Re: [MoM] Packaging Camp for Debian



Hi Andreas

- I've compressed the sources of Camp in camp-0.7.1.tar.gz,
Question:  How did you obtained these sources before compressing them.

I downloaded these source here : https://github.com/greenjava/camp

- Then on the wiki page of MoM, there is a link to a git repository
for my project, but I'm asking if I have a writing access on it ?

You need to create an account on alioth.debian.org first and ask for
becoming added to the Debian Med team.

Done.

And first, does this repository already exist ? Because I can't
clone it for now, and I don't see it anywhere...
This repository does not yet exist ... I just "invented" this string for
the moment. :-)

Fine! Is it to me to create it ? (When I will be in the team)

- About "debian/watch" : The problem is there are some forks from
it, and the more recent is one year old. Does one of forks could be
used ? (Knowing that they look like that :
https://github.com/tegesoft/camp).

We are packaging the source which is mentioned in d/watch (this is
connected to my "get sources" question).  If *you* (as an educated
person about the code) decide to package a fork for whatever reason
this for should be fetched with d/watch and you should document the
reasons for this in the file debian/README.source.

So do you think that I have to fork the repository ?

The organization of the Git repository doesn't include the
different version, like it by example :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vxl/files/vxl/
What do you think about it ?

I'm afraid I do not understand this question.  (BTW, I just uploaded vxl
to unstable.)

By example, in the case of VXL, there are many directories on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vxl/files/vxl/  for each version. Is d/watch
available to work with a repository containing only the source files (as
https://github.com/greenjava/camp) ?
- I've opened a new thread on
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/08/msg00845.html  . Does
it seem all right for you ?

Yes, it is.  (Just for the wording:  I would have said here in this mail
  s/I've opened a new thread on/I filed an ITP bug/
... and I would not refer to the thread on debian-devel but rather
to #759244)
- In this thread, as Upstream Author, I put the name of the last
person I know who worked on Camp. Is it ok ?

The ITP bug is not really relevant for this since once the package the
bug is closed and forgotten.  Please make sure you document things
properly inside the package (README.source).

I did it after have read this part of the "Debian New Maintainers’ Guide" :
"If no one else is working on it, file an ITP (Intent To Package) bug report to the
wnpp pseudo-package using reportbug."


Thank you for your answer,

Best regards,

Corentin
