Hello again, I'm replying to a message that wasn't originally sent to me (right?) so excuse the threading problem. I've seen the message using google groups while attempting to submit a new RFS for the latest version.
I've uploaded the final 0.1.6 version of vbackup to mentors.debian.net (along with my page and freshmeat) so it is time to send an RFS (but I'm not sending a new one). I'm replying to the "old" thread available here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.devel.mentors/browse_frm/thread/32d30bff736b5819/e8addbd84213ce91?#e8addbd84213ce91 > OoO En ce début d'après-midi ensoleillé du samedi 26 juillet 2008, vers > > 15:59, Stefanos Harhalakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> disait : > > I am looking for a sponsor for my package "vbackup". > > > > * Package name : vbackup > > Version : 0.1.6pre1-1 > > Upstream Author : Stefanos Harhalakis (me) > > * URL : http://www.it.teithe.gr/~v13/ > > * License : GPLv3 > > Section : admin > > It builds these (not-so-)binary packages: > > vbackup - A modular backup utility > > Hi Stefanos! > > Your GPG key is signed by nobody.

I've extended and included the man page in the original source code so there is no need to have a debian specific one any more. > Your Depends line in debian/control is empty.

Well, that's something that I can't answer. vbackup uses xfsdump, mdadm, lvm2, postgresql-common, mysql-common etc but doesn't actually require any of them. One can have xfsdump only while another one can have postgresql-common only. I've included them as Suggests. Is this correct? Appart from those, to my knowledge, vbackup doesn't need anything non-essential. > It seems that debian/watch is not able to catch the latest version. That happened because it wasn't actually uploaded (SVN server was down). It should be OK right now. > debian/copyright says GPLv2 while COPYING says GPLv3. Most files say > GPLv2, so debian/copyright seems to be correct. Thanks for the bug report :-). My intention is to make everything available under GPLv3. I don't find this to be an urgent issue so I'll keep it for the next version. In the mean time I believe that it is acceptable to have parts of vbackup available as GPLv2. After all this is a modular backup program where every module-script can have its own license. > You should also correct those lintian warnings: > I: vbackup: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man8/vbackup.8.gz:32 > W: vbackup: doc-base-unknown-section vbackup:6 admin I believe that they are fixed since "lintian -I" doesn't produce any errors/warnings/infos and mentors.debian.net says the same thing. > Maybe you should ship a minimal configuration like saving /etc and dpkg > database.

In the 0.1.6 version I've added a configuration wizard which can create a working basic configuration. This is now the recommended way to start using vbackup and it also mentioned as such in the README and the man page. p.s: please CC any replies to me too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
