Hi Graham and Joël, [ Graham, should I drop direct e-mail to you, i.e. do you receive the mail via the PTS anyway? ]
As you might have seen, I set up a git repository on Alioth [1], with a link to it from the PTS [2]. I used "git import-dscs" to get a proper history of (open)motif, at least as far as available from snapshot.d.o. Future tar balls should be imported by using "git import-orig" > Paul: I saw your mail regarding my request to join collab-maint, thanks. It seems you don't have access yet, I fear, see below. > Besides my packaging of motif 2.3.4 I made available here: > https://launchpad.net/~ginggs/+archive/ppa/ I looked at your work, and it looks good. I have several minor questions/remarks. - Did you make any changes to be able to upgrade the standard version (I always note the changes in the changelog, even if there are none) - Do I understand correctly that you replaced autotools by a dependency on dh_autoconf? (Please note these things in the changelog). - Could we propose a configuration flag for the demo stuff, so that upstream can keep track of the demo programs and we don't have to patch the source? - My fix [3] for "format not a string literal and no format arguments" is slightly different for sprintf cases. Shouldn't it be better to replace the sprintf by a simple strcpy? - d/motif-client.links is not useful now, I suggest you remove it. - I like to reduce the amount of lintian warnings as well. I will propose some fixes later. - I was thinking that it might be a good idea to ship the three libraries in separate packages, so that we fulfill policy 8.1 and get lintian happy on that point. I would like you to do the git push of the 2.3.4 stuff. Do you want to wait until you have access to collab-maint, or do you want me to commit your changes, and contribute my changes as well?
