Also, anybody who is using their own script with xmlsimple will probably be requiring the library at it's old location, so that will cause additional problems for them. The proper way to fix this problem is to include a loading stub, as Adam suggested in the bug report. > The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: > - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libxml-simple-ruby > - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main > contrib non-free > - dget > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libxml-simple-ruby/libxml-simple-ruby_1.0.11-2.dsc > > I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. > > Kind regards > Deepak Tripathi Thanks, Ryan -- _ Ryan Niebur [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I have some strict versioned (build-)dependencies used, this is because upstream has told me to make sure to keep the version of mp3splt(-gtk) installed with the version of libmp3splt that was released at the same time I have not used dpkg symbols control files. This is because of the strict versioned dependencies, and because upstream says that they won't pay attention to API compatibility, ABI compatibility, or changing the soname, so there's really no point. I've got a bit of weird stuff in the packaging (debian/rules.local, debian/control.base, debian/regenerate.sh, debian/generate, and debian/shlibs-string.sh), but this is just added complexity to make things easier for me, and automate some of the manual tasks. :) Also, all of the packages in the libmp3splt source package conflict with and replace the (non-existant) libmp3splt package. This is to support smooth upgrades from upstream's unofficial packages. I'm not sure if I used Replaces correctly, tho...

I haven't tested that the package actually works, I'm assuming you already did that thoroughly enough and that it will work fine for me when I test it. other than the minor things that I mentioned above, it seems like you did a fine job. one other concern (and this isn't new in your changes) is that there's no copyright/license information for the Debian packaging. It's probably okay to assume the copyright years based on the debian/changelog and the license is the same as upstream. could please add this information (including a copyright statement for your work as well) to debian/copyright? also, I'd suggest that you look into using debhelper 7 minimized rules files (see "man dh"), tho this is completely up to you and is a personal preference kind of thing. the rules file is fine as-is. hm, one more thing. The information in README.Debian seems a bit out of place. It might be better to be patching that information into the upstream documention in the "Key Bindings" section, so that users are more likely to see it when they're reading the manual. again, just a suggestion, and unrelated to your changes. also, please forward your patches to upstream if you haven't already done so.
