RFS: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (updated package)
Dear mentors, dear X Strike Force members
and dear Raphael Geissert (previous mainainer)
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1:0.2.904+svn842-1
of my package "xserver-xorg-video-openchrome".
It builds these binary packages:
xserver-xorg-video-openchrome - X.Org X server -- VIA display driver
xserver-xorg-video-via - X.Org X server -- VIA display driver (dummy transitional package)
The package appears to be lintian clean.
Apart form 5 overrides already set in the packaging.
The upload would fix these bugs: 583501
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome_0.2.904+svn842-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
The package is prepared for Upload to experimental, but the same package
could go to unstable if allowed by RT see #593861.
I'm writing to both X Strike Force and Mentors as my previous questions
to X strike force [1] did not get any response I'm guessing X Strike
Force is too bust with the release and bugs in other packages to mentor
a newbie like me. I hope I didn't hurt anyone by doing so.
1: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2010/08/msg00290.html
I still have some questions, even if I did prepare this package.
- The debian/copyright file, I added myself to the package copyright,
is this the right thing to do ? Should I have added all other
contributor to the package (there was several git commits on the
package done while it was RFA) ?
- I switched to source format 3.0 (quilt), but most X package currently
don't and xsfbs also set some patch rules (using quilt) can this
conflict ?
- I removed Raphael Geissert from the uploader field according to [2].
2: on http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/Contrib
| This field must be limited to those who are actively maintaining the
| package, and must be pruned regularly to avoid having too many
| people. This is something we are currently failing at.
- About git usage on alioth, is it good for mentored package to only
push the package once the upload is done, I want to do it that way so
that the history is not filled with trial and errors.
- About version, can the same package version be uploaded to
experimental and later to unstable (if the freeze exception is
granted) or should the 2 packages uses different versions ?
Hope those newbies questions don't look too silly.
Kind regards
