Ogon packaging for Debian (was: Re: Bug#906072: Ogon packages available (Linux RDP Server))

Hi Mike,

of course I'm ok with working in public and cross-posting is also fine with me.

Ok. I Cc: debian-remote ML then with this next post.

I subscribed to the recommended list and I'm looking for some non-graphical usable IRC client I can keep running somewhere (in screen) -> WIP

irssi is the one I use.

As you mentioned: Most of the packages are forks of other projects (and there are even more):
  ogon-pulseaudio <- pulseaudio
  ogon-weston <- weston
  ogon-x-backend <- xserver
ogon-libxfont <- libxfont (The docs are not quite clear about if this is needed at all for up-to-date distros)

What's the scary part about that?

Code de-deduplication should be avoided in Debian, so shipping two pulseaudios (one for ogon, one for everything else) is not Debian policy compliant.

Besides the possible auto-dependency hell if shipping multiple libraries with the same name?

That is the least problem, indeed.

Some of the packages allow renaming of the libraries with a prefix, if I recall correctly that was the case with pulseaudio at least.

I guess we need to get in touch with upstream about possibilities of dropping those code deduplications where possible. I talked to Bernhard about this some time ago (when we met personally at one of the X2Go Gatherings).

So my next step will be to get acquainted with the git-based packaging workflow.

Good. Feel free to ask any question if they come up.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to "keep things rolling" :-)

Providing your debian/ folders on salsa is the best thing to do as the next step.

Mike
