RFS: AudioLink: makes managing and searching for music easier
Hi all, Please go through AudioLink, the software I've packaged. Details: * Package name: audiolink Version : 0.04 Upstream Author : Amit Shah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://audiolink.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPLv2 Description : makes managing and searching for music easier AudioLink is a tool that makes searching for music on your local storage media easier and faster. Your searches can include a variety of criteria, like male artists, female artists, band, genre, etc. . It works with MP3 files and creates a mysql database in which it stores the information about the music files. AudioLink creates 'portable' playlists in the form of symlinks pointing to the original files on the disk, so that if you juggle between music players, you don't have to deal with the incompatibilities of the softwares. Packages available at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-all/audiolink/ AudioLink also has support for handling Ogg Vorbis files, but since libogg-vorbis-header-perl (perl interface to Ogg Vorbis) isn't in Debian yet, I've changed the upstream sources a bit so that the Debian version skips Vorbis files. (btw, I've packaged libogg-vorbis-header-perl too, if you're interested, pls sponsor that too :-) Waiting for comments and sponsors. Amit. -- Amit Shah http://amitshah.nav.to/
making frottle package
Greetings. My first debian package... I am attempting to compile frottle, a wireless traffic shaper. I have read the new-maint guide. In the INSTALL documentation for frottle it says thus: - There is a 'feature' in iptables which may cause make to fail. If you get errors like: /usr/include/net/if.h:45: parse error before `0x1' /usr/include/net/if.h:111: redefinition of `struct ifmap' etc Then you need to edit /usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_queue.h and change "#include " to "#include ". - How do I handle something like this in a package? I need to make the change because I am getting the error, but not sure what the _right_ way to do this is? --Luke

The best way is to provide corrected versions of the header in the package source, and change the affected files to include them instead of the ones on the system. -- Joshua Kwan pgpDjovWJ8O3O.pgp Description: PGP signature
lintian vs. linda error
Hello I have some problems to understand where I have to put the perl modules. When I put them in /usr/lib/perl5 I get from lintian (linda shows no error): W: psad: package-installs-nonbinary-perl-in-usr-lib-perl5 usr/lib/perl5/Psad.pm W: psad: package-installs-nonbinary-perl-in-usr-lib-perl5 usr/lib/perl5/IPTables/Parse.pm so I move this to /usr/share/perl5 and linda blubers (lintian shows no error): W: psad; Architecture-dependant package installs into /usr/share/perl5. W: psad; Architecture-dependant package installs into /usr/share/perl5. Linda, version 0.2.23 Lintian v1.22.9 Now, where do I put it? Daniel

adoption of irssi debian package
Hi, I would like to adopt the irssi debian package you currently maintain. I actually use this software and find it very useful on a public IRC channel. I am also sending this e-mail to the debian-mentors list so I can maybe get a bit more help. By the way, list reader, is this the correct procedure? Iroffer is currently in version 1.2b22, and current sid provides 1.2b20. There aren't much changes between these versions, but I think I can help you upgrading to that version and, at the same time, learn some things. I don't have much experience packaging software, but I've read the new maintainers guide, and currently finishing reading the Debian Policy. I am myself an experienced Debian user, so I want As far as I remember, the first thing I have to do is to send a message to that bug (211995) with a subject: ITA: irssi -- IRC file distribution bot Is that correct? If you agree, I can send you the patch to the updated package source when I'm done, so you can check my changes. Then, if you approve so, could you help me find a sponsor? Thank you, Yves

Does your package contain any architecture-dependent code, i.e. XS modules (look for .so, .bs)? If so, you probably want to put the modules in /usr/lib/perl5 and ignore lintian.
