need help to solve celestia bug#303860

2005-06-04 Thread Mathias Weyland
Hi

I'm trying to solve bug #303860 but I need some help. The problem is that
the configure script errors on sparc because it can't find the KDE
libraries. All other architechtures build fine.

linda complained that the libtool files were pretty old, so my sponsor
suggested to update libtool and pointed me to [1]. Unfortunately, the result
after the update is just the same. configure is not able to find the KDE
libs. 

I've asked several people for help now, but even together we weren't able to
track the problem down.

Best regards
Mathias Weyland

meanin of sid tag

2005-07-28 Thread Mathias Weyland
Hi

I don't understand what the 'sid' tag is for and who is allowed to set it.

Bug #318692 and #320218 have been assigned to the packages xlib-dev,
bookmarkbridge and 3ddesktop. Both of those bugs deal with changing
build-deps for Xorg. Since we already have a 3ddesktop package with fixed 
dependencies ready for upload (see pending bug #319120) I reassigned the 
two bugs to the packages bookmarkbridge and xlib-dev. (This seems easier 
to me than cloning the bugs, reassigning the clones to my package and
merging them with the pending bug).

During this procedure, I noticed that bug #318692 and #320218 were tagged as
'sid'. I wrongly admitted that the 'sid' tag was for sid what the 'sarge' tag 
is for sarge and the 'etch' tag for etch: A tag which marks that the bug 
applies to sid. I knew that the 'sarge-ignore' and 'etch-ignore' tags should 
only be used by the release managers. To make sure that this is not the case 
for the
'sid' tag, I checked [0] and saw that there were no such restrictions. I
wanted to tag bug #319120 as 'sid', but it failed (see [1]):

# Automatically generated email from bts, devscripts version 2.8.14
tags 319120 - sid

Is it possible that I am not allowed to set the 'sid' tag on bugs of my
packages? If yes, this should be documented in [0] as it is for the
'*-ignore' tags in my opinion.

The second thing I don't quite understand is the description of the 'sid'
tag (also in [0]):

This bug particularly applies to an architecture that is currently
unreleased (that is, in the sid distribution).

I didn't quite understand the meaning of the clarification in the brackets,
to I checked the German version of the page and still didn't understand it
(even though I'm a native German speaker). Then I checked the French version
and things became clearer.

But as far as I can see, the 'sid' tag is used in a different context. Bug
#318692 I mentioned above for example tells us that we have to build-depend
on stuff like libxxf86vm-dev because it isn't in xlibs-dev (formerly in
xlibs-static-dev) anymore. This applies to _every_ architecture.

Or another example: Bug #221224 deals with the wrong size of a window, but
the bug description doesen't mention any particularly affected architecture.

I hope anyone can tell me what I misunderstood or fix the descriptions.

Best regards

Mathias Weyland

I use xmltv and I'd like to adopt it.

That would be nice since I do maintain some debian packages but I'm not DD
yet.

That's no problem.

I don't see any problem in maintaing such a backport.

Bug#333355: ITP: bmpx -- Universal audio player supporting Winamp skins

2005-10-11 Thread Mathias Weyland
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: bmpx
  Version : 0.13
  Upstream Author : M. Derezynski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://bmpx.berlios.de/w/index.php/BMPx_Homepage
* License : GPL
  Description : Universal audio player supporting Winamp skins

The beep media player x is an audio player that can be either used with
 a built-in frontend which currently utilizes Winamp 2.x compatible skins,
 or as a daemon for other frontends to connect via a DBus interface. It
 relies on libxine and can therefore play all the formats which are
 supported by this library. BMPx comes with a VFS layer that allows 
 location-independent access to files.
 .
 Please note that BMPx is a rewrite and does not share the xmms codebase
 anylonger. This means that xmms plugins and old BMP plugins are not supported
 by this package.


---
Note: Upstream decided to abandon the old xmms source code base. I decided to
provide BMPx as a separate package. This has three reasons:

1. The plugin API completely changed. For example, BMPx will use libvisual for
   visualization plugins. Current beep media player plugins and ported xmms 
plugins
   won't work.

2. BMPx is usable at the moment, but can't be considered as a replacement for
   the beep media player currently in Debian. This can change soon, but it does 
not
   have to.

3. The name of the current BMP package is beep-media-player, which is quite
   long IMO. Section 2.3 of the new maintainer guide suggest to use 
abbreviations.

Please also note that I have a package ready but it may take some time until it
gets into Debian unstable because some of the dependencies are still only
available in experimental.

Best regards
Mathias Weyland
