Re: Packaging pxljr

[Henry velez <henry.debian@gmail.com>]

Hi Didier.

Maybe you checked the git repo, I think it is ready. So, I was trying to build the package, but i am getting an error.

To start with the package I did this.

1. I deleted the debian folder of the source. (previously i did a copy in another place)

2. I ran the "dh_make" command to generate the debian folder again.

3. I copied the rules and the changelog files of the old (ubuntu) package into the new debian folder

4. I ran the "debuild -rfakefoot" command.

I know that the git repo is to use "git-buildpackage", but i wanted to use the classical way to be sure that everything is OK with the new package.

Attached you will find the output of debuild -rfakefoot.

Thank you very much.

"almost there" again. :-) The tags haven't appeared on the repository; you
need to push them all at once (git push --tags) or explicitely (git push
debian/1.1-0ubuntu7 upstream/1.1).

And what is the reason for your commit f02a4bd [0] ? This will create an
unnecessary difference between the original code and the debian'ized source.

Now, the next steps are

1) send an ITP bug (reportbug wnpp), that uses the information from
debian/control.
2) build the package in a clean chroot and make all needed changes towards the
Debian upload (the lintian output is a very good starter)
3) commit each change independently with a good commit message.

In the "obvious things" to enhance, I would see:
* conversion to 3.0 (quilt) source format
* conversion of the debian/rules to tiny dh7 style
* conditional installation of the Ubuntu-specific apport hook

Ready to start ?

Cheers,
