Bug#603336: ITP: classads -- library for Condor's classads expression language

2010-11-13 Thread Michael Hanke
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Michael Hanke 

* Package name: classads
  Version : 1.0.9
  Upstream Author : Condor Team 
* URL : http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/classad
* License : Apache
  Programming Lang: C++,
  Description : library for Condor's classads expression language

 A classad (classified ad) is a mapping from attribute names to expressions. In
 the simplest cases, the expressions are simple constants (integer, floating
 point, or string), thus a form of property list. Attribute expressions
 can also be more complicated. There is a protocol for evaluating an attribute
 expression of a classad vis a vis another ad. Two classads match if each ad has
 attribute requirements that evaluate to true in the context of the other ad.
 Classad  matching is used by the Condor central manager to determine the
 compatibility of jobs and workstations where they may be run.


This package is necessary for packaging Condor itself (#602842). Ubuntu
has a classads package that served as starting point of this effort.
Here is the current list of changes on top of that:

  * Shorten and slightly improve package descriptions.
  * Raise debhelper compat to 7 (already build-depended on >7).
  * Add another binary package 'classads' to install the command line
utilities. Keeping them in the runtime library package would have made it
impossible to co-install a future libclassad1 package, due to file
conflicts.
  * Move to an unversioned -dev package. There is no intention to maintain
multiple library versions in parallel.
  * No longer install unneeded .la files (squeeze release goal).
  * No longer install duplicate license files as docs.
  * Add VCS information to debian/control.
  * Move to a DEP-5 compliant debian/copyright.
  * Improve clean target in debian/rules to remove all temporary files.

The packaging is available at:

  http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/classads.git

Re: Squeeze Artwork: selection of default theme

Great to hear that you now know about the location of artwork
discussions, given that you imply by posting here that you are
interested in such work.

And I do not expect it, I must admit.  Everyone do not get a say on
most decisions made in Debian, and this is a good thing to speed up
development and keep the overhead of decisions low.  This time you
(and I) did not get to provide input on the visual profile for
Squeeze, but a lot of people were involved in the process and I trust
them to do good work.  I see no need for a rematch, nor any need to
try to overrule those doing this work.  I believe it is well within
the scope and authority of the desktop group to make such decision,
and am happy there are people working on the visual profile in Debian.

Happy hacking,

source package format 3.0 with multiple tar balls

2010-11-13 Thread Norbert Preining
Hi,

I can't get $subject to work, and the wiki page
http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0
is hard to parse/udnerstand in this respect.

I have two source tarballs
luatex_0.64.0.orig.tar.bz2
unpacking into luatex-beta-0.64.0/.
luatex_0.64.0.orig-manual.tar.bz2
unpacking into luatex-beta-0.64.0/manual/
but it seems that an additional level of "manual" (=component)
is created:
dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file manual/manual/luatexref-env.tex
dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file manual/manual/fdata.lua
...

So I guess I have to repackage again the two orig .tar.bz2 (they are
distributed like that), the source format cannot work with that.

Am I right or do I miss something here?

Best wishes

Norbert

This is, AFAICT, working exactly as intended.
It's correctly picking the "linux-headers" alternative.  It then
fails because linux-headers is a virtual package, and the internal
resolver won't resolve virtual packages (where the apt and aptitude
resolvers will) by default.

D: Running command: /usr/bin/schroot -d / -c sid-amd64-sbuild-b7bb4e56-286d-470f

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
E: Package 'linux-headers' has no installation candidate
Package linux-headers is a virtual package provided by:
apt-get failed.
Package installation failed

If you set $enable_virtual=1, it will attempt to deterministically
resolve the dependency and it will then succeed:

D: Running command: /usr/bin/schroot -d / -c 
sid-amd64-sbuild-ed94fbb6-5775-4598-8237-e965218bbc94 --run-session -q -u root

The following extra packages will be installed:

Suggested packages:
  gcc-4.3-locales gcc-4.3-multilib libmudflap0-4.3-dev gcc-4.3-doc libgcc1-dbg

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64 linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common
  linux-kbuild-2.6.32

So I don't think we need to worry too much about this specific case;
it's merely highlighting how deficient the internal resolver is!

So I looked at [2], clicked through to the Universal Debian Database
[3], selected Sort By "last modified", and clicked Search.  The very
first bug on the result [4] is #545911, which is already fixed.

This surprised me greatly, since I thought I was searching for bugs
"affecting" squeeze.  

I later noticed that among the list of filters is "marked as done"
which was not considered.  So the default search appears to be "bugs
that affected squeeze at some point in time", which is slightly
different from what I had first imagined ("bugs affecting squeeze
NOW").

So, a tip for others: be sure to "ignore" bugs marked as done.

Cheers,
-Steve

It's marked as fixed in lilypond 2.12.3-1.  Squeeze has lilypond
2.12.2-1.  So it does affect squeeze.

Wrong

Please don't. There are many cases where a bug can be marked as done,
while still affecting squeeze.

Usually, a good way to understand why the bug still affects squeeze is
to look at the BTS found/fixed graph, and at rmadison.

Re: source package format 3.0 with multiple tar balls

2010-11-13 Thread Paul Wise
dpkg-source unpacks the second tarball to a subdirectory based on the
-manual postfix.

The upstream tarball contains a manual subdirectory:

$ tar tf luatex-beta-0.64.0-doc.tar.bz2 | head -n2
luatex-beta-0.64.0/manual/
luatex-beta-0.64.0/manual/graphics/

So the manual/manual thing comes from the orig.tar suffix plus the
subdir inside the upstream tarball.

So, two options:

File a bug on dpkg-source asking for it to strip the additional levels
of subdirectories with single entries until a file or a directory with
multiple files/directories in it shows up.

Adapt your packaging to use the additional level of subdirectory. This
would be the simpler option, unless I am missing something.

BTW, upstream uses a -doc tarball suffix, why not use that?

yup, so it is.

I choose option 3: repackage the two tar balls into one ;-) As I did
it the last releases.

You mean keep the -doc, that unpacks into 
luatex-0.64.0/doc/manual/...
and adapt the packaging.

Yeah, that could be a good option with less work.

Thanks for the suggestion.
