Yes, I've used as a basis the debian dir of ubuntu packages for all the components except of compiz 0.6.2. For it I've used the debian dir of Shame (http://shame.tuxfamily.org), which was packaging git compiz for a while. For the orig.tar.gz I've used the official source tarballs of compiz-fusion.org (http://releases.compiz-fusion.org/0.6.0/).hi emilio, thanks for the work on this!the biggest problem that we had been facing thus far is that the debian-x folks are very reluctant to take on management of cdbs-based packaging, which is why i never just took and cross-ported ubuntu's packages (which is what you've used as a basis for your packages, it seems).
What is the problem with cdbs? I think that these compiz-* packages are not too complicated.The only issues could arise in the managing the python packages, respecting the policy. I don't know too much about it. Perhaps we all could collaborate to obtain good packages, that's the advantage of the community!
as you can see, my ITP was a while back. a combination of factors have kept me really busy in the past few months, though it looks like this is finally cleared up now, and i can start spending time on fun things again :)
great ;-)
i'd like to continue working on debianized compiz-foo packages that the debian-x folks are more happy to team-maintain, but it seems like a real waste to leave everyone sitting around waiting in the meantime, esp. when someone (you) has already provided the working packages. so, i'm cc'ing debian-x with a proposal, that i hope will make everyone happy:I think that this is a good choice for the short term. Many debian testing/sid users who want to use compiz fusion and started using ubuntu for this (and many others) reason.0 - do a quick audit of the packages you've provided.1 - i take the packages that you've provided, add myself to Uploaders, and sponsor uploads into unstable of these packages. 1.5 - bug reports go to you as the official maintainer, and you can coordinate with me on any fixes/updates which i will also sponsor.2 - i continue working on the non-cdbs debianisation in the pkg-xorg repo3 - at some point >= now, we have a "handover" where the pkg-xorg maintained packages replace the sponsored package. 4 - you are invited to join debian-x and continue to help team-maintain the latest pkg-xorg maintained packages.what does everyone think of this?
I don't know how actually pkg-xorg maintain packages, I must read something about it (perhaps googling ;-) )..
What are the advantages? Emilio
