Go ahead. I am generally interested, others might be interested,
too. But we will not be able to promise anything before you have shown
us your attempts to fix some of the bugs.

Be sure to read

Somehow off this list I got the URL where one can download the packages
you prepared. I started looking at them, here are some remarks. Please
reply on the list.


* debian/copyright:

You include the text of LPPL 1.0, although the package has a "or later"
clause, and we are already at 1.3b. Furthermore, many of the changes from
1.2 to 1.3 where introduced because debian-legal regarded older versions
as very problematic.

I think you should include 1.3a and put a remark into the file
explaining why. Furthermore, you should contact upstream and talk with
him about a rewording of the sentence about program renaming: The
exception from the old LPPL restrictions that he grants might already be
covered by LPPL-1.3b, and he might want to use that wording or simply
drop it.

* debian/changelog:

- Since your first version was never published AFAIK, I'd suggest that
  you have only one changelog entry. Otherwise, don't forget the right
  options to dpkg-buildpackage (and don't forget to tell your sponsor).

- It is common practice to use the wording "New upstream version" or
  similar, not "Most/more recent upstream source". Please change it - it
  makes it more readable. And it seems to me that one can call it a
  version - it's from the yearly "release", isn't it?. Also, the new
  version is called 1.0 - is there a reason for this?

- you write:

,
|   * The following bugs were already fixed by Andrew (see README.scripts)
| I don't see why they are still open. Closes: #224807, #256834.
`

  Please do not close such bugs in the changelog - see 

file:///usr/share/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-upload-bugfix
file:///usr/share/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-changelog-misconceptions

- you write:

,
|   * Literate source included in Debian source package. Closes: #244276
`

  This doesn't say much by itself, please refer to your README.src

- Your diff.gz contains quite some stuff that does not seem to be
  Debian-specific - e.g. temp/Makefile, manpages. If you or older Debian
  maintainers wrote it, was it submitted upstream?  If not, where did
  you get it from?


* debian/README.src

  To your Point 2: For me, the interesting reason for writing a Makefile
  to create the C code would not be to "verify" that it has indeed been
  created from the literate programming sources.  Rather I'd be
  interested in being able to make changes.  One could say that what you
  wrote is about fulfilling the wording of the DFSG, while what I want
  is to be able to use the freedom the spirit of the DFSG gives me. I
  suggest you adapt the wording.

  As a solution for your third point you could simply use a sed script
  to replace the version date by the number found in the sources. Or you
  could try to fix the creation process - I'm sure there must be a way
  to do it with TeX.  I might be able to help if you provide what you
  wrote so far.

* debian/README.upgrading

  Please rename this to NEWS, so that it will be displayed by
  apt-listchanges.

* debian/postinst

  Since you depend on tetex-bin, you need not check for the availability
  of texhash and update-texmf.

  I'd prefer to have some information in the package about which other
  packages provide the /usr/bin/ht alternative.

Regards, Frank

Some more:

Re: RFS: ITA: tex4ht -- LaTeX and TeX for Hypertext (HTML)

2005-02-17 Thread Kapil Hari Paranjape
Hello,

Thanks to Frank and Vassilii for all the comments. I have made changes and
will soon put up newer versions at the following location:

http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/debian/tex4ht/

I have a number of questions which follow. If you can point me to a
document which contains the answers, I will gladly read it.

1. Versioning while testing: How does one give version numbers while
   testing the package? These versions will probably not be
   put on the main archive at any time. On the other hand those who
   are willing to test these packages will want to keep track of the
   version that they are testing!

2. Upstream versions: The upstream author has until now followed the
   version numbering -MM-DD but the recently released version is
   1.0.-MM-DD-HHMM. This is a Debian "downgrade"! What is an
   acceptable version number?

3. Maintainer created files: The previous maintainer created some additional
   files (Makefiles, man pages etc.) which are *not* used upstream and
   probably will never be. Eventually we may migrate to the build
   procedure used upstream once that is published. Meanwhile, should
   these files reside in the "debian" directory?

4. Copyright question: Upstream has added his LPPL copyright
   to /etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.env. I am distributing a modified version. What
   do I need to do in order to comply with LPPL? Or is it best to write
   a new version entirely?

Thanks and best regards,

Kapil.

P.S. I will respond individually to questions raised by Frank in a
separate mailing.

P.P.S. Sentence 2 in Qeustion 3 above needs more explanation---it will be
provided in README.src.

I have amending the copyright file. Upstream author is using 1.3.
I will e-mail him regarding the precise form of the modification 
restriction. This restriction also creates some trickiness for
/etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.env --- which is a conffile after all!

I will make an enquiry with Eitan Gurari regarding this. Currently I have
reverted to the earlier versioning scheme with the upstream addition of
the time of modification as well.

Omitted. I clearly should have read developer's reference more carefully!

The files were created by Andrew Gray (previous Debian maintainer). It is 
unlikely that these will be used upstream as explained in README.src.

I agree with you and have made the changes.
A much clearer (IMHO) version of README.src is in the newer version.

What I have is not fit for publication but the shell script for converting
tex4ht-c.tex is enclosed. The result matches the existing file precisely
and should work for any modifications made to tex4ht-c.tex as well.

What I am planning to do is to provide a mechanism for someone who *makes
changes* to the files in /src to incorporate these into a new Debian
package.

There actually used to be a package called "ht". I have referred to the
relevant bug (#101220) in the postinst so that this can be changed if
necessary.

I'm sorry. I just forgot to check that debian-mentor's was on the cc.

The current version incorporates all bugfixes over the last year. The
documentation typos have been fixed in my version.

These fonts are used if one wants to generate an html file for
incorporation into MS Word. This is perhaps still not a good enough reason :)

Once again many thanks for your detailed suggestions.

I have put up the promised newer version. The versioning scheme has

Thanks for the quick change.

Probably, in the changelog you want to say "closes" to the ITA bug.
same with the bugs currently marked as "fixed-upstream" at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=tex4ht

Note that he doesn't restrict the license. Instead, he grants an
exception from a restriction that older LPPL versions made, that is his
license is more liberal than older LPPL version.  The wording of the
exception sounds as if he wanted exactly what was introduced in
LPPL-1.3; therefore I suggested to remove it, or consider to use
identical wording to LPPL-1.3a and make the sentence just a repetition. 

> This restriction also creates some trickiness for
> /etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.env --- which is a conffile after all!

That is no problem, tex4ht.env says:

% You are allowed to modify this file without changing   %
% its name, if you modify its signature. Changes to the  %
% signature can be introduced by changing the%
% parenthesized content within the leading line of this  %
% note.  %

And LPPL-1.3a says:

,
| If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may distribute
| a Derived Work provided the following conditions are met for every
| component of the Work unless that component clearly states in the
| copyright notice that it is exempt from that condition. Only the
| Current Maintainer is allowed to add such statements of exemption to a
| component of the Work.
| 
|1. If a component of this Derived Work can be a direct replacement
|for a component of the Work when that component is used with the
|Base Interpreter, then, wherever this component of the Work
|identifies itself to the user when used interactively with that
|Base Interpreter, the replacement component of this Derived Work
|clearly and unambiguously identifies itself as a modified version
|of this component to the user when used interactively with that
|Base Interpreter.
`

So this is clearly no further restriction, it's just an explanation how
it can be achieved that the component identifies itself as modified.

Are you sure? The man page could be interesting for any user, even
outside Debian; and the Makefile was explicitly written with a
"PACKAGEDFOR" variable that changes its behavior when set to Debian, or
not.

I'd like to see this information in the changelog.

Oh, well, I'd say it is. There are other tools than MS Word that can
read such files, and the information seems to be more complete than in,
e.g., the ooffice directory.

There seems to be some problem with our web server's cache not refreshing
itself.

Anyway the correct files are now
http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/debian/tex4ht/tex4ht_20050216.2023-1.*
(Note the "1.0" has been dropped).

You do not need to download the huge .orig.tar.gz again it hasn't changed.
You only need to rename the orig.tar.gz file with the "1.0" dropped from
the name.

 mv tex4ht_1.0.20050216.2023.orig.tar.gz tex4ht_20050216.2023.orig.tar.gz

I do it the Debian way, increment the Debian version.  There are other
people using my .debs, and they need to see the version increase.
Also, it would really suck to have different versions of
foo_1.00-1_i386.deb floating around.

You could contine using -MM-DD notation.  You could also use an
"epoch": 1:1.0.-MM-DD-HHMM, which forces the otherwise lesser
version to be greater.

Depending on how many changes are in how many files, restricting the
changes to debian/ might be a nice property.  That way, the .diff.gz
is functionally equivalent to a tar cjf --- debian/.  If you have lots
of changes, then it doesn't make sense to do it like that (unless you
use dpatch, or similar, in which case all of those changes *will* be
in debian/).

I do it the same way, but I usually use NMU version numbers for my
testing: 1.00-0.1 for the first version I try to install, 1.00-0.2 for
the second. Only when i upload it does it get its -1. I think this would
also be a good approach for non-DD during communication with possible
sponsors.

Read the file ;-). 

% You are allowed to modify this file without changing   %

Change the "(unix)" to "(debian)" or something like that (and of course
adapt the date).

Some further questions/suggestions:

- I think you want to close bug #234678, but you do close #234768. 

- is #219482 fixed? 

- isn't #256834 fixed, too? 

,
|   * Fixed some types in the html documentation.
`

  Do you mean typos?

- It is common practice to have changelog entryl like "Bumped standards
  version to $foo (no changes needed)", or listing the changes.

- You should not depend only on a virtual package, gs, but rather use
  something like "Depends: gs-gpl | gs". The reason is that 

- I think you should remove debian/diffs...

- debian/postinst:

  You create symlinks in postinst - why don't you include them in the deb?

- debian/postrm:

  Why do you rm -rf /etc/tex4ht? I guess there is no consensus whether a
  package may delete locally generated files in their directories upon
  purge, some people say they shouldn't. I have no strong opinion, but
  here it seems that it is just unnecessary - is there a specific reason
  for this?

- I think it is better to set dh_compat explicitly. 

- In the versions I downloaded, there are still lintian/linda warnings
  about the script and the executable font files.

Dear Frank,

Thanks for the detailed checks.

I think I have fixed all the bugs you mentioned in the newer version
(20050216.2023-1.1).

Unfortunately not yet.

Thanks and regards,

Kapil.

Hello,

Thanks once again to Frank and Vassilii for their detective work.

A new version (20050216.2023-1.1) is now available. at

http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil/debian/tex4ht/

I am currently unable to check the build on any architecture other than
i386. I would be glad if someone would give me reports on whether the
think builds (and works!) on other architectures. (There are exactly
two files that are compiled!).

Additional note. The conversion scripts have shown up a bug (#294538) in the
"gs-esp" package so it is best to use only "gs-gpl" for now.

Thanks and regards,

Kapil.

Works here, thanks (it's still using the gs pipeline by default though rather
than dvipng).

Then don't forget to unmerge it from #244276 before you close that one.
