Uploading new version of package to mentors.debian.net
Hi, I have uploaded successfully a package to mentors.debian.net. Afterwards I found a sponsor, but he has some suggestions to my package. I implemented all of them and then I tried to upload new version of my package to mentors.debian.net. And here my troubles began. I haven't found documentation about procedure how to upload new version of package to mentors.debian.net. So I tried to upload it the same way as I uploaded original version. Nothing happened. Then I tried to remove old version from mentors.debian.net and upload new version by dput. Here dput failed with error message saying that given package was already uploaded, but there was no package uploaded on mentors.debian.net in section my packages. As I found later, the package is stucked in upload queue, since my package is found in: ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/ for serveral hours. Is there a policy of the upload queue that I have violated? How can be new version of the package uploaded to mentors.debian.net? With Regards, Matus Valo

Nothing happened. dput creates a $PKG.$ARCHIVE.upload file to prevent multiple, different, uploads to the debian archives for the same package. since mentors.debian.net does not require uploads to be unique, you can just delete that file and resend the package using the same command; you can delete the old versions on mentors manually, or you can leave them online to be autoremoved later. > As I found later, the package is stucked in upload queue, since > my package is found in: > > ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/ I believe that this is the upload queue for the main archive, for which you don't have upload rights (the files will be deleted when they will fail the signature check). Maybe during your tests you used the wrong dput configuration? IIRC if you don't specify a destination it will put files there by default. -- Elena ``of Valhalla'' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Wish to package astronomy software
Hi Bamm, Happy New Year and welcome to the Debian project! It's great to hear that you are interested in packaging astronomy software. I'm an astrophysicist working at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and I'm also packaging astronomical software. Since I try to manage several projects at the same time, my packaging work is going quite slowly. I'm maintaining a local APT repository which includes, for instance, a package of the "Aladin Sky Atlas" http://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/ . I'm not yet an experienced packager but if you have specific issues or questions, feel free to contact me. My current project is to package the Java libraries of the "starlink" people https://github.com/Starlink/starjava/ and thereafter the applications TOPCAT and SPLAT that also belong to the "starlink" project. If you are interested in taking over some tasks of this packaging work, it would be a great pleasure for me.

I have uploaded the package to mentors.debian.net. * Package name: stockfish Version : 4+dd-1 Upstream Author : Marco Costalba * URL : http://stockfishchess.org/ * License : GPLv3 Section : games It builds those binary packages: stockfish - strong chess engine, to play chess against To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/stockfish Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/stockfish/stockfish_4+dd-1.dsc More information about hello can be obtained from http://www.example.com.

Hi Elena, thank you for your answer. Yes you are right, I had typo and hence it uploads to main archive.

Inside the Debian Science team Ole Streicher is extremely active in the field of astronomy. If you work together with him you are in pretty good hands. The only thing I wonder about is, why he did not directed you to the Debian Science list and whether he might have told you that it is a very good idea to use the Debian Science VCS (either Git or SVN). > If you don't mind, can I email you directly so I can also show you > what I have so far? I would not like personal mails but anything concerning astronomy is perfectly fine at the Debian Science mailing list. I guess it might be a good idea if you read http://debian-science.alioth.debian.org/debian-science-policy.html If you need a sponsor for your work this might be interesting for you as well https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB Hope this helps Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It would be a great pleasure for the Debian Science team if you would join as well to assemble all people working on astronomy packages on one single place. :-) Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi Andreas, I haven't forgotten about my promise to update the blends task page for games and it will be finished soonish (meaning this month). Currently I'm combining this task with another related goal of the Games Team for which I have to investigate each and every games package in Debian. https://wiki.debian.org/Games/JessieReleaseGoal Rodrigo is surely welcome as a member of the team. It's usually a good idea to say hello at debian-devel-games or in our IRC channel at #debian-games and someone (maybe myself) could help with reviewing the package. However we are extremely low on sponsors here and as you surely know, it is very hard to attract new members, if nobody is willing to sponsor their work or if they have to do something unrelated first. Your message is understood. Nevertheless every sponsored package is welcomed here. Regards, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
