Bug#499907: Please don't include yet another copy of tzdata in the archive
(CCing ftpmaster so they don't miss this bit) Hi, Please, make your package use the system timezone. "The tz database is compiled into Ruby modules which are packaged in the release. No external zoneinfo files are required at runtime." That really isn't a feature in Debian, it's needless duplicating tzdata information (which is always installed since libc6 depends on it) with the associated maintenance burden. We already gone trough this with: php #447174 postgresql #458927 python-tz #416202 And still have to deal with: java 474595 Please don't add your package to the list. I hate to have to vote for rejecting a package, but I really think is for the best. I know some ruby so if you need help with a patch or something, just mention it in this bug. Thanks for taking this in consideration. Damián Viano(Des). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I think commons-configuration can be a slightly misleading name, how about libcommons-configuration-java following lots of libcommons-* packages already in the archive? -- Damián Viano(Des) ¯ ¯ - _ _ - ¯ ¯ GPG: 0x6EB95A6F Debian ¯-_GNU_-¯ Linux Web: http://damianv.com.ar/ ¯-¯ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#317759: ITP not fulfilled

The mayor problem I see with this approach is the dependency on every VCS. Right now that would be arch(tla), bazaar, bazaar-ng, bitkeeper(?), cvs, darcs and svn. Besides python, perl and bash (maybe any sh would do) which are the languages in which the scripts are written (this is a non-issue since everything is quite base in a developer desktop). Another problem is the lack of a orig.tar.gz with proper releases, so the tar.gz should be created and maintained up to date (which I'm not sure if is policy compliant) or make it a native package (which still make it hard to keep it up to date). > I agree this could be the best approach, to deliver one big package with > all dependencies covered and all the sources included. If each script > needs handling/setup, is there anything the user is not supposed to do? > I mean, the user configuration is obviously needed by such a tool. Yes, user configuration is fine with me. I just would expect more consistency about how to configure the scripts provided by one package (I've been fiddling with the idea of a enable-cia script that given a repository would set it up (with user provided input) to post to cia). Maybe I'm just being too demanding on this and we can get along with a 'you are a developer you should know what you are doing and setup everything by hand' policy.

retitle 317759 RFP: cia-clients -- Collection of CIA client scripts
thanks
This ended up being a complex/useless package for many reasons.
If 1 binary package is created then:
* You have several sources
* You have a lot of dependencies
* Each script requires different handling/setup to work
If 1 binary per script is created then:
* You end with lots of not so useful small packages
* Inconsistency between scripts handling/setups remains
Besides this problems I do found that every script is bsd or bsd-like
licensed, either directly or by stating that their are derivative of
others bsd-licensed scripts. So the license wouldn't be a problem AFAICS.
I would like to hear if someone have creative solutions to the
problems stated and even would consider retaking the package. Meanwhile
I'm dropping the ITP.
