6.0.10 is the latest and per upstream request the watch file will not try and pull anything other then 6.x. http://mikemestnik.net/debian/atheme-services/ I've went over my pkg and had only one hold back from uploading it to mentors and that's the debian/copyright file. I've made a lot of changes and I believe it's in good shape but I feel it will need two things, both are two ways of saying the same thing thankfully. It should need to be forward ported from the pkg-irc version 2.2.0+hg20071209-1 and that's assuming it was correct at that time. I have merged this tree with Lenny atheme-services_3.0.4-1.diff, so we should be good up-to that point. The second task is to make sure that every file in the completed source tree is included in the copyright as the current copyright file lists the status of each file individually. http://mikemestnik.net/debian/atheme-services/debian/copyright There is always something else I'll remember. The build log spits out a message about unnecessarily linking with libssl. I'm sure that's true of most of the binaries, but there must be one that makes use of it. To that end we need to make sure we are following current practices in regards to libssl copyright. * Note the pkg screams and dies if the embedded copy of libmowgli is used. One interesting note is that it would be possible for a user to build a package like this with -d, if this were removed. I'd like to extend the pkg to support this, but in that case the correct control file contains conflicts libmowgli. Regardless auditing of the pkg is necessary as it's my vary first and I've taken liberties. It's possible it's vary far from being usable. > > If you are unconfortable to deal with upstream, please let me deal with > them.

There are a number of notes for upstream. 1. The libssl, I'm supposed to ask them to remove it. That is, for example, it's not necessary on most of the modules that currently link to it. 2. .hgtags in *libmowgli, they can remove these in the next tarball. >From what I gather these are files created by a VCS. > > In other words, I can mentor this package, given time. I don't think anyone has taken a good look at the pkg yet, so you may want to wait for it to sit on mentors for a bit so that I can say with some certainty that it's good to go. > > A. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPapw1AAoJEOPRqa2O3KuKn0sP/0a0IZXOxf+toyAKmGBBob+2 qq1h8Ih2B0rAaPkuNswwa7hjPzh5/lb+aKi/ZeVp1dG3mY4cSl2fMoRgNAl6hTSN bjbdPoMRZfT3fGYu787TQ1L0o1hbOurEGcZChheP/IX2O+TFwdXn17VVnKrgQpP1 DOCWtfpMNtqKaGiQQPNBluQ/9AlJyNxOY1G7yemXcHC5kuBY/U6ndwz3fHLMg20k R9IcABP8DXAQLHKhRVPloLlS00nJP8f8CR4+3EWM/BVmpQj5wqxMM/ROlH2PUrO/ 0yMDzFCUady2tnZnxExwT1iDJdWGb3yI+6KkQ/TLpLiFm/AlSFH++92IoGNYH9PY wxP/0Sn4K6VG8PYsQ80ijHrWt5JXmWoIoww+wbvELgqv7nPcfAJpRole3t2aaJob cMH+cLfcGaLAXeVfvVTilSTK8V33ioR9M2hTFjyplhp0VugvAXnkzWFUXVZF5pae H/M1rOhLLTJd/r02JmpMofHQS1DCwWTViGJJTVTKHRga2Uf826IBqwrAo/kh+TOF i1VId+5FuYHCV37RFYUQW4BnRM8RXjPEPxToROztBG2puuDYHB+1s1lFjKdoSiS/ JF57sq+yy5Jk+/Juv2RLwJTOXT5Lm/iPdWgh0Fpr/mACWb8z2B3+ZxQo5NA976Po r/mE1cVw0bsXyW7hNVCu =GWbb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
