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
