shlibs
Hello,
I've been having a little problem in debian/control, on a package.
What happen if I have ${shlibs:Depends}, which will be replaced by the
packages needed by the configure script, but I need one of those
packages to be tested against other? Let me explain.
debian/control hardcore: xmms | beep-media-player
debian/control shlibs: xmms
The shlibs:Depends returns, among others, xmms. But I need to be
compared with another package, as in the first example. In the case,
beep media player.
Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks,

I meant hardcore for using direct package names, instead what

Alternative: package | package, exactly what you explained better:

That's what I meant, thank you, I'll take a look at shlibs.local files.
Thanks to dato, too, for the patience.

Hello, I'm currently looking for a check/review/sponsor for gnofract4d. Description: easy creator of beautiful fractals Gnofract 4D is an elegant creator of mathematical images called fractals. What sets it apart from other fractal programs (and makes it "4D") is the way that it treats the Mandelbrot and Julia sets as different views of the same four-dimensional fractal object. This allows you to create images which are a cross between the two sets and explore their inter-relationships. It is written in PyGTK.

PHP/MySQL package
Hi all, I have plans for packaging a little www-based package. It uses PHP and MySQL, over Apache. In the documentation I been searching, I just can find some resources with packaging which need to be compilated or so. In the package I would need to set up a new MySQL database (I vaguely know I could use wwwconfig, but not sure about its use), and set the scripts to some location on DocumentRoot. I am just writting to ask for some documentation resources on www-based packages, if exists. Otherwise, any help or hint would be great.

Tha package itself (at least the contents) seems to be well placed.
However, it has lots of glitches.
First of all, lintian and linda both complain with some errors:
W: libezgtk-ruby source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.6.0
Is it compliant to 3.6.0? Are you sure it is not compliant with 3.6.1.1?
W: libezgtk-ruby: extra-license-file
usr/share/doc/libezgtk-ruby/LICENSE.txt
Why add another license file? That must be well specified on
debian/copyright.
E: libezgtk-ruby: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl
You should point your license to existing GPL, in case it is GPL.
W: libezgtk-ruby:
copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
You should specify an Author or Author_(s)_, in other case, you have to
remove `(s)'.
E: libezgtk-ruby: bad-version-in-relation depends: libgtk2-ruby (=
{Source-Version})
Are you pretty sure about your dependencies versions?
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libruby (= ${Source-Version}), libgtk2-ruby
(={Source-Version})
And... what about Build-Depends? You will need, at least ruby to run the
extconf.rb. That's way pbuilder dies there.
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0)
Besides, did you code fixshebang? What for? To put examples in place? Is
dh_installexamples not enough? Is postinst script not enough either?
Are you sure README.Debian should be needed? It says nothing to me.
Obviously all that is to make it complaint with Debian Policy.
Now, Ruby policy: You should at least have read the Debian Ruby Policy
made by the guys from pkg-ruby:
http://pkg-ruby.alioth.debian.org/ruby-policy.html/index.html
Just quickly, you should provide a virtual package for your ruby package
to point to the current ruby version (in these cases, 1.8). And create,
if it could be done, packages for 1.6 and so.
It is widely needed help for Ruby packages, I think you are doing an
excellent work, keep on doing it.
Regards,

Tha package itself (at least the contents) seems to be well placed.
However, it has lots of glitches.
First of all, lintian and linda both complain with some errors:
W: libezgtk-ruby source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.6.0
Is it compliant to 3.6.0? Are you sure it is not compliant with 3.6.1.1?
W: libezgtk-ruby: extra-license-file
usr/share/doc/libezgtk-ruby/LICENSE.txt
Why add another license file? That must be well specified on
debian/copyright.
E: libezgtk-ruby: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl
You should point your license to existing GPL, in case it is GPL.
W: libezgtk-ruby:
copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
You should specify an Author or Author_(s)_, in other case, you have to
remove `(s)'.
E: libezgtk-ruby: bad-version-in-relation depends: libgtk2-ruby (=
{Source-Version})
Are you pretty sure about your dependencies versions?
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, libruby (= ${Source-Version}), libgtk2-ruby
(={Source-Version})
And... what about Build-Depends? You will need, at least ruby to run the
extconf.rb. That's way pbuilder dies there.
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0)
Besides, did you code fixshebang? What for? To put examples in place? Is
dh_installexamples not enough? Is postinst script not enough either?
Are you sure README.Debian should be needed? It says nothing to me.
Obviously all that is to make it complaint with Debian Policy.
Now, Ruby policy: You should at least have read the Debian Ruby Policy
made by the guys from pkg-ruby:
http://pkg-ruby.alioth.debian.org/ruby-policy.html/index.html
Just quickly, you should provide a virtual package for your ruby package
to point to the current ruby version (in these cases, 1.8). And create,
if it could be done, packages for 1.6 and so.
It is widely needed help for Ruby packages, I think you are doing an
excellent work, keep on doing it.

shlibs
Hello,
I've been having a little problem in debian/control, on a package.
What happen if I have ${shlibs:Depends}, which will be replaced by the
packages needed by the configure script, but I need one of those
packages to be tested against other? Let me explain.
debian/control hardcore: xmms | beep-media-player
debian/control shlibs: xmms
The shlibs:Depends returns, among others, xmms. But I need to be
compared with another package, as in the first example. In the case,
beep media player.
Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks,

I meant hardcore for using direct package names, instead what

Alternative: package | package, exactly what you explained better:

That's what I meant, thank you, I'll take a look at shlibs.local files.

Right, I didn't figured out because of the version in the package: When dealing with native packages, there is no need for adding a Debian revision, so your versions should look like 0.1, instead of a «common» 0.1-1 or so. Building the package on a pbuilder environment brings this error: checking for X... no checking for gconftool-2... no configure: error: gconftool-2 executable not found in your path - should be installed with GConf make: *** [config.status] Error 1 pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package You should just need to build-depend on gconf2. And just a personal note. If there is not previous release of edsadmin in the Debian archive why list them on changelog.Debian.gz? This obviously will vary from any maintainer's point of view. But in this case, I just see debian/changelog needed for tracking package's changes which will be in the archive, and besides, this would reaffirm this since, being this a native package, you maintain ChangeLog (probably asked for avoiding any autoconf complains) and debian/changelog.

Skippy is a nice piece of software. Gustavo Noronha and I were talking (in CONSOL[1]) about how would be the best way to package skippy. Honestly, I haven't had the chance to check any ITP/related-work on this, so I think this is the right to start. Also, I just saw[2] this package was uploaded with Niv Altivanik as a maintainer. How are you handling running the software? Are you expecting the user to run it manually? That was one of the concerns kov and I found when discussing the package. Are you using something related? Probably running an .xsession file? Obviously you couldn't do it from a .gnome file, since one of the dependencies of the upstream software is X11R6. What about KDE, XFce? We just tested it on GNOME and XFce running the skippy command manually. Besides, how are you handling the .skippyrc file?

I think, in that case, it would be life harder for everybody
involved ;-)
What if we just let the package to run something like:
echo 'skippy' >> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
...in the postinst script?
Not yet tested, but should be enough.
And I would like to see probably,
the /usr/share/doc/skippy/skippyrc-default file, linked (or just placed
on) in /etc/skippy/skippyrc, so skippy could do something similar to the
attached diff. After that, it is the user's choice to copy the template
to $HOME/.skippyrc and be happy.
Again, not yet tested.

That's all. I hope this could reach what you were expecting. -- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | http://www.damog.net/ People bitched at me to learn a foreign language so I learned Perl.

PHP/MySQL package
Hi all, I have plans for packaging a little www-based package. It uses PHP and MySQL, over Apache. In the documentation I been searching, I just can find some resources with packaging which need to be compilated or so. In the package I would need to set up a new MySQL database (I vaguely know I could use wwwconfig, but not sure about its use), and set the scripts to some location on DocumentRoot. I am just writting to ask for some documentation resources on www-based packages, if exists. Otherwise, any help or hint would be great. Thanks in advance. -- David Moreno Garza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.damog.net/ PGP 1024D/356E16CD - 84F0 E180 8AF6 E8D0 842F B520 63F3 08DB 356E 16CD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
