main-guide: dquilt: completion
Hello List: In the section 3 of the main-guide, `set up quilt', the tool dquilt is set up as an alias in ~/.bashrc (to be frank, I avoid `alias' in general): is there a simple way to make dquilt inherits the quilt completion stuff ?

upstream changelog in XML format
Hello List: I am working on the bibtool package. The changelog of the upstream package is in XML format and is named `Changes.xml'. Right now, I manage it by adding an override in the debian/rules file: override_dh_installchangelogs: dh_installchangelogs --keep Changes.xml Nevertheless, nothing is really done, in particular `Changes.xml' is not converted in text. I put the `--keep' option because I suspect that this kind of changelog file is a well know format in some `field' (even if I can not figure out which `field'). Is there a better way to deal with this `Changes.xml' ? I guess that I can add some stuff in the makefile to convert it in text format: do specific tools exist to convert this kind of changelog in text format ?

According to policy (section 12.7 of version 3.9.2.0): , | If an upstream changelog is available, it should be accessible as | `/usr/share/doc//changelog.gz' in plain text. If the | upstream changelog is distributed in HTML, it should be made available | in that form as `/usr/share/doc//changelog.html.gz' and a | plain text `changelog.gz' should be generated from it using, for | example, `lynx -dump -nolist'. If the upstream changelog files do not | already conform to this naming convention, then this may be achieved | either by renaming the files, or by adding a symbolic link, at the | maintainer's discretion.[1] ` This would seem to imply that you shouldn't be installing a file named "changelog.gz" containing anything other than (gzipped) plain text. I think that, if you install it, you should probably install it as "Changes.xml.gz". The --keep option link `Changes.xml.gz' to `changelog.gz': I am agree that it is not perfect, but at least lintian does not complain. Is there a better way to deal with this `Changes.xml' ? I guess that I can add some stuff in the makefile to convert it in text format: do specific tools exist to convert this kind of changelog in text format ? If I were you, I'd ask upstream about that I have just sent a couple of questions about it to the upstream maintainer. , or (since a quick google shows that this is a TeX-related program) ask about it on <http://tex.stackexchange.com> (a Q&A site about TeX with loads of extremely helpful people on it). The Q&A are about [La]TeX. BibTool is mainly a tool to manipulate BibTeX databases, and as such it is not directly related to [La]TeX. Then, I'd pass the (html or plaintext) output of any such tool to dh_installchangelogs, rather than passing Changes.xml. I will do that if there is an unambigous way to convert it: what is really needed is it schema, which should be in its header.

His answer is that his XML phase is over: in the next coming upstream version the Changes file will be in LaTeX format with provide tools to convert it in HTML format. I had a look on it in the CVS repository: I will be able to manage it.

If I were you, I'd ask upstream about that I have just sent a couple of questions about it to the upstream maintainer. If the upstream maintainer is slow to reply, you could always write some simple xsl to convert this to a text changelog format. I've just scanned through the file and it looks simple enough... Not sure if this is "too hands on" for what a packager should be doing though. Also, presumably upstream has some xsl tools for parsing this, otherwise they wouldn't be forcing themselves to write so many angle brackets! :-) Indeed, this xml file is quite human readable. On the other hand, the upstream maintainer replied within a day, and he claimed that the new upstream version will be released soon with Changes written in LaTeX: so I hurry up to package my stuff in view to send him patches.

Re: creating an orig.tar.gz from a CVS
Hello List: Thanks Xavier for the trick. After getting information from the upstream maintainer, it appears that the CVS have a dedicated Makefile to build the upstream package. Of course, this Makefile is not distributed within the upstream package, as other part of the CVS tree: the package is full of makefile mostly written by hand (meaning not generated with automake) that are meant to run on different OS. In short, it is a little messy and the debian/rules trick can not be applied here because the CVS tree source includes the package, but is not the package. Never mind, this certainly part of the job of the Debian maintainer to rationalise as far as possible the upstream package in view to apply the dh machinery.

You should at the very least include the LaTeX source in the source package (hopefully upstream already does this). Of course. During the build process, build a text-only version (using catdvi FE) I tried catdvi to compare against the combination (html2text * tth): the text output produced by catdvi is really worth, so I will use the combination (html2text * tth). , and optionally include the PDF if that is helpful in addition.

I took a look at your package, here are a few comments:

- lintian gives a few warnings:

I tried to fix the warnings emitted by lintian, but the lintian on my boxdoes
not report the one above:
how can I reproduce this report.
You may want to get in touch with upstream about that.
I got in touch with the upstream maintainer a few week ago to report thisissue
and to submit patches:
the upstream maintainer kindly cleaned up the source of the coming version and
he integrated all the patches
except a cosmetic one. Since then, I have kept in touch with him to fix issues
in the coming version.
Also, ideally
regex shouldn't be embedded in the source.
I asked to the upstream maintainer to get ride of it: as he want to keep it:
may I follow his wish for the coming package of the coming version ? or not ?
- I'm not sure why you're closing bugs #291134 and #187255 in the
changelog; they're not fixed by this upload in particular, they're
just not considered bugs. I think you should close these bugs
manually and remove those two entries from the changelog.
I am agree: I just closed them the wrong way. I am working on it:
the two entries were removed; I am now the owner of the bugs;
I am on my way to close bugs #291134 and #187255.
The second entry ("Features have been either"...) doesn't seem very
useful; either give a brief summary of the changed features, or
remove the entry entirely. The first entry ("New upstream version")
essentially suggests that there are new or extended features, and
users should know to check the upstream changelog already.
(Actually, looking into it, there isn't even an entry for 2.53 in
Changes.xml.)
The entry was removed entirely.
In the coming version, the changes are a reported in the LaTeX file
`Changes.tex'
which is up-to-date. In the coming package of the coming version, `Changes.xml'
is replaced by `Changes.tex'. The `Changes.tex' LaTeX source is converted into
HTLM
format, then into a TXT format readable by human; it is also composed in PDF
format
as the upstream author play withfonts to comment changes.
- In debian/copyright, you list yourself as the sole copyright holder
for the files under debian/*, but you didn't do the packaging from
scratch. What about the copyright of the previous maintainers?
But I put a comment that mention them in the Comment entry: apparently isnot
enough.
I have just added Copyright entries for the two previous maintainers.
- In the bibtool(1) man page, the FILES section states "none" and the
DIAGNOSTICS section "many"; I think both sections should simply be
removed.
In the SEE ALSO section, the BibTool Manual is referred to as
bibtool.tex, but this file isn't installed on Debian; instead, it
should refer to bibtool.pdf.gz installed in /usr/share/doc/bibtool.
Also, in the .TH header in bibtool.1, something more useful than
"local" (like a date for instance) should be used.
I am working on it.
- Have you forwarded your patches for inclusion upstream?
I forwarded my patches and the previous patches to the upstream maintainer:
he kindly integrated all of them except a cosmetic one --- see the second
answer above.
I hope this helps.

versioning trouble
Hello List: Three days ago I uploaded for sponsoring my package with version 2.54+cvs20120219 which obviously cvs version. Meanwhile, more precisely yesterday, the upstream maintainer finally released version 2.54, so now I plan to upload an upstream version of my package with version 2.54. But, according to `dch', version 2.54 is less than 2.54+cvs20120219: how can I can manage it ? May I force version 2.54 ? may I use some work around here ?

You should have used "~" instead of "+", because: 2.54~cvs20120219 << 2.54 << 2.54+cvs20120219 my mistake: I should understand this part of the story before how can I can manage it ? May I force version 2.54 ? may I use some work around here ? It would have been slightly easier for us if you said whether or not the package with such bad version has been uploaded to the archive, or at least mentioned the package name. I will assume that we're talking about bibtool, which has been already uploaded to unstable. hence my request. You cannot use a lower version than the existing one. dak would reject such upload. The options you have are: 1) Use an epoch. However, once use epoch, you have to carry it forever. 2) Invent a version that is bigger than 2.54+cvs20120219, e.g: - "2.54+cvssucks" or - "2.54+really" or - "2.54.". 2.54+ds 3) Instead of uploading 2.54, upload a CVS snapshot with a version number like "2.54+cvs20120212". 4) Wait until upstream releases 2.55. bibtool is maintained, but the upstream version period is of order of half year: this option is not reasonnable. 5) Build a Debian Sourced package: 2.54+ds So I got my lesson.

CRAIL (n. mineral)
Crail is a common kind of rock or gravel found widely across the
British Isles. Each individual stone (due to an as yet undiscovered
gravitational property) is charged with 'negative buoyancy'. This
means that no matter how much crail you remove from the garden, more
of it will rise to the surface. Crail is much employed by the Royal
Navy for making the paperweights and ashtrays used inside submarines.

I guess that I may have to extract the changelog file from the website: may I forget it ? is there any tool to do so ? Any hint is welcome. A debian source package should be self-contained, which means that it should not rely on any resource outside of the source itself and its build-dependencies. If you'd download something off the internet, it would mean that rebuilding your package with the same system would not necessarily produce the same outcoming binary packages. Plus, there are buildds without Internet access. I'd contact upstream to see whether they would include the changelog in the tarball from the next release on, but in the mean time just don't worry about it, I don't think any potential sponsor will hold that against you. I have already contacted the upstream maintainer. I will ask him to include a changelog.

As much as I can see, the package is still in Debian (though removed from Wheezy). You shouldn't open an ITP for a package that is already in the archive. If your intention is to adopt the package, then you should follow the MIA process, have the package orphaned, then rename the orphaned bug as ITA (Intention To Adopt) adopt it by uploading new versions. And for that, there's no need for an ITP. The situation is ambiguous as I posted before in the debian-de...@lists.debian.org list: the package is not orphaned, was removed but it is still present. There is a void here, and it is why I asked on the list: it was suggested to make an ITP since it was removed. It appears that the Maintainer has retired from Debian.

The user types an SSH passphrase when logging in and is authenticated if the passphrase successfully decrypts the user's SSH private key. In the PAM session phase, an ssh-agent process is started and keys are added. For the entire session, the user can SSH to other hosts that accept key authentication without typing any passwords. Is this about using removable media to store the SSH private key to login to machines which only have the public key? NO ! That would be useful (but isn't that covered by existing PAM support?) Is this some form of hot-desking support? If not, why is this better than a user having a different password for login and for the SSH key? Why tie login to one of my SSH private keys? Let say that I used it to launch ssh-agent when I login (from console or desktop). The homepage doesn't make this clear, it sounds like the module just maps the user login via a graphical desktop manager to a particular SSH key the private key for which has to live on the system behind the login anyway. What's the point? I am agree that the descriptions on the homepage and within the Debian package are confusing: I will try to improve this part as well.

There is no ambiguity. The package is present in unstable and thus is not "removed" in the sense that word is commonly used without qualifiers. (The proper way to describe what happened to the package is "removed from testing" - a release engineering action that doesn't imply any change in a package's maintainership.) There is a void here, and it is why I asked on the list: it was suggested to make an ITP since it was removed. An ITP is inappropriate so long as the package is present in unstable or experimental. According to its PTS ( http://packages.qa.debian.org/libp/libpam-ssh.html ): [2011-12-03] libpam-ssh REMOVED from testing (Britney) [2011-12-02] Removed 1.92-14 from unstable (Alexander Reichle-Schmehl) So I guess it must be considered as removed. It appears that the Maintainer has retired from Debian. In that case, the package likely is available for salvaging (that is, for taking over maintainership without going throug a period of formal ITA or O period).

- use dh sequencer with autoreconf support
- hardened
- mult-arch support.
* Convert debian/copyright to DEP-5 format.
* Revisit debian/control.
* Add repack support:
- add a dedicated debian/repack script
- add repack support in debian/watch
- add the optional get-orig-source target in
debian/rules
to get the currently packaged upstream tarball and to
repack it.
* Add a default target in debian/rules which basically queries
package status
with uscan; output in DEHS format.
* Update OpenSSH embedded code.
* Add ECDSA keys support.
* Now files in $HOME/.ssh/login-keys.d with .disabled or
.frozen as suffix
are ignored.
* Now TMPDIR and TMP are honoured when ssh-agent is spawned
(implemented
with libpam-tmpdir package in mind).
* Revisit README.Debian and pam_ssh manpage to reflect changes.
* Minor fixes and enhancements, thanks to Peter Marschall.
Best wishes,
Jerome BENOIT

Otherwise I would give a try with the following entry in debian/mpich-doc.doc-base Files: /usr/share/doc/mpich-doc/install.pdf Note that one can force dh_compress not to compress through the exclude option: override_dh_compress: dh_compress --exclude=install.pdf You may try this approach in last resort.

how to build packages with a specific complier ?
Dear Forum: It appears that some tests fail for one of my package (gmp-ecm) on one architecture (s390x): after some investigation, it appears that it is a compiler issue: building with gcc-6 (instead of gcc-5) causes no issue. So now I want to impose the gcc-6 to d/rules ? What is the best way to do so ? Thanks in advance, Jerome

You can ask for an access to Debian Porter machine: https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi https://dsa.debian.org/doc/schroot/ But I am afraid that the hard part is to isolate the compiler issue: for me, it was solve somewhere between gcc-5 and gcc-6. hth, Jerome
