packages, I
  decided to include the config tree in the program tree. This is possible
  according to
  https://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 (How to use multiple upstream
 
  tarball in 3.0 (quilt) format?). So I have two tarballs now:
cbootimage_1.4.orig.tar.gz and
cbootimage_1.4.orig-configs.tar.gz
 
  which create a binary and an platform independend package. So both
  packages
  need their own copyright (before cbootimage-1.0 didn't contain the config
  files).

 Ok. Thanks for your explanation. It is new for me. I read the texts
 and I tested all procedures. However, cbootimage-configs-1.4 doesn't
 exist in GitHub. So, you must use 0.0, the commit date and Git commit
 as version (or other similar format). An example for your case:
 0.0~git20140806.18e531. To see more examples: $ dpkg -l | grep -i git.

 I don't see a motive to join the upstream codes. IMHO, it is
 undesirable in this case, because the upstream source codes are being
 updated in different times. Thus, I think you must package each code
 separatelly and make cbootimage dependent of the cbootimage-configs. I
 have similar sittuation in my life. See my packages (phpwebcounter,
 phpwebcounter-extra) and (album, album-extra). So, I intent to sponsor
 your work if you use two packages.

 ok, I splitted the packages in two (cbootimage + cbootimage-configs) and
 uploaded them again to mentors.

 ...
  mmh, I'm about to install a jessie system in a vm to get a current
  lintian. I guess I can ignore the pedantic warnings for now?

 No. All Lintian messages must be fixed wherever possible.

 because cbootimage-configs has no version, I added the watch file with some
 comment that is makes no sense for this package (no releases) as described
 in the debian handbook.

 Hopefully, that's all ... Please take a (-nother) look at it again.

 Thanks!

 Marc

Hi Carl,


2014-09-02 0:54 GMT-03:00 Carl Suster c...@contraflo.ws:

 I'm not sure if it's best to wait until that is accepted before
 attempting to upload this new release? If the package got bumped to the
 end of the queue then it probably won't have a chance of making it into
 testing before the jessie freeze, so it would be nice to avoid that.


Yes, we need wait your package arrives in testing. Don't worry, we
have time (two months). So, I need you notify me when in testing and I
will solve this bug quickly for you.

Have a nice day!!!

Cheers,

Eriberto

Bug#760241: RFS: winetricks/0.0+20140818+svn1202-1 (ITA)

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi Joseph.

Please:

1. d/changelog:
- Change from 'Add Joseph Bisch as maintainer (Closes: #735288)'
to 'New maintainer (Closes: #735288)'.

2. Remove all garbage: d/changelog.{BACKUP.21866, BASE.21866,
LOCAL.21866, REMOTE.21866}. These files are trash or references to
Ubuntu d/changelog.

3. d/control:
- Why the package recommends zenity | kdebase-bin? I am afraid
because kdebase-bin is a monster (a detail: I use KDE). I need you
invetigate this dependency.
- Do you have access to collab-maint? If not, you must create an
external VCS and import all data.
- The long description appears a mix between long description and
README. Please, move this content to README.Debian (you can create a
new section below the Jari Aalto and put a footer with your name):

 About pckages in Recommends header: to use GUI progress bar, install
 package zenity. To read manuals, install package xdg-utils. If
 you need to cache any *.iso files with the -k option, install package
 sudo or sudo GUI gksu.
 .
 NOTE: This package suggests installing package libwine. Some, but not
 all package downloads depend on restarting the wineserver which is
 included in libwine.
 .
 NOTE: In case you have compiled wine from sources and installed it
 out of dpkg(1)'s control, winetricks' depends wouldn't know about it. In
 that case create a dummy wine package to satisfy depends by using
 tools in equivs package before installing winetricks. An example:
 .
   git clone g...@github.com:jaalto/project--debian-wine-dummy.git
   cd project--debian-wine-dummy
   make
   dpkg -i wine*.deb
   apt-get install winetricks


I suggest review and rewrite the original text.


d/copyright: you need update the upstream name list and years in
'Files: *'. you can use 'grep -sri copyright * | grep -v debian'.

d/rules: I suggest move the winetricks.svg install to d/install. it
will avoid two points of installation.

d/watch: doesn't show the last version.

d/clean: currently, this file hasn't a function.

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto

Hi Innocent.

Please,

1. d/compat: change to 9.

2. d/control:
- Explain me why the package depends of writer and draw to work.
- Please, create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can
use github or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to
d/control.
- Why your package is extra? It conflicts with other? If not,
please, change to 'optional'.

3. d/copyright: I didn't see any reference to Alain Hague here.

4. d/watch: dmaths isn't versioned in its site. So, you haven't how o
make a d/watch that works. Please, remove the content of the file and
add a explanation about it.

5. After the build, there are two wrong independent license files in
the package:

usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/licence.odt
usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/license.txt

You must add an override_dh_install to d/rules to remove these files ($ man dh):

override_dh_install:
dh_install
rm -f 
$(CURDIR)/debian/libreoffice-dmaths/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/licence.odt
rm -f 
$(CURDIR)/debian/libreoffice-dmaths/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/DmathsAddon/Fichiers/license.txt

6. Now, remove the 'extra-license' lines from Lintian override file.


Thanks for your work. I will wait your package.

Please, remove: 'From d/control:'.


 I don't have access to collab-maint,
 so I changed the Vcs fields to a private repo.


Ok.


 I think the package
 recommends zenity | kdebase-bin because of Kdialog which can be used as an
 alternative to zenity. What do you think I should do about it?


I agree.




 d/copyright: you need update the upstream name list and years in
 'Files: *'. you can use 'grep -sri copyright * | grep -v debian'.

 Done



A Lintian message:

W: winetricks source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright lgpl-2.1



 d/watch: doesn't show the last version.

 What do you suggest I do? The watch file is setup for the actual releases,
 but the previous maintainer has been packaging the version directly from
 svn. I guess I can figure out a way to get the watch file working with
 Google Code source browser.


My suggestion. It won't allow downloads but you will know if have a
new version (commit):

version=3
opts=dversionmangle=s/.*svn// \
http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/source/list detail\?r=(\d+)

Another option is package the version available at
http://winetricks.org/download/releases/.

 Hi Denis,

 Please don't open a new sponsorship request each time you post to the list
 about this package. Until you actually get the package uploaded, you can
 just send a follow-up mail to the bug (just email 760...@bugs.debian.org).

 In reply to your previous requests for sponsorship, people have made
 comments about the version number and the authorship of the work -- these
 items are still incorrect in your latest upload and request for sponsorship:

   Upstream Author : Bernhard R. Link brl...@debian.org

 This is incorrect as has already been pointed out.

   http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/ircii/ircii_20131230-1.dsc

 There is a newer version than this released.

   * Non-maintainer upload.

 This is also not correct as has already been pointed out -- you are seeking
 to be the maintainer and you are uploading it. It's not a non-maintainer
 upload.

 If you don't understand the comments that have been made, please ask for
 further explanation. Don't just ignore the comments.

 Stuart

Bug#759479: RFS: profanity/0.4.4-1 [ITP]

[Eriberto Mota]

tags 759479 moreinfo
thanks


Riley, THANKS A LOT for your revision. This makes my job easier.


Hi again Dariusz. Please:

1. d/control: reorganize your long description using topics. You can
see an example here[1]. As suggestion to increase the chance of the
users find your package, add the words 'Jabber', 'instant messenger
(IM)' and 'network'.

[1] http://sources.debian.net/src/bittwist/2.0-4/debian/control/

2. d/copyight:
 - Put the license 'GPL-3+ with OpenSSL exception' only one time
in your file. You can see an example here[2].
 - The files have this append (not in License.txt):

 * You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the
 * code used other than OpenSSL. If you modify file(s) with this exception, you
 * may extend this exception to your version of the file(s), but you are not
 * obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception
 * statement from your version. If you delete this exception statement from all
 * source files in the program, then also delete it here.

  - Please, use the license from a file.
  - To public license, insert a period (.) at the end of sentence.
  - To public license, use the years found in src/tools/p_sha1.c
(it will be equal to .h)

[2] 
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/netmate/unstable_copyright

3. To test, I need libstrophe-dev.

Thanks for your work. Very good.

Cheers,

Eriberto

Bug#755410: RFS: python-xmp-toolkit/2.0.1-1 [ITA] -- Python library for XMP

[Eriberto Mota]

tags 755410 moreinfo
thanks


Hi Daniel.

Please:

1. d/copyright says that upstream copyright years are 2008-2009.
However, the upstream changelog has newer dates. Please, update the
years.

2. Remove the useless file d/source/options.

3. A problem: after the build of the binary python-libxmp-doc, the new
files usr/share/doc/python-libxmp-doc/html/_static/{basic,default}.css
have this header:

 * Sphinx stylesheet -- default theme.
 *
 * :copyright: Copyright 2007-2014 by the Sphinx team, see AUTHORS.
 * :license: BSD, see LICENSE for details.

It is an inedit situation for me, but the license must be placed at
d/copyright. So, I suggest put it in d/copyright and add a field
'comment'[1] to explain about this.

[1] http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/#fields

4. Note that your package has new binaries (.deb) and will be NEW.

Thanks for your work. Your packaging is very good.

Cheers,

Eriberto

Bug#758918: Made working watch file!

[Eriberto Mota]

Hi,

The problem is you added an inexistent git commit number as upstream
version. The commit 7810c7afd8 was registered on 2014-06-17.

Cheers,

Eriberto

bm-2cvqnduybau5do2dfjtrn7zbaj246s4...@bitmessage.ch:
 I just found out how to make a watch file that works with
 python3-pyelliptic. As it turns out, the maintainer uploads releases to
 PyPI, so a watch file can be generated.

 I've had to change the version number of the .orig.tar.gz, as I'm using
 one made from a git snapshot. (I can't use the given tarball because the
 OpenSSL exception was not yet granted in that.)

 I've uploaded the version with the watch file to mentors.

Hi ChangZhuo.

Sorry, but in my last check I found two issues:

1. You didn't install the binaries and manpages. Why?

2. The installer is creating the directory
usr/include/libzhuyin-0.9.99.[CURRENT DATE]. Example:
usr/include/libzhuyin-0.9.99.20140824. Please, solve this issue. Feel

[Eriberto Mota]

tags 758646 moreinfo
thanks


Hi Dariusz, how are you?

Please:

1. d/clean: you package doesn't build twice because the d/clean
removes files only (not directories - man dh_clean). :-P

I saw you are using an override in d/rules to remove files. Why you
need a d/clean?

2. d/control: in short descriptions, remove the program name and put
each designation between brackets. My suggestion:

Description: defined networking framework (Python libs)
Description: defined networking framework (ryu binary)
Description: defined networking framework (docs)

You can change it.

3. d/copyright:
- debin?  :-D
- Please, review all source code carefully. I didn't see the
'Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation' in your d/copyright.

4. d/docs: I think that this file is a mistake because you created the
python-ryu-doc.docs. Am I wrong?

5. d/ryu-bin.ryu.init: please, remove all useless lines as Add code
here, if necessary,

6. d/ryu.conf: I think it is confused. Can you add comments to help
the user? Please, adopt a format to commented lines (# with spaces or
# without spaces).

Thanks for your work.

Hi Ruben, I will try help you.

Ross, thanks for your comments. Feel free to continue helping.

Ruben, please:

1. d/changelog: you must have an entry only. This entry must have your
ITP number. You can see an explanation here[1]. An example:

16:51:58 -0300


[1] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#changelog


2. d/control:
  - In Build-Depends, break the line before the column 80. You can see
two different examples here[2][3].
  - Create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can use github
or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to d/control.

[2] http://sources.debian.net/src/core-network/4.7-1/debian/control/
[3] http://sources.debian.net/src/ext4magic/0.3.1-4/debian/control/

3. d/copyright:
  - There are several improperties here. First, the correct general
copyright are: Tomi 2001-2004, Heikki 2008 and Ruben 2008-2013.
  - The file src/splay.c has references to David Brower, not listed in
d/copyright.
  - In src/ directory there are several files with copyright notices
not listed in d/copyright. Three examples: src/filter-i386.h,
src/gui/osm-gps-map-ais.c and src/gui/private.h. You must put all
copyright notices in d/copyright.
  - The copyright year for debian/* must be 2014.
  - I suggest you to put all licenses separately. You can see two
examples here[4][5].

http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/s/sentinella/unstable_copyright
[5] 
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/v/volatility/unstable_copyright

4. d/gnuais.docs:
  - The NEWS file is useless to final user. I suggest remove it.
  - The gnuais.conf-example is an example and must be installed by
d/gnuais.examples file.

5. d/gnuaisgui.docs:
  - Idem to NEWS.
  - In src/gui/README there is a reference to OpenStreetMap. However,
I didn't see this software in any Depends field in d/control.

PS: I suggest you write a d/README.Debian to guide the final user how
to use the software. So, you can remove some files from d/*.docs.

6. d/*.menu: I suggest add an icon to these menus.

7. d/patches: empty. Remove.

8. d/rules: there are lots of useless comments. Please, remove from
second line to '# Uncomment this to...' line. You can remove the
'.PHONY' line too.

9. d/watch: the githubredir.debian.net is deprecated and the most
usual d/watch for your case is:

version=3
https://github.com/rubund/gnuais/releases
/rubund/gnuais/archive/(\d\S+)\.tar\.(?:bz2|gz|xz)

To understand the last line, you can read it[6].

[6] http://eriberto.pro.br/blog/?p=1459

10. After the build, there are three lintian notices:

(1) P: gnuais source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature
(2) I: gnuais: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/bin/gnuais
(3) I: gnuaisgui: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/bin/gnuaisgui

To solve (1) you can read the uscan manpage.
To solve (2) and (3) you can read it[7].

[7] https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening#Notes_for_packages_using_CMake

11. There are several dpkg-shlibdeps messages:

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/gnuaisgui/usr/bin/gnuaisgui was not linked against
libpango-1.0.so.0 (it uses none of the library's symbols)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/gnuaisgui/usr/bin/gnuaisgui was not linked against
libcairo-gobject.so.2 (it uses none of the library's symbols)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/gnuaisgui/usr/bin/gnuaisgui was not linked against

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/gnuaisgui/usr/bin/gnuaisgui was not linked against
libgio-2.0.so.0 (it uses none of the library's symbols)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/gnuaisgui/usr/bin/gnuaisgui was not linked against
libsoup-2.4.so.1 (it uses none of the library's symbols)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/gnuaisgui/usr/bin/gnuaisgui was not linked against
libgthread-2.0.so.0 (it uses none of the library's symbols)
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if
debian/gnuaisgui/usr/bin/gnuaisgui was not linked against
libatk-1.0.so.0 (it uses none of the library's symbols)

To fix, add to d/rules:

export DEB_LDFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -Wl,--as-needed

12. After the build, I didn't see any library. So, why you have the
gnuais-dbg and gnuaisgui-dbg?

Thanks for your work.

Eriberto

 Do you think this is the main reason for no feedback on mentors.debian.net
 since I uploaded in April, or are there other things that I'm doing wrong?


Hi Ruben,

The sponsors do a voluntary work. To review a package, much time is
used. So, when a sponsor see lots of messages and warnings, he can
drop this package in favor of other in better conditions.

Hi ChangZhuo,

The new upstream version has new dates. So, you must update the
d/copyright file. Your sintax is wrong, because you put the upstreams
names before the years. Another point is that the packaging copyright,
usually, is an maintainer name. I suggest this sintax:

Files: *

Cheers,

Eriberto

 Hi,

 Since upstream has new version 0.9.99.20140718, I will pack this new
 version, with the following fix.

 1. d/control:
  - What is '...' in long descriptions?

 It means etc, and so on. I will change to use etc if ... causes
 confused.

  - I didn't understand what is the '-data' package. What is this?
 Can you improve the long description?

 Okay I will do that.

 2. d/copyright:
  - I didn't find Peng Huang and BYVoid in upstream code. Can you
 point me where you found them?
  - The upstream code haven't a cmake directory. What is this?

 These are for 0.9.93, not 0.9.99.20140425. I forgot to remove them when
 upgrading to new version, sorry.

  - The upstream code is GPL-2+, not GPL-2.

 3. d/docs: points to NEWS (empty) and README (useless to final user).
 Please, remove it.

 4. d/rules: remove these comments:

 # -*- makefile -*-

 # Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.

Bug#758966: RFS: confget/1.05-1 (new upstream release)

[Eriberto Mota]

tags 758966 moreinfo
thanks


Hi Peter.

Please,

1. d/copyright: I suggest you contract all data about upstream to be
less confused[1]. Example:


Files: *
Copyright: 2008-2013 Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net
License: BSD-2-clause

Files: makedep.sh t/t1.ini t/t2.ini
Copyright: ?
License: public-domain
  This file is hereby placed in the public domain.

Files: debian/*
Copyright: 2008-2014  Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net
License: BSD-2-clause


Note that I changed the copyright field in second block and added your
email address to other blocks. Please, remove the field 'License' from
header.

[1] https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#fields

2. d/rules: remove the second line. Why you used many options in
rules? I think that your rules can be cleaned. It will work:


#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
dh $@ --parallel

override_dh_auto_install:
dh_auto_install -- DESTDIR=${CURDIR}/debian/confget PREFIX=/usr \
MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man BINGRP=root MANGRP=root \
EXAMPLESDIR=/usr/share/doc/confget/examples

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto

 Package: sponsorship-requests
 Severity: normal

 Dear mentors,

 I am looking for a sponsor for my package confget

  * Package name: confget
Version : 1.05-1
Upstream Author : Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net
  * URL : http://devel.ringlet.net/textproc/confget/
  * License : BSD
Section : text

 It builds a single binary package, tested with sbuild, lintian and adequate:

   confget- read variables from INI-style configuration files

 To access further information about this package, please visit the following 
 URL:

 http://mentors.debian.net/package/confget

 Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

   dget -x 
 http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/confget/confget_1.05-1.dsc

 More information about confget can be obtained from
 http://devel.ringlet.net/textproc/confget/

 Changes since the last upload:

 confget (1.05-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Update the copyright file:
 - convert it to the 1.0 format
 - separate lists of copyrighted files with whitespace, not commas
 - bump the year of my copyright notice
 - fix the upstream homepage location
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.5 with no changes.
   * Bump the debhelper compatibility level to 9 with no changes.
   * Get the hardening options directly from debhelper:
 - remove the build dependency on hardening-includes
 - no longer include the hardening Makefile snippet into the rules file
 - explicitly enable all the hardening features; they may be disabled
   in the future if confget should fail to build anywhere
 - use DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND to, well, append to CFLAGS
   * Enable parallel building - not that it matters a lot in this case :)
   * New upstream release:
 - honors CPPFLAGS now, so the hardening flags may be passed as-is
 - autodetects getline(3) support, so no need for CFLAGS_CONF
 - renames PCRE_CFLAGS to PCRE_CPPFLAGS, so follow suit
 - update the copyright years in the copyright file
 - follow upstream and switch from -ansi to -std=c99
   * Remove the obsolete DM-Upload-Allowed field.
   * Drop the source compression options; dpkg-dev's defaults are good enough.
   * Update the watch file after the devel.ringlet.net website change.
   * Let uscan verify upstream's signature against my own key.

Bug#753487: RFS: stda/1.3.1-1 -- new upstream release (package already in Debian)

[Eriberto Mota]

2014-08-22 12:00 GMT-03:00 Dimitar Ivanov drim...@freeshell.de:
 Hello Eriberto,

Hi!


 I implemented most of the changes you requested.

 1. d/compat: change to 9.

 Done.


Not done. I can see 7.


 2. d/control:
  - Set 9 to debhelper.
  - Consider change the priority to optional. Please, read it[1].
  - Create a VCS to control your debian/ versions. You can use github
 or other. So, add the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} to d/control.
  - Add a punctuation in each item in long description.

 [1] https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities

 Done, except the VCS stuff.. Because I'm not sure what kind of a
 VCS-entiries should I define in d/control, I'll write you a separate mail
 related to what exactly and how it should be version-controlled. May be
 presently you can review the new package which don't include VCS-entries,
 and later I can produce a new debian-release where Vcs-Browser and
 Vcs-{Git|Svn|Cvs} are defined in d/control.


Sorry, but when I said punctuation, I meant to put a dot in end of
each line. Example:

  * maphimbu   - histogram builder for 1-d numerical and text data.
  * mintegrate - evaluate average/sum/integral/derivative of 1-d numerical data.

You really need a VCS. It is very important to keep the package
control across the versions. I suggest to use GitHub (easy). Please,
put 'github tutorial' in Google. You need put, at least, the debian/
directory under the VCS control. In d/control you need add Vcs-Browser
and Vcs-Git fields. You can see an example here:

http://sources.debian.net/src/mac-robber/1.02-3/debian/control/

You need to learn about (git) clone, add, rm, commit and tag.


 4. d/rules: please, update to new (reduced) format. Your package is
 very simple and it will work. Ask me if you have doubts. An example:
 http://sources.debian.net/src/pcapfix/1.0.2-3/debian/rules/

 Done.

You used a 'clean' target in your d/rules. The correct is use
'override_dh_auto_clean'. Please, 'man dh' and search by 'override'.
However, is easier use d/clean file (man dh_clean). But I think this
clean step in your package is unnecessary. Please, remove and test.


 5. d/watch: add escapes before tarball dot (\.tar\.gz). Your watch is
 showing the version 1.3.1. I already read about it in previous
 messages. I need the final program in your site to check the
 integrity.

 Well, since '.tar.gz' is at the end of the string, and since I'm not going
 to create on my web-page some other package-related files with funny
 filenames ending with some chartarsome_chargz, I think that .tar.gz
 without escapes is ok - it is not 100% exact but it is more readable and
 'uscan --verbose' works perfectly. But if you mind, I can change it as
 requested.


Nop. It is a grep (dot == any character except newline). Your d/watch
can work but the correct is escape the dots. Please, read it[1] if you
need know more about the watch file.

[1] http://eriberto.pro.br/blog/?p=1459


 You can download the package source by:
 wget http://gnu.mirendom.net/download.cgi/gnu/stda/stda-1.3.1.tar.gz

I think it was a mistake. Sorry.


I saw that your package depends of help2man to build. Please, add it
in d/control (Build-Depends).

Thanks Dimitar.

Cheers,

Eriberto

Hi ChangZhuo.

Please:

1. d/control:
 - What is '...' in long descriptions?
 - I didn't understand what is the '-data' package. What is this?
Can you improve the long description?

2. d/copyright:
 - I didn't find Peng Huang and BYVoid in upstream code. Can you
point me where you found them?
 - The upstream code haven't a cmake directory. What is this?
 - The upstream code is GPL-2+, not GPL-2.

3. d/docs: points to NEWS (empty) and README (useless to final user).
Please, remove it.

4. d/rules: remove these comments:

# -*- makefile -*-

# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.

Thanks for your work.

Cheers,

Eriberto

thanks


Hi Dariusz.

Please:

1. d/changelog: add an explanation about why your removed the -dfsg.
Please, see the field 'Source' in d/copyright header.

2. d/control: in 'Package: libircclient-dev', remove 'Pre-Depends:
${misc:Pre-Depends}'.

3. d/copyright:
- Fix the 'Source' field in header.
- See it[1] and put the correct range of the years for each Debian
maintainer.
- Update the upstream copyright years (2004-2013).
- Search with 'grep -sri copyright * | grep -v Georg' for other authors.

[1] https://packages.qa.debian.org/libi/libircclient.html

4. libircclient-dev.install: remove .a. From Maintainers Guide[2]:

Shared libraries are distributed as *.so files. (Neither *.a files nor
*.la files)

[2] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html[2]

5. Remove useless file README.source.

6. Please, tell me why you make a patch. Your package is installing
libircclient.h only. The original program is installing
libirc_options.h, libircclient.h, libirc_errors.h, libirc_rfcnumeric.h
and libirc_events.h.

7. The upstream site has lot[3] of instructions about the library. I
suggest you create a README.Debian with notice about it.

Thanks for your work.

 Hi again Philip.

 Please,

 1. d/copyright: remove build/ltmain.sh. This file needn't be put (read
 the license).

 2. d/libgtkspellmm-3.0-dev.install

From Maintainers Guide[1]:

Shared libraries are distributed as *.so files. (Neither *.a files
 nor *.la files)

[1] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html

So, remove all .a and .la references. Remove the .so and make a
 synlink to .so created by libgtkspellmm-3.0-0.install (create a
 d/libgtkspellmm-3.0-dev.links file). (NEWS: after a debuild, I saw
 that the Makefile created the symlink - check if is ok)

 3. d/rules:
   - Remove the dh_install override.
   - Why you used '--enable-static'? Is possible remove it? I think
 you can remove all override_dh_auto_configure.

 4. d/libgtkspellmm-3.0-0.shlibs: what is the function of this file? I
 think you can remove it.

 In body:

 2014-08-20 13:50 GMT-03:00 Philip Rinn ri...@inventati.org:

 I tried to address all remaining problems. There are still
 three Lintian messages left:

 P: gtkspellmm source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature
 Upstream doesn't provide a gpg signature


 Ignore it.


 I: libgtkspellmm-3.0-0: no-symbols-control-file [...]

 I tried to generate one but I'm really not sure how useful this is as I'm 
 not very
 experienced with libraries. (And even Russ Allbery gave up on C++ symbol 
 files[1].)


 Ok. You must run 'debuild' and, after this, in the upstream code place, you 
 use:

 # dpkg-gensymbols -plibgtkspellmm-3.0-0 -Odebian/libgtkspellmm-3.0-0.symbols

 After this, edit the generated file and remove all Debian revisions (-1).


 [1] http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/journal/2012-02/001.html

 X: libgtkspellmm-3.0-doc: duplicate-files [...]

 That's a Doxygen issue and I guess it's better to fix that in Doxygen and not
 introducing ugly workarounds in all packages using it.



 Hum... These files have the same hash... Is possible delete one of
 each double? If not, you can delete one and add a synlink or... Put an
 override with a line explaining the problem.


 I uploaded the package to m.d.n:

 http://mentors.debian.net/package/gtkspellmm


 Thanks for your work!

 Thanks!!!

 Cheers,

 Eriberto
