Re: Fwd: Bug#764549: ITP: siril -- Astronomical image processing tool
Dear debian-astro members,
I have started to make the debian package for Siril, the free astronomy
image processing tool. I have created the git with instructions from
Ole, and started to implement his remarks. However, I'm stuck now and
there are some remarks remaining to be treated, see the list below.
The upstream package has not been released yet, I was waiting for the
debian package to work before releasing it, if corrections are needed
for it. I have done an svn export in the upstream branch, and if I
understand correctly, you need to make a tarball of this branch and name
it siril_0.9.0b.orig.tar.gz in the parent directory to be able to build
the package. I'm currently unable to build it because I have made a
modification in the debian branch to remove the LICENSE file from make
install, and debuild detects it and stops.
If you could take a look at what I did wrong, that'd be great. You are
most welcome if you want to maintain the package too, because the debian
system is very time-consuming when you don't know it.
Here is the list of remaining actions as listed by Ole:
General
-------
* To check the build, you can use the tools "lintian" and "blhc". To
enable verbose warnings and explanations on lintian, you can use
lintian -E -I --pedantic -i siril_0.9.0b-1.amd64.changes
The errors must be solved; for the normal warnings I would strongly
recommend to solve them (or overwrite if they are wrong). However,
you should have a look to all warnings (even the pedantic ones),
since they may point to a potential problem. Some of the comments
below arise from lintian. blhc is silent for your package; however
it is good to keep it in mind as a helper.
-> I wasn't able to go this far
* Since it is a gui program, it may be worth to create a desktop icon
and a menu entry for it.
-> we have an icon in the upstream files, the file named pixmaps/siril_1.svg
-> we have not done any menu, I guess you are more experienced than us for that
matter
debian/copyright
----------------
* The encoding (for author names etc.) should be UTF-8.
-> I have no way of encoding the files in UTF-8, you may need to convert them.
debian/watch
------------
* missing. Please add this file to enable automated check for updates
-> the upstream package has not been released yet, it will be soon, and I guess
-> we need to know the URL to create this file
Best regards,
Vincent
