Re: RFS: prboom (updated package)
Thanks for the CC Miriam or I may have missed this! Right now I have a prboom package I was about to upload to mentors which Moritz was going to sponsor. It Replaces: lxdoom as we're trying to get that out of the archive. So this is interesting timing. I'd appreciate it if all packages that are requested to be sponsored were based on the package that is currently in SVN, as I'm sure every games team member appreciates! :-) Regarding Marco's improvements to the package: I kept the desktop file that he added to SVN but I reverted the icon for copyvio reasons. I can understand that being a simple mistake. I also had to revert the addition of an install file that actually caused the package to FTBFS. That was mildly irritating as it suggested that the check-in to trunk wasn't tested, but is explained by Marco's relative newness to SVN. Marco: I'm not following the situation with regards your SVN access, but assuming you have it back now (or in the future), would you mind making commits into a branch? I'll happily cherry-pick them across to trunk, and I just ask this whilst you get to grips with SVN. As for the other changes that are not committed, there's no real rush on package uploads at the moment, so I'd like to wait until the next version for those, and get them into SVN first (so someone else can test them too). -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have not verified that, but all involved parties seem to agree on this. If this package is being maintained in svn, then the best way to get your changes included, is by submitting patches in the bug tracking system. > > > that installs the .desktop file that I've added to it weeks ago.

Regain trust by submitting well tested patches in the bug tracking system, is probably a good start. The good thing is that you seem to be motivated to contribute to Debian, and it really OK to make some mistakes while learning. I still remember the horrible mistakes I've made myself, and fortunately I had good sponsors with lots of patience. :) Hope this helps, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If the addition is missing from the changelog and you are thus unsure about who did it it should get added there, and the svn log is able to make you sure who did add it. > What I need to do to have svn access again?

With the above hijack try of the package you lost even more trust than you had done through some silly mistakes, and I hope that noone is going to sponsor that package before this additional mess is solved.

I'm not sure if Marco is aware of the mailing thread about some of his commits to SVN, or if the current uploaders for prboom are aware of this request for sponsorship, but I'm really quite lost about all this, so I felt like forwarding it to the Games Team list might clarify the situation.

It builds these binary packages: prboom - clone of the legendary first person shooter Doom The package appears to be lintian clean.

Hehe, as you add yourself to the list of Uploaders this will be "your"
package soon. :) However, this addition occurs silently, without being
reflected in the changelog, which IMHO shouldn't happen.
I take it that you, being a member of the Games Team and all, have
checked this addition with the rest of the team, but I can't find
anything about this in the listarchives. Hm, the last time prboom was
mentioned was when Jon's packaging on which your packaging appears to
be based was reviewed in August ...
Some further points:
- why 2:2.4.7*+dfsg*-1 when the orig.tar.gz is identical content-wise to
upstream's tarball? It appears the new fix_upstream.sh wasn't run /
didn't work as intended.
- do you know why upstream went back to older autotools and put outdated
config.{guess,sub} in the tarball? Just wondering...
- part of the fix for bug#404826 was to use the configure option
--disable-dogs, but this option has been stripped upstream from 2.4.7.
Won't this re-open the bug now?
- fix_upstream.sh references base.png, but there's only a base.sng.
- why bumping the B-D versions on the libsdl packages (and libsmpeg,
fwiw, even though it's not documented in the changelog)? At a first
glance I couldn't see any code changes that demand such a bump. It
seems you just entered the versions as present in Etch...?
- falling back from Standards-Version 3.7.2.1 to 3.7.2 isn't documented
either.
First tests didn't show any showstoppers regarding functionality.
Well, I'm interested in sponsoring this, but I'm afraid there are too
many open questions at the moment. Please comment on them so I get the
picture.
Cheers,
Flo
