I have seen the ITP on simplescreenrecorder. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722249 I have decided to help out packaging this package. Whoever owns this bug and is working on this please clone: git@github.com:pelliott80/simplescreenrecorder-dpm.git or https://github.com/pelliott80/simplescreenrecorder-dpm.git This is a packaging repository used for packaging. It is in dpm format. http://git-dpm.alioth.debian.org/ This is the most common format for packaging work on alioth. packages in this format usually have at least 3 branches, upstream, pristine-tar, and master. upstream contains the upstream's source unmodified. pristine-tar is used to reconstruct a tarball. master is the files as modified for packaging there will be a debian directory and the source may be modified by any patches. here is the changelog entry I used to help get this package into Debian: simplescreenrecorder (0.3.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium * volunteer to help get it into Debian. * change to non-native package; native packages do not make it into Debian. * update standards version to 3.9.6 * remove unneeded build dependency on build-essential * remove duplicate dependency in build depends, libxext-dev, libx11-dev, - libxfixes-dev * use correct format specification URI - https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ * remove indefinite article from Description field * wrap too long line in Description field * remove empty debian/postinst * update copyright file * fix VCS fields - VCS fields should point to the source control for the packaging; - not the source control for the program. * create debian/watch file. -- Paul Elliott <pelliott@blackpatchpanel.com> Sat, 07 Mar 2015 16:59:23 -0600 here are the current results of lintian: P: simplescreenrecorder source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature N: N: This watch file does not include a means to verify the upstream tarball N: using cryptographic signature. N: N: If upstream distributions provide such signatures, please use the N: pgpsigurlmangle options in this watch file's opts= to generate the URL N: of an upstream GPG signature. This signature is automatically downloaded N: and verified against a keyring stored in N: debian/upstream-signing-key.asc. N: N: Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures, but you could N: request them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the N: code against their wishes after the release. Projects such as N: phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have suffered from this kind of N: attack. N: N: Refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details. N: N: Severity: pedantic, Certainty: certain N: N: Check: watch-file, Type: source N: W: simplescreenrecorder: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/simplescreenrecorder N: N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should N: have a manual page N: N: Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several N: program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have N: its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is N: sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman N: don't support this. N: N: If the name of the man page differs from the binary by case, man may be N: able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to make the N: case of the man page match the case of the binary. N: N: If the man pages are provided by another package on which this package N: depends, lintian may not be able to determine that man pages are N: available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have man N: pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add N: a lintian override. N: N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 12.1 (Manual pages) for details. N: N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible N: N: Check: manpages, Type: binary N: W: simplescreenrecorder: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/ssr-glinject I: Lintian run was successful. As I see it the outstanding issues on getting this package into Debian is the lack of manpages for ssr-glinject and simplescreenrecorder. Perhaps the upstream, Maarten Baert, could be persuaded to write those manpages. He knows those programs best. By the way, who owns this bug? perhaps we could collaborate in getting this program into Debian?
