Dear Mentors, I am looking for a sponsor of the cdw packages I have recreated as the previous maintainer was unresponsive it was removed from Debian[1]. But first, facts about the package: * Package name : cdw Version : 0.2.3 Upstream Author : Balazs Varkonyi (vbali) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://cdw.sf.net/ * License : GPL v2 Description : Tool for burning CD's
Ncurses-based frontend for cdrecord and mkisofs. It can handle audio and data CD burning, through a CD image or directly from the files. I am not new to packaging, but this is my first multi binary package even if it's lintian clean, and I have passed all steps depending on me for becoming a Debian Developer[2]. So I would like to ask around if I do everything correctly, and later someone to upload it for me. The package is available from m.d.n[3], my repository[4] and from my web page[5]. Basically the package builds as follows: - create a build-tree/ with cdw/ and gcdw/ subdirs under debian/ - configure both binary packages into them, and make the packages there - make install the cdw package into debian/tmp/ , and copy the gcdw binary from it's compilation (gcdw contains GTK+ based GUI support) - use dh_install to separate the files to multiple binary packages, and do all the stuff to create the deb's Does this sound reasonable? I think I have two mistakes: - cdw-common should not depend either on cdw or gcdw - cdw and gcdw may conflict with each other, as gcdw also contains console support (and needs the -g flag to actually start in GUI mode, so I may hack it to start in GUI mode if called as gcdw) Question (but I will re-read the relevant policy section): why the package menus do not show up under Gnome2.6? IMO the section may be wrong.
