Version 0.2 will include support for templates and inline python to create these directory indexes. And it will allow you to create *.html files from *.html.in files by inserting them into the template. And of course it is written in python, which means it is Arch independent and we have not that much code. And it behaves more like a VCS software, in fact we have: init (Wizard to configure a directory) help commit status options, though we don't keep the file history (but we have a log file, .log.gz) We also miss some features available in sitecopy (like fetching the data from the remote site).

Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.8-1 of my package "ndisgtk".

I don't intent to sponsor this, but here are some
problems I have found:
- Don't use /var/medias/, use e.g. /var/lib/medias/
(or /var/lib/cdarch)
- You modify /etc/fstab, I guess it's better to let
the user do this manually (or use an init script)
- Use Standards-Version 3.8.0
- Don't set CFLAGS if you only copy files
- There is no manpage
- You're copying a script to /etc/init.d/ instead of
using dh_installinit.
- You're copying scripts to different locations, you
may want to use dh_install.
- Cleanup your rules file by removing unneeded stuff
- Don't patch upstream files in the diff.gz
- Find a section for the package, unknown is no section.
- You can remove the whole Depends: line it seems
- You could use debhelper 7, a minimalistic
rules file and use debian/{install,manpages} files
to install the relevant files.
- You could write the copyright files using the
machine-interpretable format [1]

Although I do not want to sponsor it, I took a look at the package and here are my thoughts: Serious problems: You do not use a pristine upstream tarball. All your changes should be kept in the .diff.gz. And the first changelog entry should be 0.1-1. Your copyright file is partially wrong. You mixed text from the LGPL and the GPL. Minor: You do not need the whole configure targets in debian/rules, they do nothing. You should add a debian/watch file, see New Maintainers' Guide 5.10 for more information.

Re: [RFS] python-lockfile 0.7-2
Ben Finney wrote: > Howdy mentors, > > I am seeking a sponsor for my new package, ‘python-lockfile’ version > 0.7-2. First of all, because you are not compiling anything, you don't have to build-depend on python-all-dev. In fact, you can simply build-depend on python [it's just copying the file to a directory]. And since you are using dh7, you can simplify your debian/rules even more. And using python-support instead of python-central would also reduce the complexity. And you should also install RELEASE-NOTES as changelog.gz, as specified in Policy 12.7: "If an upstream changelog is available, it should be accessible as /usr/share/doc/package/changelog.gz in plain text. [...] If the upstream changelog files do not already conform to this naming convention, then this may be achieved either by renaming the files, or by adding a symbolic link, at the maintainer's discretion." BTW, have you considered to use the original license for your packaging as well? Because the time you add a patch to your package, the combination of both is GPL licensed as well. Using the same license as the upstream helps people to detect the correct license of the resulting work in an easier manner (and upstream maybe likes you more if you use the same license). Last but not least, I prefer to sponsor packages using a single revision for every upload made to Debian. And before I forget to ask, why do you want this package to get into Debian? Summary and other small issues --- debian/rules: - There is a char in line 23, which should not be there - The file could be much smaller by using dh's full power - RELEASE-NOTES should be installed as changelog debian/control: - Build-Depend on python instead of python-all-dev debian/copyright: - Update to the latest revision of the specification - Indent with one space, not with 4 spaces -- Julian Andres Klode - Free Software Developer Debian Developer - Contributing Member of SPI Ubuntu Member - Fellow of FSFE Website: http://jak-linux.org/ XMPP: juli...@jabber.org Debian: http://www.debian.org/ SPI: http://www.spi-inc.org/ Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/ FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

You only need python-all if you have to call setup.py with different python versions. You simply don't need python2.5 and python2.4 if you just want to call python. And that's what 'dh' does. > Also, should the build dependency on Python be ‘Build-Depends’ or > ‘Build-Depends-Indep’? dh_auto_clean runs python setup.py clean, and therefore Python has to be in Build-Depends as it is needed for the clean target. > In general, though, what's the guideline for how non-changelog the > file contents can be before it's not really appropriate to use it as > the upstream changelog?

I do not think that there is a guideline, at least I do not know of any. Generally, you can treat the file which contains more entries as the changelog. > I must agree with others in this forum that it's easier to track the > differences between different releases if they actually have different > release numbers. I generally treat mentors.debian.net in the way I treat a temporary branch in eg. git. I develop a particular feature in this branch and then squash-merge it into master, and only a summary of all changes made in the other branch, relative to master. And in Bazaar, if you merge a branch you also get a top-level message, and the merged commits are simply sub-revisions. And in your case, you are using a VCS to develop your package, which means you still have all your changes there. > Normal white space: ASCII FF, a page break.

Can you point out the changes that affect this copyright file? Well, you have changed it again to allow the symbols for copyright, so this particular problem is gone (but it was in revision 440).

With debhelper (>= 7.0.50) you can add this to debian/rules:
override_dh_installchangelogs:
dh_installchangelogs RELEASE-NOTES
