Bug#665354: RFS: viennacl/1.3.0+dfsg-1 (for experimental)

[Bart Martens <bartm@debian.org>]

Hi Michael,

About the package at mentors uploaded there on 2012-08-03 05:49 :

You seem to have responded to my previous comment by writing this in
debian/copyright :

  |  Source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/viennacl/files/
  |   To obtain the DFSG-free source, use the following option with git-import-orig:
  |   --filter="*/TU_Signet_CMYK.eps" --filter-pristine-tar
  |   .
  |   Note that the upstream source tar-ball is called
  |   ViennaCL-${VERSION}-src.tar.gz, not ViennaCL-${VERSION}.tar.gz.

So I tried this :

  |  $ git-import-orig --filter="*/TU_Signet_CMYK.eps" --filter-pristine-tar
  |  gbp:error: No archive to import specified. Try --help.

So the provided information is not detailed enough for someone not familiar
with git-import-orig.

Also, I read in "man git-import-orig" that git-import-orig is to import
upstream source code in a local git repository.  But I don't have a local git
repository for this package.

I suggest to simply write the following in debian/copyright :

  |  The repackaged source can be reproduced by following these steps :
  |  - download ViennaCL-1.3.0-src.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/viennacl/files/1.3.x/
  |  - tar xzf ViennaCL-1.3.0-src.tar.gz
  |  - rm ViennaCL-1.3.0-src/doc/manual/figures/TU_Signet_CMYK.eps
  |  - mv ViennaCL-1.3.0-src viennacl-1.3.0.orig
  |  - tar cf viennacl_1.3.0+dfsg.orig.tar viennacl-1.3.0.orig
  |  - gzip -9 viennacl_1.3.0+dfsg.orig.tar
