If you're going to capitalise it like that, you should write Apache
HTTP Server, since that's the correct name.

debian/control has been changed accordingly. Sources, packages and other 
debian related files and archives are available from


http://people.apache.org/~mxmanghi/deb/

obviously only version 2.0.1-3 has all the changes that were suggested 
on this list

An upload should be a -1 since the Debian archive has never seen the package
before so you've to combine the changelog into one entry.
The changes made on the way to this first upload will be only seen in
your VCS if you use one. The Vcs-Git lines in debian/control should be
modified to reflect that or be removed.

So far I've just fed the source package to lintian and there
are already a bunch of issue listed. Some of them are not that important
(wishlist) but others should be tackled.

If you're not already doing it you should also build the package in clean
enviroment with pbuilder et. al. and afterwards, as a very basic check, feed
the resulting package (via the .changes) file to lintian.

I'd recommend you apt-get install lintian and look through the
recommendations for yourself. If you work on Debian/stable you've to install
the lintian package from backports.d.o.

That's not entirely right. You can use -sa -v2.0.1 when you build the package
to get everything right.

-sa uploads the sources and -v2.0.1 includes all the relevant changelog entries

Bug#599446: ITP: libapache2-mod-rivet -- Server-side Tcl programming system combining ease of use and power

2010-10-08 Thread Massimo Manghi
Hi Sven,

thanks for the suggestion. I rebuild the packages with pbuilder and they're now
on the same dir at http://people.apache.org/~mxmanghi/deb/. The debian number
has been reset to -1 and I removed the unnecessary lines from debian/control.
Building with pbuilder brought up a series of issues that hadn't been addressed
initially. I changed the also the Makefile in order to keep the html manual
pages when dh_clean runs. This avoids lengthy and complex dependencies with
respect html generation tools such as the docbook and xsltproc. They appear to
be lintian free (I didn't run lintian within pbuilder though)

A question about pbuilder. It took me a while to figure out how to
use pbuilder because it failed to detect the package dependencies. During the
the initialization of the build process package pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy
didn't install because it required debhelper (!!) which wasn't installed in the
base system. I got it into base.tgz using a hook procedure but I'm puzzled to
see a fundamental tool to building packages being left out from the default
environment. What is the rationale behind this choice?

 thanks

 -- Massimo

2010-10-07 Thread Massimo Manghi
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Massimo Manghi mxman...@apache.org


* Package name: libapache2-mod-rivet
  Version : 2.0.1
  Upstream Author : The Rivet Team rivet-...@tcl.apache.org
* URL : http://tcl.apache.org/rivet/
* License : Apache-2.0
  Programming Lang: C, Tcl
  Description : Server-side Tcl programming system combining ease of use 
and power

Apache Rivet is a system for creating dynamic web content via a
programming language integrated with Apache Web Server. It is
designed to be fast, powerful and extensible, consume few system
resources, be easy to learn, and to provide the user with a platform
that can also be used for other programming tasks outside the web
(GUI's, system administration tasks, text processing, database
manipulation, XML, and so on). In order to meet these goals
Tcl programming language was chosen to combine with the Apache Web
Server.

If Rivet only works with Tcl, then instead of saying via a programming
language, say, via the Tcl programming language.  Otherwise, it's
confusing because at first the description implies that any programming
language might be acceptable, whereas later I read to mean that only Tcl
is available.
