kdepim4

2010-03-30 Thread Michael Rasmussen
Hi all,

I have a package which links against kdepim using this CMake
include(FindKdepimLibs) and seems to get the wrong include line:
Linking CXX shared library lib/libkcal_caldav.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkdepim

Search the archives shows that kdepim-dev is the development libraries
for KDE-3.x.

So my question is: How can I fix this?

RFS: usvn

2009-02-22 Thread Michael Rasmussen
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "usvn".

  Package name: usvn
  Version : 0.7.2-1
  Upstream Author : USVN Team 
  URL : http://www.usvn.info/
  License : CeCILL (GPL compatible according to fsf.org)
  Section : web

It builds these binary packages:
usvn   - A web based administration tool for Subversion

The upload would fix these bugs: 516417

Description:
USVN is a web based PHP application providing easy administration of
Subversion repositories doing so in the new Subversion format fsfs
and storing all configuration in either MySQL or SQLite3.

USVN is taking care of the entire process from creating a new project
to assigning user rights and configuring Apache's webdav plugin to
support up and downloads to the project. The user rights management
system allows an administrator to control user access from the entire
project down to an individual file and applying the access rights to
individual users or groups.

The aim of USVN is to provide a web based replacement for svnadmin but
at the same time it does not prevent the usage of svnadmin.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/usvn
- - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- - dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/usvn/usvn_0.7.2-1.dsc

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

OK. I prefer doing it in debian/rules - less files to maintain:-)
The reason for my asking was that running dh_make issued a warning
stating missing Makefile could cause problems.

The source package does not postfix the source folder with version

orig tarball in conflict with debian policy

Hi all,

What is the proper way of dealing with a orig tarball where both naming
and internal structure is in conflict with debian policy?

Especially the internal structure is a problem since it prevents using
the dh-tools in debian.

example:
orig tarball: foo-y.y.z.tgz
internal structure: foo\...

Hi mentors,

When packaging for Debian you have two distinct ways of doing it,
native versus orig.

My question is, if I am in close contact with upstream and upstream
always adds my patches to upstream source is there then any reason for
not choosing a native package? My changes file is empty except for the
Debian changelog.

odd response from lintian

2007-03-18 Thread Michael Rasmussen
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi mentors,

Running lintian on one of my packages gives this response:
W: gnome-mplayer: menu-icon-missing /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome_mplayer.xpm
N:
N:   This icon file couldn't be found in the standard icon locations
within N:   the package (/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps and
N:   /usr/X11R6/include/X11/bitmaps). N:
N:   If the icon is in a dependent package then this warning can be
N:   ignored, since currently lintian cannot check icons in other
packages. N:

Is placing pixmaps in /usr/X11R&/include/X11/{pixmaps|bitmaps} not
deprecated? On my system I see no icons in these folders - the folders
does not even exists.

Ah, now I understand it better:-)

Whatevery autotools mandates, you still don't need to install empty
or
duplicate documents in the Debian package (i.e.: list them in
debian/docs).

In that case I have decided to move it out of the deb-pacakages and  
only leave it in source as it has nothing to do with the usage of the  
packages on Debian. Could only be of interest to developers who will  
restore back to squire one.

Hi Thijs,

Thanks for your comments they are indeed such things I look for. Some  
of them were solved in a newer version and the newest available version  
which you can find here has included fixes for your comments (I don't  
know how to replace an already uploaded package?). The newest version  
is 3.1.7-3

http://ftp.datanom.net/tptest3/

Read my comments below.

* Re-read your changelog entry. You've left some boilerplate :)


Check. Fixed in the newest version


* In debian/control, you specify all packages to be i386-only. Why
don't
  they work on other architectures? Are you sure you don't mean
"any"?

Check, have change it to any in the newest version.


* debian/rules contains commented-out commands which is unnecessary.


Done in newer version.


* there's a stray debian/tptest3.files in the package.


Check, have removed that from the newest version.


* debian/watch does not work: no matching hrefs for watch line
  http://www.datanom.net/tptest/download.html tptest3-(.*)\.tar\.gz


A mistake. Copy/paste is nice, sometimes:-)


* You install both README and README.Debian, which have essentially
  the same content.

A README file is mandatory using autotools. But to eliminate redundancy  
I have renamed README.1st to README. README now contains the upstream  
authors build notes.



* You've got a LSB header in the init scripts but it doesn't provide
  dependency information. Like networking, for example?

Check. I basically had to options: required or should start/stop. I  
have chosen required because the service will only start if a network  
interface is available. I have not made further requirements since the  
service will start if only the loop-back interface is present.
I have left should start/stop in the script with zero dependencies to  
show the admins that, even if there are any dependencies, I have taken  
this into consideration but found none. Admins can the add information  
if needed. Eg. firewall issues etc.



* tptest3-doc.install contains only a comment, so it might just as
  well be removed.


Check. Removed in the newest version.

* The package descriptions are really inadequate. How can I judge
  whether to install the package when I'm redirected to a manpage
  that's included in that package itself? Please see the developer's
  reference for more information on writing the description.


I see your point. More descriptive information in the newest version.

2006-08-16 Thread Michael Rasmussen

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "tptest3".

* Package name: tptest3
  Version : 3.1.7-1
  Upstream Author : Ragnar Loenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://tptest.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL
  Section : net

It builds these binary packages:
tptest3-client - cli client for the tptest3 bandwidth tester
tptest3-masterserver - master server for the tptest3 bandwidth tester
tptest3-testserver - reference server for the tptest3 bandwidth tester

The package is lintian and linda clean.
The package also compiles under pbuilder and piuparts without warning  
or errors.


The upload would fix these bugs: 383398

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tptest3
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable  
main contrib non-free
- dget  
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tptest3/tptest3_3.1.7-1.dsc


As upstream seems to have abandoned the project I intend to make a  
fork. This is the reason way the orig.tar.gz is not identical to the  
upstream version for the following reasons:


Major changes:

- Restructuring of the package to follow GNU recommendations
- Applying GNU autotools
- Removal of sources for clients running on MS Windows and Mac OS X
- Cleaning the source so it was apple to compile under gcc-4.1  
without warnings

- Added needed stuff according to Debian Policy - manpages etc.

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

Kind regards
 Michael Rasmussen

Yes, you can.  But, keep in mind that dh_make is never perfect, you
always need to review what it has done, afterwards.


you are right, but using it gives you a tremendous boost.

RFS: tptest-gui

2006-08-11 Thread Michael Rasmussen

Hi list,

As a long satisfied user of Debian I think it is time for me to pay  
something back to the community.


Background: I got a new ISP and in the initial process there was some  
problems with having the promised bandwidth. To find out where the  
problems were the ISP wanted me to download and install and application  
which could test the bandwidth between me and the DSLAM at the ISP.  
Unfortunately this application was only available for MS Windows and  
MOSX and this particular application was the only one the ISP would  
take into consideration - an angry GNU/Linux user slammed the phone:-)


Doing some googling directed me to a project on sourceforge - TPTEST3,  
which had the source code for the back-end and for the MS Windows and  
MSOX front-ends. All the source code was licenced under GPL in which  
case I decided to make a front-end for GNU/Linux using GTK2. It is this  
front-end I would gladly share with the Debian community.


Name: tptest-gui-0.4
License: GPL

Short description: The front-end uses a either a master server giving  
addresses of available test servers or a stand-alone test server to  
send or receive data, increasing the load until maximum load is  
discovered - automatically decided when throughput is not increased.  
When maximum throughput is found the user can see the statistic -  
Up/down TCP and UDP and an indication of available bandwidth - (TCP/UDP  
* 100).


Long description: The initial project was developed on behalf of the  
Swedish Consumer Agency. A description can be found on this address:  
http://tptest.sourceforge.net/.


Get the package from my site:  
http://www.datanom.net/tptest-gui/download.html


You will find the source tar-ball, binary packages for Debian Sarge and  
Sid and finally a link to the complete source packages.


Looking forward to here from you.
