Yet libid3.so is the file name that upstream builds. If I were to change it, would that not potentially lead to all kinds of issues with other software that compiles against libid3? > For the other messages, at least P no-dep5-copyright are easily fixable > and dep5 is IMHO now considered as best-practice.

Many sponsor will not even > look at your package with warnings present, so I advise you to fix them. Hi Tobias Thanks for the advice. Most of the current lintian warnings are "pedantic" or "wishlist" and some of them directly affect the build process. Since this upload adds multi-arch support to the package I didn't want to mess too much with other aspects of building the package - I'd rather have just one major building-related change per package revision, makes it a bit easier to find bugs. Also, the warning about dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink (which is the only real complaint from lintian that I see) is IMHO not entirely correct. lintian seems to expect a symlink called "libid3-3.8.so" while the policy manual says "The development package should contain a symlink for the associated shared library without a version number". I'm assuming that this is because the id3lib package has not seen an upstream release in over a decade and we are carrying lots of packing-related information in our version strings these days (such as the "c2a" from the C++ ABI change in 2005). I could of course just add a lintian override and be done with it but I figured it would be better to keep this warning around as a reminder for me to look into the issue. Anyway, I *did* upload a new version which fixes a small issue with the previous upload and I'm looking forward to additional comments. If anyone feels the urge to upload it that would be appreciated. cheers -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It seems that so far nobody is interested in sponsoring this upload. Since it concerns an existing package currently in Debian, it would be great if somebody managed to find a little time to upload it. The current version in testing/unstable is quite old and somewhat buggy and I really think we should ship this new, updated package instead. Otherwise I might have to ask for the removal of the package and have users install it directly from upstream -- really not something that I'd like to happen since there is a (IMHO) perfectly fine package available, just waiting for a kind soul to do the upload. cheers -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/ "You are not Grey Squirrel?" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Dependencies for FastCGI
Hey mentors I have a question concerning one of my packages (fookebox). It currently depends on "libapache2-mod-wsgi | httpd-wsgi" since it's a web application that is typically called through WSGI. As requested in #667838, I now added the configuration files required to get it to run through FastCGI with python-flup. However, I am not entirely sure how to change my dependencies to indicate that this is a possibility. As I see it, one option would be to say that the package depends on either (libapache2-mod-wsgi | httpd-wsgi) or (libapache2-mod-fastcgi and python-flup). Yet a) I couldn't figure out the syntax to specify such a dependency and b) it would ignore the possibility of running FastCGI through anything other than libapache2-mod-fastcgi (there doesn't seem to be a virtual httpd-fastcgi package). Thus I figured the best way to do this is to change the current dependency into a recommendation (which would allow experienced admins to ignore it while still resulting in a working installation for people who don't care) and add libapache2-mod-fastcgi and python-flup as suggestions to indicate that they are supported and tested mechanisms. Or I could just leave that out and add a note about this possibility to README.Debian. So, before I start messing around, I was hoping that somebody might have some input on this.

Do you think it would be a reasonable approach to put together a working version of this and upload it to experimental? Or should I try to focus in finding testers outside of Debian? I'm asking because I think it's going to be non-trivial to find people who are willing to test a new tool that solves a problem which, for many people, doesn't seem to be extremely urgent. Anyway, if somebody on this list is interested in trying it out, you can get the current source code at http://src.ott.net/id3v2/ - most things (the build system, the included debian/ directory etc.) are still identical to upstream id3v2 but would of course be cleaned up if I were to actually try and do this right.

Shadoura wrote: > You can also drop libid3 as it is now and write a wrapper around some > better ID3 tagging library that has the same (or compatible) interface > as libid3. Also, I'd merge id3 and id3v2 into one package, or even > one binary, which would behave differently depending on its argv[0]. Well, here we are, several months later. I have since rewritten id3v2 to use taglib instead of libid3 and it seems to work reasonably well [1]. I have informed upstream about my work but haven't received any feedback so far. I thus assume that they are not particularly interested in maintaining a thing that now consists of mostly my code - I can't really blame them for that. I also contacted several debian package maintainers whose packages use libid3 and sent some patches along but so far without a whole lot of success either. I guess they have more pressing things to worry about. What this leaves me with, however, is an AFAICT working version of id3v2 with support for id3v2.4 tags and nobody using it. After re-reading this thread (and the last message in particular) I have now come up with a cunning plan (which would probably have been obvious from the very beginning to a greater mind): as I took over upstream development of id3 [2] when I adopted the package, I'm thinking of (ab)using that project for my id3v2 fork and replacing the debian id3 and id3v2 packages with this great new hopefully-working thing, probably calling the new package "id3" again. Once that is done, I intend to orphan libid3 to make it obvious to everyone who still uses it that they should seriously consider switching to something else instead. I realize that replacing a perfectly working little tool like id3 with my mostly untested id3v2 fork might not be the nicest thing to do, but at the moment it's the best solution I can come up with. Thus I was wondering if any of you have any comments on this. Reasonble idea? The most stupid thing you've heard in a while? Something in between? Any feedback would be welcome.

What to do about the situation with id3v2
Hello my fellow maintainers and DDs I have a question concerning two of my packages: I am maintaining id3v2 [1] and libid3 [2]. For those unfamiliar with them, id3v2 is a simple command-line tool to manage ID3 tags and libid3 is the library behind it. Now, those packages suffer from some major issues: - The library (and thus the tool) cannot handle version 2.4 ID3 tags (they only support version 2.3 of the standard - a rather outdated version). - Partly as a consequence of the lack of v2.4 support, Unicode tags are broken. Most of the remaining bug reports are related to this [3] [4]. - Upstream development for both packages is pretty much dead. When I originally adapted the packages, my intention was to fix this - so far I failed miserably, partly because I'm not sure how to approach the problem. My current ideas are: - Port id3v2 to libid3tag [5]. This is a different id3 tagging library which supports v2.4 tags. I did some work in this direction but I realized that this would require major modifications to id3v2 since it's closely modeled around libid3. Also, some modifications to libid3tag would be required to support all the current features of the id3v2 program. My current estimate is that the work required for a complete port of id3v2 would be close to rewriting it from scratch and would result in a program that hardly shares any code with the current id3v2 tool. - Fix libid3 to support v2.4 tags and Unicode. This would probably only require minor changes to id3v2, but it would introduce a significant delta between the Debian version of libid3 and upstream, making me the de-facto upstream for the library. Also, this would mean a lot of work to basically duplicate the "other" id3 tag library (libid3tag). - Drop id3v2 and replace it with a wrapper around one of the other command-line id3 taggers. This would however leave the "broken" library in the repository since other packages also use it. Also, I haven't actually investigated the alternatives. One possibly interesting candidate is eyed3 [6] but since this is a python application, that would introduce a whole lot of new dependencies for the users of id3v2. My personal goal for wheezy is to fix this mess, but since none of the solutions I can currently think of convince me, I'd like to get some input from other package maintainers. What would you do in a similar situation? Do you have other ideas than the ones mentioned above? Any input would be highly appreciated.

Packaging free software with non-free data files
Hi list I have a small question: I would like to package a piece of software that, when first launched, downloads additional non-free data files which are needed to run. I am now wondering whether a) I should just leave it at that, possibly adding a note to the package, or b) ask the upstream author for permissions to include it in Debian (the data files would have to go in non-free, since the download page states "You can not sell this data or use it in any form of a commercial product"). Also, If I read the policy correctly, adding a non-free data package would mean the the actual software would have to go in contrib. If we kept the normal download mechanism, could the package then stay in main? I guess keeping the current upstream mechanism would be the easier solution. However, if we include the data files in non-free that would allow people to install and use the software even if the upstream website is down (or if they're behind a proxy - I'm not sure whether the download mechanism would work there). Any opinions? cheers -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/ "You are not Grey Squirrel?" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Okay, thanks Boyd and Holger for your answers, I'll try to get it into

Bug in frozen package - aim at backports/volatile?
Hey list I have a small question: I'm aware that Debian is currently frozen, thus no new features can be added to squeeze. However, I maintain a package [1] (I'm also the upstream maintainer) which has an annoying but non-critical bug. The package is a parser for TV show episode information and one of the sources recently changed some minor detail in their data which messes up my tool's output. Anyway. I just released a new upstream version [2] which fixes that bug (and that bug only) and don't really like the idea of shipping a buggy version of my package with squeeze, thus I'm wondering whether it's possible to have a fixed version included in squeeze (probably not) or if I should aim at squeeze-backports or volatile (since the package depends on volatile external data). I realize that according to the policy the package cannot enter squeeze. I'm just wondering whether it's a reasonable approach (from a user's point of view) to have an updated version in volatile (or backports) at the time squeeze is released. (Also, note that according to popcon there are very people currently using the package, thus the issue is probably not that relevant in this case, but I guess there might be other packages with similar issues.)

In situations where you block all messages from people who are not on your contact list, an auto-reply telling them to request your authorization first is quite handy. cheers -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/ "Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition." -- Timothy Leary -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

RFS: episoder
Hello I'm currently looking for a sponsor for episoder (ITP: #322969). episoder is a tool which parses websites such as tv.com (that's actually the only one it parses right now, but a simple plugin-system would allow for other websites to be parsed) and tells you when new episodes of your favourite shows air. It's intended to be called from your .bashrc in order to keep you informed. episoder is implemented as a set of bash-scripts, the website parser is written in awk. I am also the upstream author, the license is GPL. The (linda/lintian-clean) package can be found at http://stefan.desire.ch/episoder/, the official website is http://episoder.sourceforge.net/ regards -- Stefan Ott http://www.desire.ch/ "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." -- Terry Pratchett, Jingo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

RFS: xfce4-sensors-plugin
Hello I'm looking for a sponsor for the xfce4-sensors-plugin package. The ITP has been files as bug#320685. xfce4-sensors-plugin is a plugin for the xfce4 panel which displays data from your hardware sensors (such as CPU temp, fan speed etc). It comes with two different user interfaces, the original text-based one and a new, modern one which looks similar to other xfce panel plugins such as the systemload plugin. License: GPL The (lintian- and linda-clean) packages I created can be found on http://stefan.desire.ch/xfce4-sensors-plugin/ Regards -- Stefan Ott http://www.desire.ch/ "Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." -- Terry Pratchett, Jingo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
