Hello all, I am trying to package qingy (qingy.sf.net) for which there are 2 RFPs - 309672 and 236706 - in BTS for a looong time.
I have tried it on my system and seems ok, although there seems to be some kind of race condition in the code resulting in a deadlock if the user changes the tty back and forth freneticaly. That is an upsteam problem, but I have also some another problems: - if I add dh_shlibdeps to the build then I have a warning during the build of the package - something about misc libs not being defined and some nasty errors during installation, but the package installs and works, anyway; also lintian reports an unnecessary call to ld - if I remove dh_shlibdeps, then the package results in a cyclic dependency on itself, but the misc issue disappears; also the ld issue is gone - the compile generates a set of 3 libqingy* files; do I have to make a libqingy package, too? - there is a qingy file in etc/pam.d which is not copied in the package, although I added dh_installpam; the directory in the resulting package is empty and the file in question is not anywhere in the package; - the application is licensed under the GPL, but the documentation is GFDL; I saw that the upstream authors say "free programs need free documentation", thus I feel they (only 2 of them) would agree to changing the documentation license; what do you suggest I should do? Can anybody help me? This is my first package* so please bear with me as I might not know what I am talking about sometimes**. * I have another ITP, but is quite hard for a first package, so I postponed it, for now. ** I was under the impression I took the source package with myself, from home to work. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
