RFS: php-simpletest

2009-03-24 Thread david wright- [白熊]

Hello,

This is actaully in response to a bug fix for, 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428013

The package already exists, http://packages.debian.org/lenny/php-simpletest, I 
have contacted the current maintainer, Charles, who stated that he doesn't have 
time to maintain this package any longer, so I offered to maintain it.

Either way, I have built and tested a new version, (current upstream version)

[dwri...@debian simpletest]$ tar zcv php-simpletest -f php-simpletest.tar.gz

php-simpletest/php-simpletest_1.0.1_i386.changes

php-simpletest/php-simpletest_1.0.1.tar.gz
php-simpletest/php-simpletest_1.0.1_all.deb

you can find it here, http://dwright.us/misc/php-simpletest.tar.gz

Thanks,

RFS: mp3splt-gtk, mp3splt (updated package), and libmp3splt

NOTES ABOUT PACKAGING:
mp3splt will need to be uploaded at a later time, once libmp3splt
passed through NEW.
I have some strict versioned (build-)dependencies used, this is because
upstream has told me to make sure to keep the version of mp3splt(-gtk)
installed with the version of libmp3splt that was released at the same
time
I have not used dpkg symbols control files. This is because of the
strict versioned dependencies, and because upstream says that they
won't pay attention to API compatibility, ABI compatibility, or
changing the soname, so there's really no point.
I've got a bit of weird stuff in the packaging (debian/rules.local,
debian/control.base, debian/regenerate.sh, debian/generate, and
debian/shlibs-string.sh), but this is just added complexity to make
things easier for me, and automate some of the manual tasks. :)
Also, all of the packages in the libmp3splt source package conflict
with and replace the (non-existant) libmp3splt package. This is to
support smooth upgrades from upstream's unofficial packages. I'm not
sure if I used Replaces correctly, tho...

Thanks,
Ryan

debian/watch file

2009-03-24 Thread Panagiotes [paggas] Mousikides
Hi,

I've noticed that lintian produces a warning when a package has no 
debian/watch file (at least when run with the -iI flags). I read the uscan(1) 
manpage, as the warning suggests, but I still am not sure if I got the format 
of the debian/watch file right. The manpage has this example:

ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/web/c_cpp/cweb/cweb-(.*)\.tar\.gz

If I got it correct, it means that (.*) will match the version used for the 
orig.tar.gz archive?

Yes. Unfortunately, I just noticed that it will also match *zero*
characters in that position (since the ‘*’ matches zero or more of the
preceding atom). This contradicts the common wisdom to make the regex
as specific as possible.

So, a better example would be:

ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/web/c_cpp/cweb/cweb-(.+)\.tar\.gz

which will match only when there are one or more characters in the
version-string position.

The keyword here is "before".  There were bugs in binutils exposed on 
some architectures, especially for C++ linking.  Maybe new architectures 
like armel are still problematic in some cases.  The problem Bernhard

I'm not into bfd enough to understand what it actually does, but both things
I can imagine would be another argument against using it:

1) if it means to not remove libraries that suplies symbols that another library
   needs but that library is not linking to suplying library

In this case it has nothing to do with the example I gave, because this only
makes a difference if a library does not link to all the libraries it needs,
which was not the case in my example.

2) if it means to not remove a library that is already needed by a library 
needed

In this case --as-needed would still produce warnings in dpkg-shlibdeps
for the harmless case (a program linking in dependencies of its libraries to
support static linking), while it would silence warnings for the cases you
would want to know about: linking against libraries not used at all.
(Because in this case either something is very strange with the build-system
or the "no used at all" is not really true).

Hochachtungsvoll,
Bernhard R. Link

Actually I'm not running automake, do I need to?
I just refresh configure after modifying configure.in to add some
localization support; Makefile.am and Makefile.in work ok as they are,
so I left them untouched...

Can you provide the patch you are applying to configure.in? It is often
not necessary to touch this file. Sometimes you can easily patch
configure or "fix" variable values during the `make' call.

Re: RFS: CLAM, C++ library for audio and music

2009-03-24 Thread David García Garzón
A new version of the following source packages is available at:
http://clam-project.org/download/linux-debian-sid/svnsnapshots

#493282 ITP: clam -- CLAM, C++ Library for Audio and Music
#517910 ITP: clam-chordata -- CLAM Chordata, chord detection tool
#518353 ITP: clam-plugins -- Extension plugins for the CLAM audio framework
#517882 ITP: clam-networkeditor -- CLAM Network Editor, prototyping tool for 
CLAM

Could someone review and eventually sponsor them?

Please, ignore clam-annotator and clam-smstools source packages at that url 
and consider just the ones in the above list. Specially 'clam' which is the 
one other three packages depend on.

Changes are as follows:
* Updated to the latest svn version.
* clam-plugins: now includes manpage for the ContinuousExcitationSynthesizer 
binary,
* clam-plugins: the other two binaries are not compiled anymore as they were 
an old version of the synth (eBowSynthesizer) and a test binary 
(TestAudioDatabaseReader).
* Added myself as Uploader and signed the package

Still some issues and doubts someone in the list might help me to solve:

* Should I split this RFS thread into several as i did for the ITP bugs?

* The only lintian warning i get is:
W: libclam13: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libclam-audioio13 libclam-
core13 libclam-processing13
As suggested by a debian developer and according to libpkg-guide we joined the 
library as the three libraries are going to change the soname at once on every 
release (i am also upstream release manager), but in some sponsoring 
guidelines i read that sponsored packages should be lintian clean including 
warnings. Should i ignore the warning or should i split the binary packages?

Substituting the doc/ dir with a symlink

2009-03-24 Thread Rodrigo Gallardo
Policy 6.6.4 says that, when unpacking an upgraded package

... A directory will never be replaced by a symbolic link to a
 directory or vice versa; instead, the existing state (symlink or not)
 will be left alone and dpkg will follow the symlink if there is one.

Which means that, when naively trying to replace the doc dir of a
package with a symlink to my arch indep -data package I get bugs like
#521047.

Is the 'right' solution to that adding a postinst check that deletes a
leftover empty dir and manually creates the symlink? Or will I get
into a worse mess? What do I do if the dir is not empty (which could
only happen if the dir was locally messed up with)? Do I just error out?

This will be easier said than done -- the direct changes seem pretty

Dear Tristan,

lintian is easy to backport. Just "debcheckout" lintian, "git checkout" the tag
that corresponds to the latest release, and build the package.

No. If you're uploading the package targeted at Debian ‘sid’, you must
build and test the package in a Debian ‘sid’ system.

Note that this isn't the same thing as requiring you to run ‘sid’ as
your *primary* operating system. Look at the ‘pbuilder’ package for a
useful tool to build and test packages in an isolated environment.

It seems silly to have libclam-audioio, libclam-core and
libclam-processing when you change the SONAME on all three at the same
time. Why not just have libclam?

Changing the SONAME at every release isn't the right thing to do
either, it should only be changed when you break the ABI.

Ahhh, upstream should not be using this variable, please get them to
switch to the po/LINGUAS file instead. This way it should not be
nessecary to rebuild the configure & Makefiles in order to support and
install a new language.
