2023-10-13 Thread Andreas Tille
Hi,

this is the call for the next video meeting of the Debian Med team
that are an established means to organise the tasks inside our team.

After some summer break we decided to meet only once a month every
second Saturday of a month at 19 UTC.  Meetings usually take us only
15-20min depending what we are talking about and how many people are
joining.  The next meeting is tomorrow
   
 https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20231014T19

The meeting is on the Debian Social channel

 https://jitsi.debian.social/DebianMedCovid19

The topic is what contributors have done in the past period and to
coordinate the work until the next meeting.

For those who are interested in hot topics we want to tackle, here
are some items:

  - Just say hello after some break
  - I might report about Debian Med BoF at DebConf if there is interest
  - Outreachy program

Newcomers - specifically outreachy applicants are always welcome.

Lets keep on the great work and see you tomorrow
 
   Andreas.

Unfortunately your package at its current shape does not meet the standard
of being included into Debian archive. Issues include (but not limited to)
wrong package architecture (architecture: all), installing files into /opt
(which is not allowed per Debian's Policy), unmatched license information
(GPL-2+ vs. GPL-3), etc. You also have to provide a source package (.dsc)
instead of binary packages (.deb).

If you want to improve the packaging and do it yourself, please get started
by reading https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ and
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq . Further discussion should be
posted to https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/ instead of current
debian-devel.

Thanks,

apt-listchanges testers: new version (4.2) is available, please note these changes

2023-10-13 Thread Jonathan Kamens
Version 4.2 of apt-listchanges is now available in experimental. Please 
test.


Three important notes:

1) There was a bug in 4.1 that caused corruption in the database of 
previously seen changelog entries (sorry!). The bug has been fixed, but 
the corruption was too complex to be recoverable, so 4.2 erases the 
database and starts from scratch. It will work just fine, but if you 
want to speed up future updates you can run "systemctl start 
apt-listchanges.timer" after upgrading to 4.2 to force it to rebuild the 
database from installed packages in the background. Make sure to keep 
your computer running for a couple hours, though if you do need to 
reboot you can just start it again afterward since it's idempotent.


2) I want to give a shout-out to Alexandre Detiste for his help starting 
to add typing hints to the apt-listchanges code-base, which is how the 
aforementioned bug was found.


3) To facilitate easier future debugging of issues like the one that was 
introduce in 4.1, 4.2 introduces a new snapshot feature which is only 
live in experimental builds. Each time apt-listchanges runs it captures 
a snapshot of a few data files (e.g., its database at the beginning and 
end of the run, /var/lib/dpkg/status, the news and changelog entries 
that were displayed to the user, the list of debs that were parsed for 
changelog entries). Up to the last 7 snapshots are saved. If you end up 
running into an issue I may ask you to send me the relevant snapshots to 
help me troubleshoot. If you prefer you can disable the snapshots by 
setting capture_snapshots to false in /etc/apt/listchanges.conf. 
However, if you leave it set to "auto", which is the value it will get 
by default, then it will automatically be removed from the config file 
and the old snapshots purged when you upgrade to a non-experimental 
version of apt-listchanges.


Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns or run into any 
issues.


Thanks!

Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian-emac...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: bison-mode
  Version : 0.3
  Upstream Author : Eric Beuscher , Wilfred Hughes 

* URL or Web page : https://github.com/Wilfred/bison-mode
* License : GPL-2+
  Description : Emacs major mode for editing lex, yacc, and bison files

This package provides a GNU Emacs major mode for editing lex, yacc files, as
well as their extension formats like flex, bison, and jison.  It provides
flex-mode, bison-mode, and jison-mode to add syntax highlighting and electric
support when editing the corresponding types of files.

I intend to maintain this package within the Debian Emacsen team.
