implementation - standard suite
thanks



Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wine". It is (now) a trivial
backport (dch --bpo) but it does need to go through NEW:

 * Package name : wine
   Version  : 7.0~repack-10~bpo11+1
 * Vcs  : https://salsa.debian.org/wine-team/wine

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

  dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wine/wine_7.0~repack-10~bpo11+1.dsc



I'll also try and remember to use rebases rather than merges for the
wine repo now (the backports branch has been force updated to match).

I struggled to replicate this in sbuild or pbuilder with or without
git-buildpackage until I added a Build-Conflicts on the package
providing the `XML::LibXML` module which was apparently only pulled in
as an alternative. So thanks for uncovering this issue changed upstream
in 2017 that just happened to still work in Debian's resolvers.

Thank you Mike for pushing to git, including the previous changes which
I'd made for backports. I've pushed the new fix to `bookworm-wine7`
branch and deleted the temporary emorrp1 branch.

Bug#987244: RFS: nbsdgames/4.0-1 [ITP] -- text based mini games for your terminal

2021-04-25 Thread Phil Morrell
Hi tarzeau, as promised here's the policy violation details for this
RFS. Despite the length, thank you for working on this, it seems to be a
fun collection.

> §10.1 https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-binaries
> Two different packages must not install programs with different
> functionality but with the same filenames. (The case of two programs

> via “alternatives” or the “Conflicts” mechanism.

A different /usr/games/ PATH is not sufficient, nor is a Conflicts since
the sos game bears no functional resemblance to the sos report command
introduced as of bullseye. It is unclear to me whether this also applies
to non-PATH executable filenames such as /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/pipes
from xscreensaver-gl.

Conflicting names appear to be handled on a first-come first-served
basis for new packages and only go to tech-ctte if an unresolvable
situation occurs after initial upload. Therefore, I believe sos must be
renamed to comply with policy.

> §7.4 
> https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-conflicts

Similar functionality:
* fifteen (sgt-puzzles)
* mines (sgt-puzzles)
* sudoku (sudoku)

It is reasonable for a user to want to have all of sgt-puzzles,
nbsdgames and kdegames (using a k prefix) installed simultaneously and
play different subsets of the games available. This also allows the user
to pick their favourite implementation where multiple exist.

Given all this, I suggest you adopt a universal prefix for all the
games, perhaps "nb-"? On the other hand, it might be worth preserving
tab completion with a suffix instead, in which case no harm with a full
"-nbsdgames".



Additionally manpages are a "should" in §12.1 and there is interest from
users, so please either write them or remember to open a request in the
BTS. https://github.com/abakh/nbsdgames/issues/9

I'm working off Upload #6 from mentors and it still fails to build due
to permission denied, this time with chown rather than cp.

It's currently setup for git-buildpackage with the upstream git history
on branch "upstream", the tag merged into "master" which contains the
debian/ folder. It's up to you how much you push for the latest version,
tags are best but you can easily backport individual commits or use the
git HEAD.

That's fair enough, we all start somewhere and it can be daunting to
make the move from user to package maintainer, but it is satisfying! I
can see that your mail to me was already pgp-signed, which is great so
you should register on mentors and upload your public key.

Of course. #debian-mentors is your best bet for asking packaging
questions any time of day, but feel free to @emorrp1 if you like. The
channel is also bridged to matrix at #_oftc_#debian-mentors:matrix.org

Good luck!

Yes, you misunderstood me on this occasion. I tried to do two things:
a) highlight that there was some desire from the author for NC license
that needs confirming, e.g. maybe they want it to be CC-BY-NC?
b) point out, as Tobi did, that you need some public documentation of
the authors intent in order to document that in the copyright

What we're looking for here is an unambiguous public declaration of the
license from Pixel. I'm afraid the forwarded email doesn't satisfy that.
It's confusing regarding Cave Story/Vorbis and MIT/BSD and nothing in it
mentions Public Domain.

It seems theres some language barrier here, but first you need to find
out what terms the author is after (I'm assuming here that it's art and
not software), the most basic starting point is this:

https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Considerations_for_licensors_and_licensees#Considerations_for_licensors

Only after the author has decided on terms can they go about choosing a
license, which may or may not be public domain, but if it is, there
needs to be a clear public statement of that, e.g. the CC0 waiver I
linked.

I believe this is the problematic section of debian/copyright? I also
found https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#Public_Domain helpful.

The second paragraph is self-contradicting - if it's not subject to

As well as closing 903872 & 905984 for the old version, it would help if
906536 blocks the ITP but lose the "[ITP]" in the subject. FWIW these
days I don't bother with sponsorship-requests for games and just post
directly to the mailing list and only if I get no response raise an RFS.

Bug#880411: sqldeveloper-package version forking

Yes, both the NMU and proposed-updates versions are forks, both of
which are correctly recorded as Closes [868673]. As a result, if you
click on the version graph and then "Don't ignore boring", both
branches end in green and are also listed as "Fixed in versions".

As for what will happen with v0.4.4, it would be nice if all the
intermediary changelog entries were processed, but by the looks of
[accepted], only the specifically uploaded one is. 20/20 hindsight
therefore says v0.4.4 changelog should have included something like
the following (split out according to this [guidance]):

* Incorporates unreleased fixes now uploaded to unstable:
  - JVM path (Closes: #693798)
  - build error (Closes: #868673)
  - Included debhelper on the build dependency list (LP: #588458)
  - Replaced dh options with overrides (LP: #998258)

[868673]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868673
[accepted]: https://tracker.debian.org/news/887940
[guidance]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2003/06/msg00016.html

I documented this partly for my own learning, but Lazarus please can
you send the relevant metadata emails, or let me know you don't have
time to? I believe this is all you need to fix the version graph (for
each bug):

"Control: fixed -1 0.4.4" (at top of email to 868673-done)

Re: Comment posted on sqldeveloper-package

Hello Lazarus, pleased to meet you.

I attempted to get in touch with you over the summer, but
unfortunately only got bounces from bigfoot.com.

I currently have an upload prepared for stretch-pu:
https://bugs.debian.org/879850 I'm also guessing from the URL
structure that there can be only one (first come, first served)
uploader on mentors.debian.net per package but since your version was
correctly signed, it was added to the existing page. If you like, I'm
happy to reverse that by deleting the package page and re-uploading
after you, just let me know.

As for v0.4.2, thanks for fixing the outstanding bugs, I was only
interested in getting it working on stretch and unfortunately I'm not
at work today, so can't test the .deb. I did have to use dget
--allow-unauthenticated on your .dsc otherwise dscverify complained
about the signature, but gpg --verify did not. Hmm, dget-ing my own
upload had the same issue - do I need to explicitly specify the
keyring somehow, or is the 1024 bit key causing issues with gpg
modern?

In the changelog, please include my nmu entry verbatim (as it has
reached unstable and instead of ack in 0.4.0), so bugs.debian.org
correctly shows the graph for #868673. I don't know if the deb9u1
changelog entry also needs including, I've never done a stable update
before. I also thought the changelog should only contain versions
actually uploaded to unstable, rather than UNRELEASED ones, but that
might just be the behaviour of git-buildpackage.

As the package is debian native, does the VCS need to point to alioth?
I know it's fine for there to be a mirror, accept contributions, or
for the upstream to be on a non-free service, but I thought all the
debian packaging needed to be DFSG hosted.

Thanks,

Bug#879070: RFS: sqldeveloper-package/0.2.4+nmu1 [RC] [NMU]

2017-10-18 Thread Phil Morrell
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

Would any of you consider sponsoring this NMU I prepared? It's a targeted one-
line fix for #868673 which makes it unusable in Stretch. If possible I'd also
like it in stretch-proposed-updates, presumably only after it's reached Buster?

* Package name: sqldeveloper-package
  Version : 0.2.4+nmu1
  Upstream Author : Lazarus Long
* URL : https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sqldeveloper-package
* License : GPL-3+
  Section : contrib/misc

It builds those binary packages:

  sqldeveloper-package - Oracle SQL Developer Debian package builder

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

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/sqldeveloper-package


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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/s/sqldeveloper-
package/sqldeveloper-package_0.2.4+nmu1.dsc

More information about sqldeveloper-package can be obtained from:

  https://manpages.debian.org/make-sqldeveloper-package

Changes since the last upload:

sqldeveloper-package (0.2.4+nmu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Add required '--' before debian/rules target (Closes: #868673)
  * Add --no-tgz-check as sqldeveloper is non-free

Re: Request for sponsor for Stendhall Installer

2017-07-23 Thread Phil Morrell
Hello Carlos,

As this is an initial release, have you considered using
game-data-packager (if default-jre can be considered a game engine)?
It think it would avoid proliferation of simple download wrappers,
easing maintenance of e.g. menu entries and would also make the game
available to all users on the system.

Regards,

Phil Morrell
