RFS: libowfat (NMU update)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.27-0.1 of package "libowfat". This is an NMU, as a bug requesting a new version (filled six months ago), neither my (20 days old) question about when this will get in Debian (as it's required to get it into Ubuntu without having a different checksum, since upstream releases .tar.bz2 files only) received any answer. It builds these binary packages: libowfat-dev - A reimplementation of libdjb The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 435478, 447312 Bug 435478 is the update request, and 447312 is a file overwrite error, which would be fixed with this upload by adding a conflict. It also includes other improvements (like adding a watch file, updating the standards version and fixing lintian/linda's complains); I'm not sure if all those are appropriate for a NMU, but I don't see how they could do any harm (but if they aren't appropriate just tell me and I'll revert them).

.menu and .desktop files
Hi, As an Ubuntu Developer I ask you to please do so, as if a package is missing a .desktop file it will have to be modified in Ubuntu to add it (and do this again each time we get a new revision of it from Debian, until the Maintainer adds it to Debian). Creating a .desktop file is pretty easy. You can find the latest specifications here [0] on FreeDesktop.org, and a list of categories on [1]. There is also some more information about them (including an example) on Ubuntu's wiki, [2]. Once you created one, you can check if it is correct with the "desktop-file-validate" command (available in the "desktop-file-utils" package).

Dear mentors, I'd like to ask you where I could find an explanation about what the 'urgency' field in debian/changelog is for, as it has been intriguing me for quite some time now.

Re: Easiest way to Debianise a package?
Hello,
I'm not a DD, but here are the first impressions I got from a quick review:
- There are lots of unnecessary files (all the .ex stuff, empty ones,
and otherwise unnecessary files). Also, yatc/trunk/debian/dirs lists
some directories which probably don't need to be created explictly.
- It's recommended to have a debian/watch file or a get-orig-source
in debian/rules to download the upstream tarball.
- Both packages have "Priority: extra" in debian/control. You
probably want "optional" there; see
/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-priorities
for an explanation about all possible values.
- I haven't really checked, but on a first glance it seems like yatc
misses some build dependencies. Have you tried if it builds correctly
in a chroot (like for example with pbuilder)?
- Why is the binary package tibia-data set as architecture dependent
("Architecture: any" means that it should be compiled for all
available architectures; you probably want "all" there, which means
that it is architecture independent and the .deb only needs to be
build on one architecture).
- Please don't say which packages it requires in yatc's description.
- The descriptions could take some spell checking ("an MMORPG" -> "a
MMORPG"; "2d" -> "2D"), and I think that they are too short.
- You can remove lines 3-7 from debian/rules, the commented examples
stuff in build-stamp and the comments from binary-arch.
- tibia-data could suggest or recommend yatc.
- The current standards version is 3.7.3, not 3.7.2.
- This is only a personal preference, but if a package is licensed
under "GPL version 2 or later" I prefer to refer to
"/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL" instead of
"/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2" (was GPL links to the latest one,
which is that one which the FSF recommends).
But anyway, good work. I know that packaging can be quite difficult at start :).

Re: Updating a package; ediquette and procedure questions
2008/6/23 Paul Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > 2. In Ubuntu, or Debian more generally, what happens when package > maintainers don't stay up to date? Ben already answered this point for Debian, so I'll answer it for Ubuntu. If the package is only in Ubuntu or the version already in Ubuntu is newer than that one in Debian: file a bug and tag it "upgrade". If you want, update the package yourself, attach the .diff.gz to the bug that you've filled and subscribe "ubuntu-universe-sponsors"; also consider submitting your changes to Debian (in a bug report). If the same version of the package is in Debian, it is preferred to do what Ben suggested and wait for Debian to package the new version, but if the Maintainer is unresponsive (and especially if Feature Freeze is approaching) just do so yourself as explained above. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: RFS: open-invaders
Hi, Thanks for looking at it Alexander, and sorry that I did not answer before but I wasn't subscribed to this list and so did not see your reply before. I fixed everything you said (it's online on mentors.deban.net [1]) except point 3, that one about the architecture independent stuff. You mean that the data should be in a separate binary package (open-invaders-data)? If so, could you appoint me to a tutorial on how to do that? (I looked at the contents of the Debian New Maintainer's Guide but it doesn't look like there's anything related to that). Also, currently the game is only building on i386 (upstream author promised to fix that, but it may still need some time), so is this necessary now?

Re: data only package?
Hi Paul, 2011/5/11 Paul Elliott : > Can anyone name an example of a well packaged data only package, (no build > needed), which is written in dh? I would like to look at an example. Probably someone else will come up with better examples, but here are some possibilities: - For traditional dh, glest-data comes to mind, but you'd probably want to use a debian/install file instead of using "cp" in debian/rules. - For dh7, you could take a look at gnome-activity-journal, which is a Python application and not a data package, but again the main change would be using a debian/install file instead of having dh7 automatically call distutils to do the job. - (You can see an example of debian/install usage in topshelf, but the rules file there is CDBS.) In any case, there shouldn't be much to it, you just put in a minimal dh7 debian/rules file and then a debian/install file where you list all files/directories " ", one line each (for example, "mycoolapp.png usr/share/pixmaps"). I hope this helps. If you've got any particular problem, just ask.

Whenever I've encountered this situation I just change all references after the build procedure, invoking "sed" from debian/rules (I find this much cleaner than using patches, since it doesn't require any changes if the files change, etc., you just have to be cautious that the clean rule reverts the changes correctly). -- Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) Free Software Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Need assistance in packaging / Brauche Hilfe bei der Erstellung von Paketen
Hi Björn, Maybe someone else can give you more details, but in the meantime here are some useful links (which should have more than enough information to get you started if you're already familiar with packaging): 2011/11/7 Björn Esser : > how to write/create man-pages See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/SupplementaryFiles#Man_Pages. > one source in multiple packages (e.g. somewhat (arch), > somewhat-doc(no-arch), somewhat-data (no-arch), etc.), removing > obsolete/not used files from the package I've found http://wiki.debian.org/PkgSplit, but that page lets it look much more scary than it actually is. To generate multiple packages, the usual procedure is having debian/rules install everything into debian/tmp (instead of debian/), and then having debian/.install (also .docs, .manpages, etc. if needed) to copy the files you're interested in into the correct debian/ directory. Of course you'll also need additional source stanzas in debian/control for each binary packages. If you're using debhelper 7 or CDBS they should then handle the debian/rules part automatically. > and in how-to package libs > (libany, libany-dev, libany-doc, etc.) http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html (also http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html) Hope this helps, -- Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) Free Software Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
