Re: [Ubuntu] My actions after the IRC meeting (Was: Reminder and Agenta for IRC meeting)
Thanks for the report. Unfortunately I forgot to attend... To anyone going to FOSS4G as well: there will be a bird-of feather session for the osgeo live dvd. Since they are basically doing the same (packaging/writing install scripts for debian/ubuntu) it would be nice if you could drop by (no time fixed yet though). http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2013_BirdsOfAFeather Johan On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 7:24 PM, Andreas Tille andr...@an3as.eu wrote: Hi, as you know yesterday we had an IRC meeting[1] and I want to present first results from the meeting. 1. Moved debian-gis from SVN to Git --- As you hopefully know the debian-gis source package also contain the tasks which are responsible for the web sentinel[2]. In the meeting it was decided to move it from SVN to Git. So if you debcheckout --user=you debian-gis you get only a README.status file pointing to the new location[3]. Note to Hamish: You see that I did not followed your initial wish to move it to pkg-grass area. You had the reasoning: Sep 16 22:38:26 Hamish_B better to put debiangis things in debiangis repo IMO, then have blends be the servant not the master because there is no such thing like a master-servant relation. Currently most Blends are inside blends/project and as long as there is no more stringent reason to change this it has some advantages to stick here. I ensured that the interested members of the IRC meeting yesterday are granted commit-permissions by adding Francesco Lovergine (frankie) Hamish Bowman (hamish-guest) Bas Couwenberg (sebastic-guest) to the Blends team. If this should show any drawback we can move the Git repository easily. 2. Wrote script to easily trigger websentinel creation -- I mentioned yesterday that it is documented how to receate the web sentinel after changing the tasks[4]. To smoothen your learning curve I added a small script[5] which you can call like blends_websentinel_update debian-gis to trigger the creation of the web pages[6]. I hope you consider this useful. Please test, whether it really works for you. Please note that the script also fetches a logfile which contains useful information about packages that are not found (may be spelling errors, different name of binary and source package - you always need to specify source packages). 3. OSGEO categories --- Hamish pointed me to a set of OSGEO categories[7]. I promised to inject these into the Blends framework and did the first one while the IRC meeting was running. Because this is high on my todo list I think I manage this before my vacation. 4. Update osm2pgsql --- apmon (whoever this nick might belong to) asked about an upgrade of osm2pgsql. I had a look into this and might at least push the package a bit. No promise that I'll finish it before my VAC (starting at 20.9.). 5. Sponsering of osgearth - Bas Couwenberg has added osgearth to my SoB[8] page. I confirm that osgearth is on the Blends pages[9] so the SoB criterion is matched. Bas I try to do my best but VAC is approaching (see above). 6. Wiki links to new thermometer There was agreement to link to the new Blends based thermometer[10] on DebianGis Wiki[11] and I also replaced this link at [12] and [13]. It might make sense to set a redirect on the old thermometer page anyway. Thanks to all who joined the meeting Andreas.

Hi Jérémy, On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 02:12:58AM +0200, Jérémy Lal wrote: Some minor comments : * please document in changelog the switch to dh9, and why (is it for a simpler hardening config, for multiarch ?) Uhmm, just forgot to mention this. (fixed) I always use debhelper 9 since it is in stable. The main reason is hardening. * LastChanged isn't a DEP3 field. Last-Update and Author are. fixed (sorry for beeing lazy to check DEP3) * the fact the source has some files stripped out of it should be documented in the Source multiline field of debian/copyright, for ease of maintenance. Hmmm, the only files that are striped out are from a debian/ dir inside the original source. I forgot to mention that we should talk to upstream (which is hereby done because Kai Krueger is obviously reading the list) to drop these files and integrate them properly into our packaging repository. Or do you refering to something else? I used git import-orig --pristine-tar and needed to merge the diff in debian/ afterwards. I have noticed that upstream contains some debconf code which is lacking in our packaging but could be potentially interesting. If somebody volunteers to test it we should probably include it as well (and ask upstream to completely drop the debian/ dir. Kai, if you want to join the packaging effort together with Debian GIS team you should create a login at https://alioth.debian.org and become a member of pkg-grass. I would (strongly) recommend this. * i propose to watch github like that: version=3 opts=filenamemangle=s/.+\/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz/osm2pgsql-$1.tar.gz/ \ https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/releases .*/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz Fine for me. If you have tested this please commit yourself. * and get-orig-source from github using uscan, see for example http://sources.debian.net/src/mapnik-vector-tile/0.3.2%2Bdfsg-1/debian/rules Usually I create only get-orig-source targets when some repackaging is needed. BTW, just for removing files from a tarball there is some light at horizon with an enhanced uscan[1]. I'm personally using this since a long time and perhaps mapnik-vector-tile could be simplified by using this. A safe way for those who do not have the enhanced uscan in their path is demonstrated here: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/python-biom-format/trunk/debian/get-orig-source?view=markup This could help as long as this new code is not integrated into devscripts. I can do the changes myself and push them, or part of them, if you agree. I definitely agree and from my perspective there is no need to ask in team maintained packages (even if some coordination does not harm for sure). Kind regards Andreas.

Hi, I worked a bit on osm2pgsql On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 07:24:23PM +0200, Andreas Tille wrote: ... 4.

I just upgraded the packaging as is but have no idea how to test the package. If I get confirmation that the package is OK, I could upload to unstable.
