Re: Looking for a mentor
Adam, Thanks for doing this work. The next step is that you will want to upload your package to mentors.debian.net and mark it as needing a sponsor. There are instructions at: https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ Feel free to ask any questions along the way.

Re: Looking for a mentor
Adam, An ITP is an Intent To Package. It means that you intend to do the work to create the package. An RFP is a Request For Package. It means that you would like to see the software in Debian, but you don’t intend to do the work yourself. Based on your comment below, did you mean to file an RFP instead of an ITP? https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/[1] On Tuesday, July 16, 2024 2:27:48 PM MST Adam Danischewski wrote: > Hi, I've submitted an ITP, not sure about the timeframes or if I could help > speed things along: > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1074463 > > Any help would be appreciated, thanks! -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org [1] https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: Looking for a mentor -- multiscale molecular modeling package MMB (and molmodel)
Hej Andreas, Sure, sounds great! Thanks very much for offering to help. Sorry I have been so slow -- I have lots of administrative and pedagogical responsibility, and no students that might compile c++. I thought I saw OpenMM is already packaged. If not it should have an MIT license so might not even require permission from Simbios to package up. Molmodel is likewise also on MIT license, and I believe as maintainer I should have the authority to give permission to package that anyway. In any case Michael Sherman (former software architect at Simbios) or Joy Ku (current dissemination director) could clarify any permissions issue.

Sorry, I initially missed that warning. It is fixed now, I've re-uploaded the debs.

Re: Looking for a mentor for a couple of projects
Hi Gianfranco, and thank you for coming here to make a contribution :) I'v not uploaded a new version with the modifications yet, but I have a few questions below. please fix all the above (message #72 of bug 772823) I did all that was doable in a reasonable time. As said before, for what need more time and/or help from upstream, I've kept track of it in README.source d/changelog: no need to put your name into [] when you are the only one who worked on the package (and the signature is your) done, thanks d/rules: as said skipping tests is usually bad, please enable them if possible Yes, we'll try to do something with upstream, but I couldn't do that in a trivial way. As explained tests create VMs. This is tracked in README.source though. d/copyright: multiple-licenses looks bad to me. Is something like you can choose your favourite one? so please say something like LGPL-3 or MIT or XFree86 I don't think the same file can be licensed under the tree licenses without breaking the law. (but IANAL) Actually I based the licensing of that file on that same file : http://sources.debian.net/src/spice-html5/0.1.4-1/debian/copyright/?hl=13#L13 I can ask the maintainer there if he knows more. tests/* seems to be under LGPL-2.1+ (and also something under plugins and somewhere else, looking by a grep of the License keyword e.g. ./plugins/sample/i18n.py:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/config/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/pages/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/js/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/__init__.py:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. I guess upstream didn't update the files. I'll sent a mail to them to ask. also grepping by copyright makes some result appear not listed in copyright file. did you mean : ? ./m4/*.m4:dnl Copyright (C) 1996-2003, 2009-2010 Free Software Foundation, ./po/Makefile.in.in:# Copyright (C) 1995-1997, 2000-2007, 2009-2010 by Ulrich Drepper drep...@gnu.ai.mit.edu ./plugins/sample/po/Makefile.in.in:# Copyright (C) 1995-1997, 2000-2007, 2009-2010 by Ulrich Drepper drep...@gnu.ai.mit.edu ./config.rpath:# Copyright 1996-2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ./INSTALL:Copyright (C) 1994-1996, 1999-2002, 2004-2011 Free Software Foundation, ./INSTALL:are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright ./build-aux/config.rpath:# Copyright 1996-2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ./build-aux/pkg-version:# Copyright 2008-2012 Red Hat, Inc. not sure how to deal with those : they specify a copyright but no license except things like unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved. So, does this means that they will fall under the license of the project (LGPL-3) or are those small notices considered as a license by itself? please check if the license is really LGPL-3 and not LGPL-3+ COPYING specifies LGPL-3 ; do you mean people generally use LGPL-3+ and that upstream may have done a typo ? I'll ask. patches needs a Description: field (and they are not dep-3) will do the other stuff looks good, please ping when you have done the above, and I'll do some testing on a built package. (btw would be nice to have a setup.py and install_requires, do let python:Depends pick up the python dependencies automagically) Indeed! good suggestion given the number of python deps pulled and it seems to change quite often. I will ask for this too. Fred

Hi, It is not removed - it is still in the sources, but not in the .orig.tar.gz archive, since I read the upstream tarball should not have packaging specs inside it. Should I remove the copyright exception? For Debian sources means the orig tarball, that should be the same as the upstream shipped one (otherwise it might be a repack or a dfsg tarball). So if upstream removes them when releasing, for Debian the file doesn't exist at all. you might have everything you want in your git/svn tree, even built files or cmake or whatever. You need to document in copyright everything that is in the tarball you have with the software you upload in Debian. cheers, G.

Hello guys,
Right now I am in irc.debian.org at debian-opensis channel, if you
want we can coordinate there.

Hi,
It is not removed - it is still in the sources, but not in the
.orig.tar.gz archive, since I read the upstream tarball should not have
packaging specs inside it.
Should I remove the copyright exception?
For Debian sources means the orig tarball, that should be the same as
the upstream shipped one (otherwise it might be a repack or a dfsg
tarball).
So if upstream removes them when releasing, for Debian the file doesn't exist
at all.
you might have everything you want in your git/svn tree, even built files
or cmake or whatever.
You need to document in copyright everything that is in the tarball you have
with the software you upload in Debian.
cheers,
G.

Re: Looking for a mentor for the OpenSIPS project
Hello guys,
I worked in opensis packaging sometime ago, may be this would be useful:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-voip/opensips/trunk/debian/
or just check out the repository:
svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-voip/opensips/trunk/
Check carefully the copyright, when I checked the source code I found
several licensing types.
If you need to know something please add me to CC, I am not subscribe
to the list.
Also try to maintain it under pkg-voip umbrella :)

As soon as you fix the two above I'll give it a new spin (sorry but today I didn't have much time).

Re: Looking for a mentor for a couple of projects
Kimiki review: please fix all the above (message #72 of bug 772823) d/changelog: no need to put your name into [] when you are the only one who worked on the package (and the signature is your) d/rules: as said skipping tests is usually bad, please enable them if possible d/copyright: multiple-licenses looks bad to me. Is something like you can choose your favourite one? so please say something like LGPL-3 or MIT or XFree86 I don't think the same file can be licensed under the tree licenses without breaking the law. (but IANAL) tests/* seems to be under LGPL-2.1+ (and also something under plugins and somewhere else, looking by a grep of the License keyword e.g. ./plugins/sample/i18n.py:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/config/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/pages/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/ui/js/Makefile.am:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ./plugins/sample/__init__.py:# version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. also grepping by copyright makes some result appear not listed in copyright file. please check if the license is really LGPL-3 and not LGPL-3+ patches needs a Description: field (and they are not dep-3) the other stuff looks good, please ping when you have done the above, and I'll do some testing on a built package.

Re: Looking for a mentor for the OpenSIPS project
Hi, Gianfranco!
Thanks for looking into this and pointing me to the right documentation.
I did some package cleanup as you requested:
1) Looking through the bugs agaist wnpp[1], I found out there was a
previous Request For Package for OpenSIPS here[2] and I changed its
title to ITP and its owner.
2) I updated the changelog to close the 556131 bug[2]
3) Updated compat version to 9
4) Updated copyright format
5) Removed blank line from opensips.examples
6) Removed debian/patches
7) Added watch file
8) Increased the std version to 3.9.6 and removed the conflicts
9) I'm not sure what generated stuff you want me to remove from
debian/rules. I will look into the dh format in the following week to
convert the rules file.
I uploaded the new debs on the mentors page[3]. Can you please revise
them and let me know where I should look next?
