Bug#109220: Gftp Debian Package
Hi, Aurélien! I have lots of work for you :- Aurélien Beaujean dijo: > I correct minors bugs and wishlist items #126134, #123932 and #116619. On my first, quick look, I have seen that debhelper thinks this is a native Debian package, wich is wrong. You have to: $ cp gftp-2.0.10.tar.gz gftp_2.0.10.orig.tar.gz before you build the package. See the underscore "_", it means the name of the package ends there. The .orig. part means this is what you downloaded from upstream's site. On debian/changelog you should state that you are adopting the package and that it is no longer orphaned. I suggest: * New mantainer (Closes: #109220) On debian/docs, you may want to include: ABOUT-NLS THANKS docs/USERS-GUIDE which may be useful to the final user. On debian/menu, you may want to include an entry for the icon. Convert docs/gftp.png to xpm using whatever app you like (Gimp, Imagemagick's convert...) and add an Icon entry. On debian/control, please check: /usr/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz to see if you can upgrade the package's Standards-Version: to 3.5.6.0. This document is a simple list of changes that should be made to packages to make them be up to date. This is not very important at this moment, but it is a nice thing to do. This file comes with the package debian-policy. Install it, memorize it ;-) or just use it as reference and good advice. On debian/rules, please change export DH_COMPAT=2 to DH_COMPAT=3, as this is the debhelper version you are using. If you want, you can send a patch to the upstream developer regarding the xpm you changed. I personally like it a lot :-) Also send a patch for the corrected German translation. First, introduce yourself, explain what you are doing in Debian, and then warn him that you will be sending him bugs from now on, and include the patches, he will love you! ;-) I think this is not a lot of work, and probably [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be asking you to do all this for your Tasks and Skills and not me, but I am going to upload the package to Debian, and I want to do it soon, beacuse I think it will benefit users. IMHO, gftp is the only decent grafical FTP client, and they deserve the latest version. So I am going going to upload the best possible package :-) I keep an CC to the bug number so that it's easy for Gopal to see that you have been working hard. I also have to also congratulate you as the package is lintian clean! Lintian is a wonderful tool :-) that checks for common errors and points them out. Please, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any doubts regarding all these requests, and you can also find useful comments on the debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list. People is there to help, don't be afraid to ask. Thank you for your work on Debian. -- .''`.

Bug#109220: Gftp Debian Package
Hi, Aurélien && Josip! Aurélien Beaujean dijo: > Sorry but i am still not a Debian developper. You don't have to be one to place an ITA (Intend To Adopt). If you seriously intend to package and mantain newer versions of gftp, please place one. > The way for becoming it is long :) but i hope that i will be at the > beginning of January. Josip is your sponsor, he will upload the packages you make to the archive, while you become a Developer. Users are already placing wishlist bugs for the new version to be packaged. I have taken a look, and the package is really nice, there's really not much work to do. Josip left it in great shape :-) > The last package i realised is here: > http://abj.free.fr/gftp-2.0.9/ It would be nice if you made it apt-eable. Hint: $ cd ¿/var/www/? $ mkdir -p debian/gftp/ $ mv gftp-2.0.9/* debian/gftp/ $ cd debian/ $ touch overridefile $ dpkg-scansources ./ overridefile ./ > Sources $ dpkg-scanpackages ./ overridefile ./ > Packages $ gzip -9 Sources $ gzip -9 Packages The sources.list entry to use would the look like this: deb http://abj.free.fr/debian/ ./ deb-src http://abj.free.fr/debian ./ Test this setup and place a note, like a README file with the lines above. Please also upgrade the package to the latest upstream version, I have tested it and it is suitable for packaging. Check if it also fixes any bugs, I haven't because I don't want to work on this a lot if you are the one to keep it. Forward upstream the bugs it didn't fix. Send patches :-) [This will speed up your Task and Skills] Once Josip uploads your new packages, get in touch with bug submitters, ask them if bugs are fixed in the new version. Close the ones that are, work on the ones that aren't. Start getting the taste of what it means to work in Debian. A great experience. Please take this just as advice, I only intend to help. I hope I can soon say "Wellcome to Debian". -- .''`.
