Dear mentors,
wanna sing karaoke?
If so I'd be pleased to find someone to upload this package to the
archives and thus assist me in fixing some (11, sort of, that is)
bugs.
This is an RFS for an ITA[0], I have packaged the newest upstream and
I believe this packaging fixes all outstanding bugs[1] of this package
(and introduces one new, but upstream bug, as I think).
Here the specs:
Package name : xmms-singit

a song.

The build process was done in a uptodate sid-chroot and verified using
pbuilder and lintian.
Maintaining this package will add to my part[2] of giving back to the
community. I recently added myself to the NM-queue[3] to show my
commitment, and I'm certainly well aware that Debian means more than
just packaging...
However, there is one issue I'd like to raise and hopefully to get
some hints on: RPATH
This package (and this package alone) places some libraries in
/usr/lib/xmms/Visualization/xmms-singit and makes use of them,
relocating them in the process. According to Richard Atterer[4] it is
in this case acceptable to just leave them like this, so this is what
I did. I also added some overrides to make lintian happy.
If this shouldn't be done I could surely take the necessary
precautions as outlined in the appropriate DebianWiki entry[5], but so
far I'd personally prefer to leave it as is, since this is the least
complex way.
Any comments, please?
BTW, the one new bug introduced in my packaging work is the new SDL
visualisation plugins causing a segfault of XMMS whenever one tries to
configure them. They are perfectly useable, though, but their settings
cannot be changed.
I'd file a bug and mark it as upstream as soon as the package will be
uploaded.
Thanks for taking your time,
Cheers,
Flo
