RFS: libsmf

2010-04-05 Thread Josue Abarca
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libsmf".

* Package name: libsmf
  Version : 1.3-1
  Upstream Author : Edward Tomasz Napierała 
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/libsmf/
* License : BSD-licensed
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : LibSMF is a BSD-licensed C library for
handling SMF ("*.mid") files.
  Section : libs

  

It transparently handles conversions between time and pulses, tempo
map handling etc.
..
This package is required by Denemo.

It builds these binary packages:
libsmf0- LibSMF is a BSD-licensed C library for handling
 SMF ("*.mid") files
libsmf0-dev - Development files for the smf library
libsmf0-utils - Utilities to support the smf library

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libsmf
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian
unstable main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libsmf/libsmf_1.3-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards

A review:

The first 3 symbols in the symbols file look like they might be
internal symbols that should not be exported, is that the case?

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

The SONAME should not be added to the -dev or utils packages. I'd
recommend naming the utils package smf-utils

Why does the -dev package depend on libc-dev?

I find it interesting that upstream uses readline (GPL) rather than
editline (BSD).

Hi,

the error has been resolved by adding

mandir=$(CURDIR)/debian/antennavis/usr/share/man to make
install line in debian/rules

as you commented.

Package has been uploaded again to debian.mentors.net.

Thanks in advance,

I do not get your point.
  Are you suggesting dropping fakeroot?  
 (Why?  Without fakeroot, command can not be run.)
  Are you suggesting to call "debian/rules binary-arch" 
 (This is too pedantic and I am not sure it actually do this.)

Situation is:

debian/rules binary
   |
   +---> "dh binary"
   |
   +---+--> dh binary-arch
   |
   +--> dh binary-indep

If there is a good way to express following in English:

"fakeroot debian/rules binary" runs "fakeroot dh binary" which in turn
runs ( "fakeroot dh binary-arch" and "fakeroot dh binary-indep" )

By reading folowing text should have made it clear:

 The commands listed below are run twice, once with the "-a" option (in
 binary-arch) and once with the "-i" option (in binary-indep):

Your way of punctuation understaning makes this.  But that was not my or
Rapael's intent.  I added ";" to make them clearer.  Wait for 4 hours or so.

"fakeroot debian/rules binary" runs "fakeroot dh binary"; which in turn
runs "fakeroot dh binary-arch" and "fakeroot dh binary-indep".

As described in the Chapter 1, this is updated to squeeze.

Re: flow of things rules/debhelper

2010-04-05 Thread jmroth+deb
Hi,

I'll try to make myself clearer:

the question is: why is e.g. debian/rules binary-indep never called on
a binary independent package, assume a PHP app.

When using

%:
dh $@

it is clear that if dh doesn't call it, then nobody will, however the
policy manual says:

binary may be (and commonly is) a target with no commands which simply
depends on binary-arch and binary-indep.

So, if I have an architecture independent package it would be logical
to put my commands into binary-indep; why else would it be there.

But it is not called. When I look at my build log, this is more or
less what happens:

 debian/rules build
dh build
 [...]
 fakeroot debian/rules binary
 [...]
dpkg-deb: building package...

No sign of debian/binary-arch and/or debian/binary-indep here.
Probably because I did not write down a specific rule

binary: binary-arch binary-indep
dh $@

in debian/rules.

Looking at
 /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.{tiny,indep}
their behaviors are simply different, as dh from rules.tiny does not
follow the Makefile dependencies as seen in rules.indep.

Actually, it doesn't. dh binary just runs whatever sequence is necessary
for the binary target, starting from where it ended last, running
without even -i or -a.
dh binary-arch will do the same, but with the -a argument.
dh binary-indep will do the same, but with the -i argument.

Example:
- if you first ran dh build, then dh binary will run
  dh_auto_install, dh_install, (...), dh_installcatalogs, (...),
  dh_strip, (...), dh_installdeb, (...)
- if you ran nothing, then dh binary will run dh_auto_configure,
  dh_auto_build, dh_auto_test, dh_auto_install, etc.
- if you ran dh install, then dh binary-arch will run dh_strip -a,
  (...), dh_installdeb -a, (...)

Aside from the issues discussed with Mike ...

reality is once "debian/rules binary" is run, there is no need to run
"debian/rules binary-indep" nor "debian/rules binary-arch".  All the
piecees of actions have been done.

Normal package build process only calls binary as I understand.

This prompts me to revert back to my original text with minor updates.

dpkg-buildpackage is what I am following ... not Policy.

This dh.tiny is somewhat cheating to normal make file things.  But this
is pretty regular and easy to understand.

On buildds binary-arch is called if it exists. Otherwise, binary is
used.

I could not find this fusebsd package in Debian :( However, a related
project indeed exists [1].

As the original poster of that question on debian-mentors, I would
like to ask anyone who has access to a Debian/kFreeBSD installation to
test if fuse-convmvfs from sid works there (provided that fuse4bsd is
installed). My package builds on that architecture just fine, but
unfortunately I cannot test myself if it works there.

Well, if that would be possible I would simply prefer to add a
dependence to my package and forget about it for a while.

It seems tha the whole file src/smf_private.h shoul not export symbols,
so I will make a patch to add

#pragma GCC visibility push(hidden)
...
#pragma GCC visibility pop

and check it with upstreamer (maybe he prefers another approach).

Ok, I will change the names.

http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html#id291957

 "The -DEV package would usually declare Depends: relationship on
 all -DEV packages for libraries that the library package directly
 depends upon, with the specific SONAME version that the library
 package is linked against. This includes libc-dev. [5]

 The dependency is required to make things such as statically
 linked libraries to work, and C header file inclusions.
 ...
 
 [5] A package should depend on libc-dev, without versioned
 depends, or generate ... Not all architectures have libc-dev as
 libc6-dev."

I saw that packages like libgpm-dev does this.

Is this wrong (or deprecated)?

RFS: duply (updated package)

2010-04-05 Thread Joachim Wiedorn
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.5.2.2-1
of my package "duply".

It builds these binary packages:
duply - easy to use frontend to the duplicity backup system

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/duply
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/duply/duply_1.5.2.2-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
And I would be most grateful if a kind sponsor would set the
DM-Upload-Allowed (DMUA) bit.

Kind regards
 Joachim Wiedorn

Just install it yourself in virtualbox (slow, always works) or kvm (requires
hardware support).

I just lost several hours today trying, so here's a list of pitfalls:

* You need to change the virtual network card.  VirtualBox's default,
"PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)", is recognized by kfreebsd but doesn't see the
network.  "PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A)" works fine.

* You need a particular d-i build:
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-i386/20100221-11:20/monolithic/
(I assume -amd64 works too).

Current d-i dailies are broken (the partitioner fails, even with a
pre-partitioned disk, not letting you assign mount points).  Don't use the
sysinstall images either (they install but filesystem operations randomly
fail).  Rumours that d-i builds 20100306 or 20100223 are ok are untrue as
well (won't even boot past the splash screen).

That is very kind of them, as Policy § 4.9 specifies anyway that “Both the
binary-arch and binary-indep targets must exist”.

No, I was just trying to clarify it, since I wasn't aware of that suggestion.

PS: When you test the binary, if your X11 background has no pixbuf
data, "Toggle background" via right-click menu may cause evilvte
crash.
It is vte's bug in version 0.24.0. Please see #576624.
