Salsa respository

2020-03-09 Thread W. van den Akker
Hi,

The repository for gtkterm for which I am maintainer, is sourced from 
my personal SALSA git environment.
I want to migrate to a public SALSA repository but I dont have the
rights to do that.

Can somebody create the gtkterm repository and give me master rights to
that repository? My username is wvdakker-guest.

Thanks a lot!

Help packaging archi

2017-12-16 Thread W. van den Akker
Hi list,

I am trying to package archi [1]. An editor for archimate models.
Archi can be found here [2]. It is my first Java package.

Archi is packaged with maven. So this is what I did until so far:
- read Java Wiki [3]
- read Java Packaging [4]
- read MavenHelper [5]

To me it look like I have to start with mh_make to build the files 
I need (maven rules and poms). Because mh_make only works with SVN
I first created my own GIT repos and ran dh_make.
Now I have the debian directory with appropriate files and can login to
the
git-pbuilder to run mh_make (I use git-pbuilder in unstable).
 
Output I get:
Checking the parent dependency in the sub project
com.archimatetool.editor.feature/pom.xml

In com.archimatetool.editor.fullscreen.macos/pom.xml: 
This plugin cannot be found in the 
Debian Maven repository. Ignore this 
plugin?  
org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-source-plugin:maven-plugin:0.25.0

In the maven-repos I see tycho-maven-plugin-0.25.0.pom.
Dpkg and apt-files failes.
dpkg --search /usr/share/maven-repo/org/eclipse/tycho/tycho-
  source-plugin/*/* 
apt-file search /usr/share/maven-repo/org/eclipse/tycho/tycho-
source-plugin

Then
try to enter a substitution rule of the form
s/groupId/newGroupId/ s/artifactId/newArtifactId/ jar 
s/version/newVersion/ here:

Searching the maven-repo under the debian directory does not find
a tycho-source-plugin. So where is it? And how to make a subsitution
rule for it?

(Running mh_make from testing is not possible because libtycho-java is
not available there. So I have to run it within pbuilder chroot).

RFS: Uploading new Jabberd2 version into unstable

2015-01-27 Thread W. van den Akker
Hi mentors,

Can any of the mentors upload the package Jabberd2 for me to unstable?
I tried to get it in, but previous uploaders are to busy or non
responsive. So I need another volunteer who is willing to upload it for me.
There are a few fixes (missing source file and updated copyright file).

The package can be found here:
git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-xmpp/jabberd2.git

Thanks!

Willem

Uploading package(s). (was Version after patching)

2014-03-28 Thread W van den Akker
Thanks,

Is someone willing to upload the new version of the package?
It close a bug.
The package is here: git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-xmpp/jabberd2.git

if also possible upload this one. It removes a obsolete dependency
git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-xmpp/jabber-muc.git

Thanks!

If you upload an updated package, it needs a higher version than already
present in the archive.

Using -2 sounds right.

Hi,
I have a package which have version 2.2.17-1.

Should the new version then be 2.2.17-2, or something else?

How to find which Java libs needed

Hi,

I have a JAVA package using the ANT build suite.
How can I find out which libraries are needed for compiling?
I have solved a bunch but a few are to be found.

Is there a easy way? Or is it a try and shoot method?
This is my first Java package. So any help is appreciated.

Sounds good to me. Both jabber packages are already into shape (I hope).
But I am working
on serveral other packages and support is always welcome :)

If you run the jabber services on your server and publish the
jabber-service into the DNS then
you are visible to all other jabber users (incl. Gmail, as long it
supports XMPP). You can 
talk to Apple and Windows users as long as they use a XMPP client
(pidgin or so).

Why is it so hard to get sponsor (Part 2, was: RFS Jabberd2 / Jabber-muc)

2013-06-18 Thread W. van den Akker
Hi Members,

Last February I mailed the list why some packages wont get a sponsor. I
got a few reactions of sponsors
who helped me to get the package into decent shape. But at the end no
sponsor would have time or experience with
the package to upload it. The jabber packages are obvious a strange
thing, scaring mentors away ;)
This is my second try to ITA a package. A few years earlier I tried to
get a sponsor for Scid (chess) and also nobody
was interested (?) in supporting the upload. The XMPP group is non
responsive, the previous Jabber maintainer also.

I like the Debian distribution and I am willing to help and support it.
At this moment I have a few ITA and ITP bugs. 
I find it very disappointing that for the second time I cannot manage to
get some packages in.
I read a lot mailings about the bad shape some packages are in. But if
newcomers dont have a chance (well not everyone ;))
to adopt packages then the packages will stay in bad shape.

Why is it so hard to get sponsor and why is there nobody who tries to
support the jabber uploads ;)

Greetings,
Willem

Request for support Jabberd2 / Jabber-muc

2013-06-06 Thread W. van den Akker
Hi Mentors,

Last months I was working with Cleto Martin to get Jabberd2 and
Jabber-muc into good shape for uploading it.
Now the packages are in good shape and I need a mentor to support me for
uploading and maintaining it.
Cleto does not have enough feeling with Jabber* to support me.

I tried to get in contact with the XMPP group. However it is not a real
group but more a general email address
so I dont get any response from them since december last year.

I am using Jabber* for about 8 months. It is running on a production
server without any problems. I am in contact
with upstream (mostly for jabberd2) to get things fixed, if needed.

So I need a mentor to get the packages into unstable and guide me if
there are any issues that I cannot fix myself.

The packages can be found in the git respository:
Jabberd2: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xmpp/jabberd2
Jabber-muc: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xmpp/jabber-muc

I hope to get support :)

Thanks,
Willem vdAkker

RFS: scid (updated package)

2009-05-12 Thread W. van den Akker
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 3.7.3-1
of my package "scid".
>
It builds these binary packages:
scid   - chess database with play and training functionality

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 465788, 487771

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid/scid_3.7.3-1.dsc

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

I have contacted the previous maintainer (see also #487771). He agreed
that I may continue maintaining the package for Debian.
Since the previous upload (aug-08) I have made massive changes in the
build proces after some feedback from (Sandro Tosi).

Kind regards
W. van den Akker

Dear mentors,

I have updated the package and would friendly ask if somebody would sponsor 
the package. I have added some message where it shows that its 'legal' to 
upload my package. I hope somebody will sponsor it.

After a half year the old maintainer has handed over the package to me.
Now follows the final message where the maintainer says he has no problem with 
it.

RFS: scid (updated package). Just check not upload.

2008-10-23 Thread W. van den Akker
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 3.6.26-1
of my package "scid".

But before this can be uploaded I have to wait for a orphan confirmation
from QA. This will be the end of next week.
Before that time I would appreciate it if somebody would check the package
on errors or give me some other tips to improve it and make the package
ready to upload if I get the green light.

It builds these binary packages:
scid   - chess database

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid/scid_3.6.26-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone can check this package for me.

Kind regards
 W. van den akker

No response from MIA

2008-09-25 Thread W. van den Akker
Hi,

I am trying to get the maintainership for a package (SCID, et al).
Therefore I first in may contacted the original maintainer. But he didnt
reply. And also after a second mail in june I got no response.

After that I contacted QA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), first in august second time
in september. Strangly enough I got no reply from them either.

How do I proceed? Any suggestions?

greetings,
Willem

It works with Scid. There is a note how to install it on scid, there is also
a patch for Xboard. I contacted the maintainer, but no reply yet.
It doesnt support crafty out of the box because DGT needs a GUI to
work.

RFS: libdgtnix: libraries for using DGT chess board

2008-07-14 Thread W. van den Akker
Dear mentors,

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

* Package name    : libdgtnix
  Version         : 1-9-1
  Upstream Author : Pierre Boulenguez
* URL             : http://dgtnix.sourceforge.net
* License         : GPL v2
  Section         : libs

It builds these binary packages:
libdgtnix-1-9 - libraries for using DGT chess board
libdgtnix-dev - development libraries for using DGT chess board

 Dgtnix is a POSIX driver for the Digital Game Timer board and clock. It is
 intended at acting as a layer between chess programs and the devices.

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 488965

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libdgtnix
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libdgtnix/libdgtnix_1-9-1.dsc


Because it must be used with a chessboard and can not be tested by many of
you I include the output of the program after it is installed. So you can
see its working... ;)

RFS: dgtdrv: POSIX driver for the DGT chess board

2008-07-14 Thread W. van den Akker
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "dgtdrv".

* Package name    : dgtdrv
  Version         : 1.18-1
  Upstream Author : Alexander Wagner
* URL             : http://dgtdrv.sourceforge.net
* License         : GPL v2
  Section         : games

It builds these binary packages:
dgtdrv - POSIX driver for the DGT chess board

 The main purpose of dgtdrv is to give Non-Windows-Users the opportunity
 to use their DGT Electronic Chess Board  in their used environment. In
 principle, dgtdrv allows to use almost every current chess GUI to use the
 board. The sole requirement is that this GUI offers an engine tournament 
mode.

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 488966

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dgtdrv
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dgtdrv/dgtdrv_1.18-1.dsc

Be aware the program needs the libdgtnix package which is also uploaded by
me and posted in the mentors mailinglist.
Because it must be used with a chessboard and can not be tested by many of
you I include the output of the program after it is installed. So you can
see its working... ;)

Re: Prospective package - Redmine #478741

2008-07-08 Thread W. van den Akker
Hello Richard,

I would suggest to read the New Maintainers' Guide 
(http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide). 
First its important to ensure that Redmine is not conflicting with the Debian
Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). See 2.1 of the DFSG.
If its not conflicting you can send a ITP (Intent To Package) message so that 
everyone knows you are working on the package.
After that play and enjoy to create the package.

I hope I havent forget anything. I am also just a beginning package builder.

gr,
Willem

Yes I understand. I have talked about it with the actual maintainer. But not
about orphaning.. ;)
Thanks.

RFS: scid (was scid2)

2008-07-01 Thread W. van den Akker
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 3.6.24-1.1
of my package "scid".

It builds these binary packages:
scid   - chess database

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 465788, 487771

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scid/scid_3.6.24-1.1.dsc

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

Kind regards
 W. van den akker



This packages was previosly uploaded as scid2. But after contacting the 
upstream maintainer I decided to rename it to its original name scid.

These are the comments I got on the scid2 package. Which has all been fixed.

I have contacted the origin maintainer and we agreed I would do the
maintenance of this package.

I renamed the scid2 package to scid because its in fact a continuation
of the scid package.
I remove the scid2 package from the mentors site and replaced it with
scid.

ChessDB is not included in any distribution. Scid is included but not
updated after Scid was forked. No other replacement exists.

The package it rather straight forward. I have only a few licenced
components stripped.

RFS: Scid and TeXSkak

2008-03-31 Thread W. van den Akker
Hi mentors,

I would like to be a future maintainer for serveral packages.
Two packages which I use are rather out-dated in the Debian distribution.

The previous owner of the Scid package has stopped the development. Scid is
now being developed by other people. However the current version in Debian is
not updated.

I would like to upload an updated version Scid (I named it Scid2 because the 
original Scid is stopped). The current Debian maintainer has no problem with 
the fact that I take over the Scid (and latter TexSkak) package.

Which of you mentors would like to check and upload the package and help me
to become a Debian maintainer.

Best regards,

Willem
