My package "libdvdcss-pkg" has the following in its description: [snip] . libdvdcss is a library for accessing and unscrambling DVDs encrypted with the Content Scramble System (CSS). It is a free software but it may be illegal in some jurisdictions. As well as debconf notice: are you sure you want to build and install libdvdcss? Please be aware that libdvdcss may be illegal in some jurisdictions. . Source files will be downloaded from videolan.org. Please advise if the above warnings are strong enough. > ... and of course, as a more general advice, please avoid duplicating > efforts and converge on a single implementation, whatever, but please > only one :-) Indeed. In this case there wasn't much of duplication because implementations are substantially different. I believe having two proof-of-concept implementations can allow peer review to have a good starting point for decision whichever is better and make possible to actually try the package rather than having long theoretical discussions about how it could be done. I'm sure eventually we will be merging our efforts when Andres Mejia (the author of the other implementation) will find time to reply. Thank you. All the best, Dmitry. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Bug#505924: cwm
James, I use LXDE and I would like give cwm a go. If I can get it working on my system I'll certainly work with you to get it uploaded into Debian. I would not really call myself a competent X11 administrator so maybe I am not your ideal uploader. On the other hand maybe I'm ideal because I will ask all the right stupid questions. And because they're stupid questions please feel free to tell me why they are stupid questions. So here are some stupid questions for starters: 1,) I'm running LXDE and openbox and I know nothing about X11. How do I get cwm working? Could I have that in a README.Debian file please? 2.) Why doesn't the package have a "Provides: x-window-manager" clause like openbox does? 3.) What steps have you taken to check that cwm will fit into the Debian environment? Have you looked at say http://wiki.debian.org/WindowManager? Compared with openbox? Then there are issues I picked up on myself but found reiterated in the existing bug report: 4.) "I would remove the last sentence of the first paragraph though (about the code that used to come from 9wm), as it doesn't seem very relevant anymore." More generally I feel your long description should answer the following questions: What is cwm?; Why might I want to use cwm? Why might I not want want to use cwm? I think you're almost there but as it stands the bits about .cwmrc and virtual desktops seem out of place. You may want that information in there but I would suggest thinking about it again. 5.) "And if you don't use a VCS for your packaging, you should remove those commented-out lines." Have you considered using collab-maint as a repository? http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/PackagingProject?highlight=%28CategoryAlioth%29 6.) "There is no upstream changelog as there is none provided." "The README doesn't contain useful information for end-users, so you shouldn't install it." Actually the README contains the upstream changelog. So you should install the README as the upstream changelog. [More strategically you could ask upstream to generate a report from the Openbsd repository to get an upstream changelog. Or you could do that yourself perhaps.] For completeness I'll also reiterate the comments from Benoit Knecht: 7.) In debian/control, the debhelper version dependency should simply be ">= 9" instead of ">= 9.0.0". 8.) And in the same file, the long description contains a few double-spaces. 9.) "But prehaps you should consider Depending on xserver-xorg (or at least Recommend it, if that makes more sense). You could also Suggest xinit, as it seems like a nice way to start such a minimalistic window manager." [7 & 8 seem sensible to me. I cannot comment on this one.] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
