I believe tim mean that it was important for music-producing users,

Uploaded, please contact this list for future sponsoring.

Question:

Where does debian/babel.sty come from? Shouldn't it be generated at
build time or something?

Please fix the following minor issues in the next version:

No need for the final .0 in the standards-version.

Slightly improved package description:

Description: Thai support for Latex
 This package provides a Thai language add-on for Latex. It is based on
 the babel package which comes with the tetex distribution.

 This package needs a Thai words separator such as cttex and swath in

IIRC, iterations of the 4th digit are meant to be compatible so they

Since this is a new library package, it would be good if you used the
new symbols stuff:

http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/ImprovedDpkgShlibdeps
http://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2008/01/msg00188.html

BTW, debian/substvars should be removed on in the debian/rules clean target.

debian/preinst, debian/prerm, debian/postinst look like they don't do
anything that isn't done by debhelper and should be removed.

debian/libhugetlbfs.7 needs a couple of tweeks.

strace.out should definately not be in the package.

version.h looks like either belongs upstream or should be removed on clean.

IIRC Debian's amd64 port uses /usr/lib rather than /usr/lib64, so I'm
not sure why libhugetlbfs_write_dirs_installs is there.

Better to run a test suite or otherwise cause an FTBFS on
architectures where it is known to build broken or unusable binaries.
Not being fully portable isn't an RC bug and will not block testing
migration unless it is a regression and there is no good reason to
block it from lenny if it only works on 32-bit arches.

Your orig.tar.gz is different from the 1.23-1 one on snapshot.debian.net, why?
Looking at the code, it seems you checked it out of CVS again, best
just to use the old tarball.

debian/substvars should be removed as it is generated dynamically.

debian/cttex.1 should be sent upstream, add it to CVS unless you don't
have access (Theppitak can probably help with that). I guess it would
probably be nice to have a Thai translation for it and now that man-db
supports UTF-8 I guess that is possible.

You might want to translate the package description to Thai and add it
to ddtp.debian.net.

You specifiy debhelper compat level 5 but do not build-depend on the
right version.

debian/copyright needs the copyright section renamed to Licence and a
new copyright section written. You may also want to read this
proposal: http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat

Please commented out dh_* commands and non-useful comments from debian/rules.

Please use $(MAKE) instead of make in debian/rules

Do you know why install is used instead of $(MAKE) install?

Any reason why you don't install the upstream ChangeLog file?

The upstream VERSION file says 1.22, any idea why your version is 1.23?

Does upstream have a homepage for the software? If so it would be good
to add it:

http://wiki.debian.org/HomepageFieldHOWTO

Please fix these lintian info messages (run lintain -I -i for more info):

I: cttex: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/cttex.1.gz:30

debian/changelog needs some work:

NMU means non-maintainer upload, not new maintainer. Please write "  *
New maintainer" as the first entry in instead.

Not sure what "rebuilt" means, you probably meant rebuild the tarball,
which isn't nessecary.

You didn't document the other changes you made (debian/compat, bump
standards-version, add manpage .

Please document changes you make in debian/changelog. You might want
to read the developers-reference for more info on changelog standards.

In the long term, do you think the cttex functionality belongs in
texlive? That might be a good thing to persue if so.

A review:

Maybe libthai0/libthai-data shouldn't have any docs (README/TODO/etc)
in them since those are mostly automatically installed, instead it
should go in the -dev package and the -doc package.

Good to see you are using a symbols file, mole says you need different
symbols files for different arches:

http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/mole/seedsymbols?pkgname=libthai0

I also note that the seedsymbols script indicates that some functions
have been removed, but the ABI has not been increased.

The -doc package installs stuff to /usr/share/doc/libthai0-doc,
shouldn't it be /usr/share/doc/libthai-doc?

Your shlibs says >= 0.1.7 but the max version in your symbols file is 0.1.6.

I'm not sure what the machine-readable copyright proposal says, but I
expected to see copies of the "this is GPL" blurbs from the source
code in debian/copyright

I don't see filenames in the Licence line in the copyright proposal.

I think there are supposed to be commas between the authors and each
author should have their own copyright years?

Why do you copy config.sub/guess in clean rather than in configure?

CFLAGS doesn't seem to be passed to configure?

Please rewrite the descriptions considering the audience for each of
them. libthai0/libthai-data will always be automatically installed,
libthai-dev will sometimes be automatically installed (build-dep) and
libthai-doc should be only installed by humans. libthai0/-data could
have a one-line description, the amount of info in the -dev and -doc
descriptions should reflect who will be looking for them.

Tip: $(MAKE) -C foo works too

Is fonts/waree simply a copy of Bitstream Vera (which will be removed

Copyright info for debian/babel.sty is a bit unclear.

Including debian/babel.sty alone seems to violate its licence:

I'm not so sure if this is OK, what do the texlive Debian people say?

The change in the postinst looks fairly simple, perhaps it could be
integrated into texlive?

I was intrigued by this claim, so here is a review of just the diff.gz:

Package descriptions do not need to reference which platforms it is
ported to, especially since Debian doesn't yet have GNU/ReactOS or
GNU/Darwin ports yet.

Package descriptions need some work, please read the developers reference:

http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-debian-control

debian/rules handles nostrip instead of letting dh_strip do it

CFLAGS doesn't look like it is being passed to the upstream build system

Shouldn't you be using dh_testroot instead of that weird checkroot
thing? If not, the clean target should depend on checkroot.

Several files have no newlines at the end.

Doesn't close any ITP bug in the changelog.

The contents of debian/falconpl-dev.manpages shouldn't be nessecary,
just put them in debian/falconpl-dev.install. dh_installman is only
for manual pages not installed by the upstream build system.

Useless comments & extra space in debian/watch

Which licence is the "Falcon Programming Language License" derived
from? It looks kind of familiar. License proliferation is bad, it
would be nice if you chose another one. If you don't want to do that
please get the debian-legal list to review it.

debian/copyright references /usr/share/common-licenses twice, one
correctly, one incorrectly.

Sounds like the FPL just clarifies things/gives extra permissions.

If you have access to a computer that is up 24x7, then simply copy it

Removing the configure/configure-stamp targets is another option.

Other issues:

sed -i -e 's/man page/the manual page/' debian/README.Debian

The changes to the lynis script should be moved into a quilt (or
dpatch) patch or you could make the changes using sed in the build
target like so:

build:
...
mkdir build
cp lynis build
sed -i -e 's_PROFILE="default.prf"_PROFILE="/etc/lynis/default.prf"_'
build/lynis
sed -i -e 's_INCLUDEDIR="include"_INCLUDEDIR="/usr/share/lynis/include"_'
build/lynis

clean:
...
rm -rf build

install:
...
install -D $(CURDIR)/build/lynis $(CURDIR)/debian/lynis/usr/sbin/

The postrm script is not necessary, dpkg handles removing conffiles on
purge and you are using a recent debhelper so files in /etc should be
automatically marked as conffiles.

default.prf contains a commented out debian-specific security check,
is there any reason you didn't enable it?

Please run lintian -I in future:

I: lynis: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man8/lynis.8.gz:14

I: lynis: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man8/lynis.8.gz:51

Some remarks to pass upstream:

Upstream should be changed so that the patch to the lynis script is
not necessary. Same with any potential patch to default.prf. The best
way to enable that would be to write a configure script.

Upstream should provide a Makefile or script to install lynis so there
is no Debian-specific installation. Otherwise other distributions will
have to duplicate part of debian/rules.

Upstream CHANGELOG file is more of a NEWS file than a ChangeLog.

I agree, perhaps this could be placed in the upstream README?

It would be good if there were a commented out DH_VERBOSE line in
there to enable easy debugging of debian/rules.

It would be good if you could write a Makefile with the following
targets and send it upstream:

all or build, clean, install, dist.

Be sure to support CFLAGS, PREFIX and DESTDIR in your Makefile since
debian/rules will need them. For extra points it should support
checking for solaris and compiling appropriately (see the comments in
nettee.c).

debian/docs: No need to distribute empty files nor a HTML copy of the
manual page.

If you want to distribute the pdist scripts, you should at least
customize them by using the right path to nettee. You can do this with
either sed or a patch system like quilt.

Upstream includes the binary in the tarball, please ask them to fix that.

Some comments:

Unless you need new features of debhelper compat 6, please leave it at
the latest compat level available in stable.

Description suggestion:

Description: X terminal program with Thai languague support
 xiterm+thai is an X terminal emulator program with Thai language
 support. It has built-in Thai keyboard input support. You could
 also use the X11 XKB extension to input Thai characters.
 .
 A Thai font is needed to display Thai characters.

Probably don't need README installed since it is about building, I'm
guessing README.thai too. Same for COPYRIGHT.HISTORY (copied in
debian/copyright), doc/README.rxvt.greek - Thai != greek :), and maybe
the README.xvt too.

Perhaps README.thai should be reencoded in UTF-8?

What is the reason for having two entries in the menu file? Also, it
would be good to add a desktop file to support GNOME since by default
it now doesn't show the Debian menu IIRC.

The README.Debian needs to be checked and maybe rewritten.

txiterm manual page:

This isn't really needed "This manual page documents briefly the
txiterm command".

OPTIONS section needs filling out.

Very nice changelog entry, good work on the package :)

Shame the package got removed, thanks for working on getting it back in.

What made you choose /usr/share/sounds/sf2 for installing the
soundfont? I notice that freepats uses /usr/share/midi for this.

debian/README.Debian-source says "fluid-soundfont for Ubuntu".

I'd suggest these descriptions:

Description: Fluid General MIDI SoundFont (GM)
 This is a GM SoundFont, for use with MIDI synthesisers; hardware
 like the emu10k1 sound card, or software like FluidSynth.

Description: Fluid General MIDI SoundFont (GS)
 This is a GS SoundFont, for use with MIDI synthesisers; hardware
 like the emu10k1 sound card, or software like FluidSynth.

Otherwise the packaging looks fine.

iconv isn't in libc6 on all architectures:

http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Ficonv&mode=path&suite=unstable&arch=any

I think you can just drop the build-dep on libc6 because the right C

I'd suggest these minor fixes for the DESCRIPTION:

   txiterm is a wrapper around the xiterm+thai(1) program that
invokes the latter program with
   Thai support and also loads the Thai font.

   All arguments to txiterm are passed to xiterm+thai without processing;
   the -fn option should not be specified because it is used by the wrapper.

   See the xiterm+thai manual page for more information on
xiterm+thai-options.

   Note: txiterm needs nectec18 - an X Thai font from the
xfonts-thai-nectec package
   to allow the program to render the proper Thai text in the terminal.

OK, now there is a real problem, most of the licences mentioned are
non-free and cannot be put into main. Essentially all the files that
are not copyright Vuthichai Ampornaramveth or Theppitak
Karoonboonyanan are non-free and need to be removed or relicenced.
Alternatively the package can be put in non-free instead of main.
Please read the DFSG to see why the code is non-free:

Missed that bit, was just looking at debian/copyright. In that case
the old licences in debian/copyright need to be removed and an
explanation of the history added so that the ftpmasters are convinced
it is free.

bits from the DMs/NMs/AMs?

2008-03-03 Thread Paul Wise
Hi all,

[Please CC me in all replies, or reply only to me]

We've had bits from the DPL[1][2], bits from the release team[3], bits
from the listmasters[4] and bits from other people and groups within
Debian[5][6][7][8][9].

Since new contributors are important for Debian (or any free software
project), I'd like to see a "Bits from the DMs/NMs/AMs" on d-d-a. I also
had the thought of separate emails for debian-private and DAM/FD/AMs.
So, I'm gathering your thoughts for these mails.

If you are in NM, a DM, an AM, just having packages sponsored by DDs or
maybe recently became a DD, I'd love to hear from you.

When replying, tell me anything you want to, but if you can't think of
anything, here are some ideas to get you started:

What cool packages are you working on or sponsoring? Did you buy your AM
a beer at DebConf, or have one bought for you? Are you working on
improving a general area of Debian (games, science, servers, hardware)?
Are you helping interesting people to get through the NM process? Are
you excited about finishing NM? How has the process been so far? What
made you commit to becoming a member of the Debian community or helping
others do so? What do you think about DM, what does the DM change
indicate about Debian to you? What are your plans for Debian stuff in
the future? Do you feel you've learnt from the NM process? What is your
assessment of DM so far, what cool stuff have you done with it? Did your
Debian wishlist for 2007 come true? What is your Debian wishlist for
2008? What does Debian mean to you? In what ways do you or do you intend
to contribute to Debian and free software in general? How can we help
you to contribute to Debian or free software in general?

In your replies, please indicate which parts are for d-d-a, d-p, just
for DAM/FD/AMs. Please also indicate if you would like to remain
anonymous, want your comments attributed to you or don't care either
way. I'll read all public and private replies and make summaries for
d-d-a, d-p and DAM/FD/AMs. Depending on the number of replies and my RL
situation, it might take a while to write up, so please be patient.

I'm unfortunately monolingual, so if you would like to translate this
post and translate replies from NMs/etc to English and send them to me,
please feel free to post it to the non-English mentors/devel lists.

Neither orange in the archive nor the result of your NMU even work for
zip files (with unzip installed) nor other files where it should work.

Fixing an extra RC bug (package doesn't work) is realistic for an NMU,
even if it isn't filed in the BTS.

I think something like this would be more appropriate:

It was downloaded from ftp://linux.thai.net/pub/thailinux/software/xiterm+thai/

xvt original copyright was "Do what you want, but can't make money on it."
Rxvt had the same copyright since it was based on xvt.

xiterm was relicensed to GPL-2 by Guylhem Aznar with authorization from
the xvt's original author and xiterm+thai is based on that.

As pointed out by tomv_w, I didn't read the package description
closely enough; it only extracts a certain kind of cabinet file from
various other archives.

I only got 8 replies to this, and none from AMs. I would really like
quite a few more responses if I'm actually going to do the summary. So,
if you are an AM, or a sponsor, it would be great if you could send a
response and get your NM(s) and sponsee(s) to also send a response.

Since you are packaging a shared library, please also support symbols files:

http://wiki.debian.org/UsingSymbolsFiles
http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/ImprovedDpkgShlibdeps
dpkg-gensymbols(1)

They will help ensure the minimally correct dependencies in programs
using the library and help detect ABI breakage when symbols
dissappear. See also the DPKG_GENSYMBOLS_CHECK_LEVEL environment

These days copyright is automatic, I imagine it was 20 years ago too.
It doesn't matter if you claim copyright or not. Copyright is opt-out
only (IIRC some countries do not have opt-out) and the fair use
provisions most probably do not allow what the DFSG requires. So, if
the original Minix version was not freely licenced, then basically
mined needs to be removed from Debian and upstream needs to rewrite
the code from the minix version that is still present in the current
version. I think that 20 years ago the GPL v2 wasn't yet out, so at a
minimum, the debian/copyright is missing information about the licence
of the parts of the source code that are from the original minix
version.

Also, there are some rules that make govt works public domain, perhaps
the original mined falls under that?

As for contacting the original author, perhaps the people at
minix3.org can help. Also, minix is BSD licenced these days, perhaps
it still includes mined?

Please bring some more details up on debian-legal where there are more
knowledgable people.

The ftpmasters (specifically Ganneff) suggested it be done with a
download script. Mainly this was because it is non-free anyway.

700 Mb .deb plus 700 Mb duplicated in the orig.tar.gz isn't acceptable
IMO. We need a way to have a .deb in the archive without an
orig.tar.gz before we can have such hge packages.

Firstly, your package is a native package (dsc + tar.gz), instead of a
normal package (dsc + diff.gz + orig.tar.gz). Please fix that.

It should be a normal package unless there is any specific reason for
it to be a native package, and there is no reason for it to be a
native package since it isn't Debian-specific.

Considering there have been only two posts this month, I'm sure your

I suggested it since more people there know ruby and would be able to
check the code.

Hmm, it might be nice to form a ruby-apps team like python in Debian has.

I've read the discussion on the ITP bug and I agree that a new package

Based on this I assume you are using the testing distribution:

http://packages.debian.org/bnfc

Based on this, it looks like bnfc was removed from testing because it
no longer builds, possibly due to a change in the haskell compiler:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bnfc/news/20080229T233910Z.html

It looks like there is a patch available, but the maintainer has not
uploaded a fixed version:

> We have downloaded bnfc_2.2.orig.tar, bnfc_2.2-3.diff and bnfc_2.2-3.dsc,

The package needs a new maintainer since the current one has not fixed
a release critical bug for a couple of months.

If you would like to ensure bnfc reaches lenny and thus the next
release, please contact the maintainer and get them to fix the bug. If
you cannot contact them, please follow these processes:

http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-beyond-pkging.en.html#s-mia-qa
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-adopting

While you are doing that, have a look at the debian-mentors FAQ and
the new maintainers guide:

http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/

If you don't want to do any of this, just download the package from
sid and install it:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/bnfc

If that doesn't work, try rebuilding it the package:

dpkg-source -x bnfc_2.2-3.dsc
cd bnfc-2.2

I think it is fairly clear: no licence is available for the firmware,
therefore it is being illegally distributed by netbsd CVS, kernel.org
and the alsa people.

Since the firmware is not distributable you should remove the pre-built image.

Then make the scripts check all known places for downloading the
firmware and extract from whichever is available in case they get
removed. Also try to find where cwcealdr1.zip originally came from so
that if the alsa folk remove it then there is still a source for it.

It is better that absolutely none of the embedded php libs are
included/used/shipped in the .deb. If they are not packaged
separately, the security team will not be happy at all.

I'd suggest reading the draft debian webapps policy and asking about
this on the debian webapps list. I imagine your app has a config.php
in which you can set the default php include path.

There is no proper way to ship embedded forks. Instead the fork should
be merged upstream or dropped.

Fix your app upstream so that it does not need the modifications, or
get the php lib upstream to include the modifications and get that
into Debian.

The most acceptable hacky way to do it would be to create a
libfoo-modified-php package that build-depends on the original version
(libfoo-php), copy and apply a patch at build time, then ship the
patched version in the libfoo-modified-php binary package. Then your
webapp can depend on libfoo-modified-php.

If there is *any* code duplicated in the source/binary package from
other software, the security team must be notified of the situation so
they can fix security issues properly.

That is a similar clause to the one in the Open Font Library. Fonts

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough; there are two issues in that bug report:

1) please package the latest upstream of lynis (1.0.9 at the time)
2) the warning due to a broken sources.list, which was marked as a
"side note" by the bug reporter

#1 is still valid and #2 was invalid at the time.

The appropriate action would have been to leave the bug open and add
something like this to the changelog:

  * New upstream release (Closes: #474020)

No need to do this now though for just a wishlist bug, something to
keep in mind for the future though.

Re: RFS: xiterm+thai (updated package)

2008-04-16 Thread Paul Wise
Now I get a FTBFS due to not depending on libxt-dev for
X11/Intrinsic.h, which is used by main.h and   xdefaults.h. Not sure
what changed since the other day, but please add libxt-dev to the
Build-Depends. Strangely the configure script did not fail, the
upstream Makefile did not fail and as a result the build only failed
because chown could not find the binary. Please get upstream to check
for X11/Intrinsic.h in the configure script and investigate why the
build doesn't fail when it isn't present. It looks like the return
value from make in the src subdir isn't getting passed out to the
top-level make process somehow.

Also, I think this line is wrong:

cd doc ; mv -f xiterm.1 xiterm+thai.1

It should be this instead since you don't rename it in clean:

cd doc ; cp -f xiterm.1 xiterm+thai.1

Also, when closing bugs that were fixed in an upload that was already
done, please use a Version pseudo-header. Sending a message to

When they have done the audit, please indicate that it has been
audited in the lintian override file and if possible add a link to the
audit.

Since xiterm+thai is in etch, if any issues are found you may need to
do a security update, more info about that is in the developers
reference:

Looks like this in the upstream makefile:

all allbin alldoc tags clean:
@for I in ${subdirs}; do (cd $$I; ${MAKE} $@ || exit 1); done

Should be replaced with this:

all allbin alldoc tags clean:
@for I in ${subdirs}; do (cd $$I; ${MAKE} $@) || exit 1; done

Same for the other targets in the Makefile.in that have a similar construct.

Switching to automake is another option since it gets this right and
also deals with make -k correctly.

Uploaded. Please do try out quilt, it is so much better than
dpatch/cdbs-simplepatchsys.

Are you in contact with the security team to fix the security issues
still present in etch?

Re: buildd is not building my package.

There is a simpler way this could be fixed:

Pick a clearly-DFSG licence (GPL/BSD/etc) and just upload to main.

There haven't been any mails on the list for the last two days:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2008/04/maillist.html

I think just mail Steve Kemp about it, since he is the main person
behind the audit stuff.

Uploaded.

For future reference, please mention changes like the security issue in the RFS.

Please remember to prepare a security update for etch and forward to
the stable security team, more details are in the
developers-reference.
