Hi Jens, Hendrik and Michael! I am forwarding this to the bug report as it is my review of the differences of my package and the one built by you, Hendrik. I already updated my package to fio-1.32. I will send a mail about this after this one. After updating my package today, I found that Hendrik send me a subversion URL for fetching his package in a mail to me and Jens Axboe only - as the above review it didn't went to this bug report: "Martin, feel free to fetch the package source from http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/ext-maint/fio or svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/collab-maint/ext-maint You are very welcome to get/check/fix things there" The HTTP URL seems to be (note the slash at the end): http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/ext-maint/fio/ But I still did not get it checked out: ms@mango:~/lokal/Debian> LANG=C svn checkout http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/ext-maint/fio/ svn: XML data was not well-formed Maybe the WebDAV/SVN HTTP URL is different? I included the examples as documentation in my package already, but I like to compare Copyright files as well. Any hint on how to checkout the package from Hendrik? Information of my current package will follow shortly. Ciao, Martin ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Betreff: Re: Fwd: Built a package for fio Date: Mittwoch, 20.

I have a couple of comments / suggestions: 1) Could you add my manpage for fio_generate_plots? It helps making the package lintian clean and I think it adds some value for the end user as well. That might be something for you, Jens, as well, to integrate upstream. 2) Your doc file is missing out the HOWTO and REPORTING-BUGS files. I attached my version. I am not completely sure about REPORTING-BUGS, but the HOWTO seems to be quite interesting. 3) Does a docbase entry for the HOWTO makes sense? I attached mine. 4) I used priority optional, since I think this package wouldn't conflict with any other package. 5) I added a Suggests: gnuplot since the bash script fio_generate_plots would like to have it. I missed out the examples and your copyright file is better done as well - that seems to be the new machine readable format I read about somewhere. Also the rules file look interestingly short. cdbs appears to be really nice stuff. ;) I can't do any of above changes myself as I have no write access to that SVN repository. I would do any changes that you agree with, Hendrik, otherwise.
