On 05/06/12 22:28, Jakub Wilk wrote: Is this the desired outcome? No. AFAICT this is because the new entries are pointing to /usr/bin/nyancat-server rather than /usr/bin/nyancat which makes reconf-inetd believe that they are not related. [background] /usr/bin/nyancat-server is a symlink to /usr/bin/nyancat. It is required because reconf-inetd will not remove entries if the server path still exists when being removed/purged. The /usr/bin/nyancat-server symlink allows nyancat-server to still provide seamless nyancat server setup/removal through the use of the package manager. Shouldn't the last entry be disabled? How do inetd servers behave if there are multiple entries for the same service? I've added the three lines you provided in your last mail to my inetd.conf file and restarted my inetd server and it works fine even though there are conflicting services. The modified entry is still served (probably because nyancat nyancat-server lexicographically), so I don't see any harm in this, especially given the very low popularity of this package.

Bug#673096: [FIGlet] Figlet Font Licensing
[Please keep cc: list intact, so people don't have to subscribe to the non-public figlet mailinglist] Hi all, During a review of my updated figlet 2.2.4-1 package[1], it was discovered that the fonts directory still contains non-distributable files. An example of these files are the fonts/8859-*.flc files. These files contain the following paragraph: Unicode, Inc. specifically excludes the right to re-distribute this file directly to third parties or other organizations whether for profit or not. Bart Martens has helpfully suggested that the files could be replaced by the following re-distributable file [2]. This problem also affects existing 2.2.2-1 packages that currently exist in unstable, testing, stable and oldstable [3], and will result in these packages being removed from Debian until the issue is solved [4]. I have since noticed that there has also been activity recently on the fedora bug tracker regarding the same issue [5]. It would be great to have these issues solved so that figlet could continue to be included in the next Debian release. Many thanks, Jon [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=673096#18 [2] ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859/8859-3.TXT [3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674844 [4] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674850 [5] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820642#c27 On 14 May 2012 11:46, Claudio Matsuoka cmatsu...@gmail.com wrote: The standard font set (ours) is certainly safe to be in main.

I'll contact the author of the 3x5 font to resolve one of these issues, but I'm not sure about the C-64 fonts. Are 8-bit computer bitmapped console font shapes (not files) covered by specific copyrights, or can we consider them to be in public domain? Maybe you could check that with someone in the Debian legal team? Bitmap fonts are in the public domain in the U.S., because they are considered insufficiently creative to copyright. Specifically, the actual *appearance* of a font cannot be copyrighted, and bitmaps are considered just a trivial transformation of the appearance. Scalable fonts are computer programs, though, and are copyrightable. Thus my Figlet fonts in the bdffonts directory, which are based on the X bitmap fonts, as well as anything from the C-64 world, are safely public domain in the U.S. In Europe it may be a different story in principle, but the chances that anyone will sue are essentially nil. Such lawsuits are very expensive and there is no hope of any financial gain by them. What is more, the bdffonts have MIT-ish licenses, though the copyright notices are probably invalid. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

You need to indent the enumerated list by an extra space. (Or
alternatively: make all lines of the list indented by exactly one space,
and then add (escaped) empty lines between the points.)
I've indented these.
- Fix moolets bashism (closes: #530082)
You introduced a dashism instead... Oh, and it you are at fixing this,
please also fix the security hole (insecure creation of temporary files).
Fixed.
- Move figlet manpage to alternatives system (closes: 403665)
I'd add a # here, for consistency with the other closes lines.
Fixed.
Shouldn't you use --slave here?
Yes, slave would be neater alright. I've switched to that.
- Add watchfile
Does ftp.figlet.org support only passive mode? (That would be very odd.) If
this is not the case, I would not put opts=pasv in debian/watch.
Yes, it only supports passive, hence opts=pasv.
- Remove references to depreciated figfonts(-cjk) packages
s/depreciated/deprecated/ maybe?
Fixed.

hardening-no-stackprotector will be disabled in the next lintian release.
I've removed this override.
You also removed postrm; please document that.
Documented.
The postinst didn't work for me. I ended up with:
$ grep nyancat /etc/inetd.conf
#off# telnet stream tcp nowait nobody
/usr/bin/nyancatnyancat -t
telnet stream tcp6 nowait nobody /usr/bin/nyancat-server nyancat -t
telnet stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/nyancat-server nyancat -t
As discussed offlist, this is due to the fact that reconf-inetd was
installed during my installation tests, but you were pulling in
reconf-inetd with nyancat-server. I've fixed this now by adding
if [ $2 = 0.1+git20120401.5a88b86-1 ]; to the postinst instead.
What is exit 0 in postinst for? It doesn't hurt, but it strikes me as
odd.
I'm not quite where that came from myself. I've Removed it anyway.
I think it would make sense if nyancat-server had a strict versioned (=
${binary:Version}) dependency on nyancat.
You can't have a strict binary dependency from an arch all package.
I've added (= ${source:Version}) instead.

It seems common for packages to be uploaded to experimental for a time prior to the actual transistion to allow other maintainers update their packages accordingly. I was wondering will this be the case with this transition?

You can rename the -dev package to libconfig-dev if you want, but certainly don't *need* to, and if you do it, then it would be way better from our point of view to keep building libconfig8-dev as a transitional package until the reverse deps are updated, and to do that separately from the SONAME bump. If its ok, I'll leave the package as is. To clarify, what is the process for this transition? Will the package be uploaded to experimental to allow me to report bug reports and patches against dependant packages?

RFS: libconfig (requires transition)
Dear mentors/release team, I am looking for both a sponsor and a transition slot for my package libconfig. It is an updated version of an existing Debian package. See discussion regarding libconfig here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/11/msg00406.html * Package name: libconfig Version : 1.4.8-1 Upstream Author : Mark Lindner mark.a.lind...@gmail.com * URL : http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/ * License : LGPL Section : libs It builds those binary packages: libconfig++9 - parsing and manipulation of structured configuration files(C++ bi libconfig++9-dbg - debug symbols for libconfig++9 libconfig++9-dev - parsing and manipulation of structured config files(C++ developme libconfig9 - parsing and manipulation of structured configuration files libconfig9-dbg - debug symbols for libconfig9 libconfig9-dev - parsing and manipulation of structured config files(development) An ABI compatibility report was kindly generated by Andrey Ponomarenko, and is available here: http://xi.dereenigne.org/libconfig/abi_compat_report.html apt-rdepends lists the following reverse dependencies: libconfig8 Reverse Depends: guestfish (1:1.14.8-3) Reverse Depends: guestmount (1:1.14.8-3) Reverse Depends: libconfig8-dev (= 1.3.2-2) Reverse Depends: libguestfs-tools (1:1.14.8-3) Reverse Depends: lldpad (0.9.43+git20111215.c0498b-1) Reverse Depends: qwo (0.5-2) Reverse Depends: sitplus (1.0.1-2) Reverse Depends: yubiserver (0.1-1) libconfig++8 Reverse Depends: flush (0.9.11-2) Reverse Depends: ldc (0.9.1+hg1634-1) Reverse Depends: libconfig++8-dev (= 1.3.2-2) Reverse Depends: libffado2 (2.0.99+svn1995-3) To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/libconfig Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libc/libconfig/libconfig_1.4.8-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
