duplicate library code in a package
Hi! I'm packaging kchmviewer, which uses a version of chmlib bundled in the upstream tarball. Is it a Bad Thing to use that library instead of depending on the official packaged one?

package state after build
Hi! The knights package uses dpatch to correct some mistakes in po/de.po, thus generating a po/de.gmo which is different from the upstream source. While this doesn't affect the package build, a second build fails because of unrepresentable change to po/de.gmo. Should a package be rebuildable consecutive multiple times?

problems with bug #338269
Hi! I'm having some problems squashing this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338269 Since a couple of weeks ago knights was working without problems I think it could be caused by some library which it depends on. Do you have any advice about it? Does anybody experienced a similar breakage?

change in a package name
Hi! A Debian user some time ago sent me a script very similar to mrename (which I maintain). This new script is backward-compatible with the old one, and has some new features too. If I want to package the new script, is it better to choose a different name (something like mrename-ng) or keep the same?

strange behaviour of upstream Makefile
Hi! While checking a package I'm working on I got an error from linda, which calls make -nf debian/rules binary and loops. It seems that the problem lies in the $(CONFIGFILE) rule, which calls $(MAKE) which depends (indirectly) on $(CONFIGFILE). But then why make -f debian/rules works without problems? BTW, the package, the Makefile and debian/rules can be found at http://people.debian.org/~moronito Thanks in advance for help Tommaso Moroni
questions about packaging a kde app
Hi! While packaging my first kde application I had some problems/doubts: Is there any way to convert the upstream docbook in a man page? I tried with docbook-to-man and docbook-utils but they both didn't work. Also, is it normal that the program doesn't install the manual in KHelpCenter? The package can be found at http://people.debian.org/~moronito/temp Thank you in advance -- Tommaso Moroni [EMAIL PROTECTED]
another problem with kde app packaging
Hi, I followed the advices in the documentation in /usr/share/doc/kdelibs4-dev, but I get those strange errors while compiling: [...] In file included from /usr/include/kde/arts/artsflow.h:123, from /usr/include/kde/arts/soundserver.h:9, from audio.cpp:19, from knights.all_cpp.cpp:29: /usr/include/kde/arts/reference.h: At global scope: /usr/include/kde/arts/reference.h:41: error: field `myref' has incomplete type /usr/include/kde/arts/reference.h: In constructor ` Arts::Reference::Reference(const Arts::ObjectReference&)': /usr/include/kde/arts/reference.h:47: error: `myref' undeclared (first use this function) /usr/include/kde/arts/reference.h:47: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)

Ehm... no! I still cannot understand why it could be built on the other archs. Also, how could I find "missing" build-dep like this without wasting buildd time? I mean, I use pbuilder to find the minimum build-deps required for a package, and those specified for knights seemed enough because it compiled correctly. Am I missing something? (I surely am, but I cannot see where! :) Thanks for your patience! -- Tommaso Moroni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

questions on packaging
Hi! I've recently passed all the steps in the Debian NM process, but I haven't been approved by the DAM yet. I'm interested in packaging some software, and one of the packages I'd like to maintain is nearly ready. Should I wait for my application to be approved or look for a sponsor? Should I report an ITP even if I'm not a Debian Developer? Tommaso Moroni -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
upstream bugs
Hi! I'm maintaining two Debian packages and both have an upstream bug, which I've already reported to the upstream authors. The bug fixes will be included in the next upstream release. My question is: Should I wait for a new upstream release or should I apply the fixes to the current packages to get rid of those bugs as soon as possible?

how to use dh-perl
Hi. I'm packaging for the first time a perl program and I have some doubts about dh-perl. The program contains those lines: use DBI; use HTML::Template; but dh-perl doesn't find any dependency, so I added manually "libhtml-template-perl" and "libdbd-pg-perl" in the Depends field. Is dh-perl supposed to find them or is it correct to add those lines manually? Thanks Tommaso Moroni -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
