Subject: ITP: Spout - Tiny abstract b&w 2D cave-shooter

Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2006 13:22:08 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Javier Candeira" <javier@candeira.com>

* Package name    : spout
  Version         : 1.1
  Upstream Author : "Kumi" <ku_@din.or.jp>
* URL             : http://www.din.or.jp/~ku_/junk/spout11.zip
* License         : None
  Description     : Tiny abstract b&w 2D cave-shooter

Spout is a small, abstract shooting game from Japanese developer Kuni.
It plays somewhat like Finnish cavefliers, except you have to erode
your surroundings with your ship’s exhuast. It’s great fun.
Your goal is to fly upwards as long as you possibly can, without
crashing or your time running out.

Currently the game is only source-available, as there is no license
provided. I have already emailed the developer asking him about releasing it
under a DFSG-compliant license.

Subject: Spout package ready for upload

Date: Sun, 28 May 2006 01:05:19 +0200

I have fixed all the snags that were holding Spout from DFSG and policy
compliance. So far I have:

- Got upstream author to include in his sources a license.txt with a
  DFSG-compliant (MIT in this case) license
- Written a manpage
- Fixed my .gpg situation and package is now signed with the same key as
  this email (which is also in the debian keyring)
- Made an icon and a .desktop file.
- Made sure package is lintian clean.

Spout can be downloaded from http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/

So I think that now, barring any involuntary bugs, Spout package is ready
for upload. I am looking for a mentor now: next on my list is writing to the
debian-mentors and debian-games lists.

Subject: WNPP bug closing

Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 11:59:40 -0600

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 356492
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
356492@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.

Subject: reopened: Spout ready for upload for over a year

Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 13:10:17 +0200

My ITP for Spout was just closed for lack of activity in the past year. Lack
of activity is due to the fact the game is packaged and ready to upload (or
at least ready to be examined by a DD for potential upload).

It compiles and runs just fine on Sid/Etch.

I just reopened it, and I am writing to -mentors and -games to ask for an
uploader.

Subject: RFS: Spout, a tiny but wonderful black and white game (ITP with Bug#356492)

Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2007 15:31:00 +1000

Dear Mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package Spout, a tiny black and white
cave-scrolling game built in c on top of SDL:

* Package name    : Spout
  Version         : 1.1a-1
  Upstream Author : Kumi
* URL             : http://www.din.or.jp/~ku_/junk/spout11a.zip
* License         : MIT
  Section         : games

* Browse   : http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/
  and you'll find :
      http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/spout_1.1a-1.diff.gz
      http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/spout_1.1a-1.dsc
      http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/spout/spout_1.1a.orig.tar.gz

Uploading this package will close bug 356492. It is policy-compliant and 	

Only difference between spout 1.1a and spout 1.1 (the version quoted in the
ITP bug) is the inclusion in the zipfile of a license.txt including the text
of the MIT license.

Thanks everyone who read this far!

Hello, Javier,

I am wiling to sponsor this game, but there are some problems (for me;
others may not share this):

debian/copyright - missing year(s) of copyright

Also, there is SDL/license.txt in the source, but it is not obvious
what is the license of the files outside the SDL directory. You
should check this with upstream. Ideally, every source file should have
a license block in the beginning.

Hm. As far as I see, everything that is needed for the "make" run is in
SDL. So it may be best to omit everything outside SDL out of
the .orig.tar.gz.

Since you're re-packaging (zip -> tar.gz), you may want to remove some
cruft like SDL.dll and Spout.exe from the source archive.

To make this easily reviewable and maintainable, please provide
debian/get-orig-source.sh that automates the process (zip->unzip,
remove cruft->.orig.tar.gz)

Please provide debian/watch file. See uscan(1) for the format.

The .desktop file is invalid. Try desktop-file-validate from
desktop-file-utils package.

Install .desktop file with dh_desktop (in binary-arch target). It
install the .desktop file *and* calls update-desktop-database from the
maintainer scripts. See dh_desktop(1).

Please add debian/menu file. Note that section names are changed. See
recent announcement on debian-devel-announce and menufile(5) (be sure
to have at least version 2.1.35 of the "menu" package)

It would be nice if you can remove the lines from debian/rules that are
presently commented out and for which it is obvious that they'll never
be needed (example: dh_perl).

The game writes its HiScores file (spout.sco) in the current working
directory. Can you make it use /var/games for that? Or at least
~/.spout.sco?

Damyan, Thanks so much for answering, and thanks especially for agreeing to
work with me on the package.

Here are my answers to your requests. I have taken some time in replying to
your email because I wanted to finish everything first.

> I am wiling to sponsor this game, but there are some problems (for me;

Fixed.

Upstream is very loose on licensing. His 1.1 release had no license
whatsoever, and I had to ask him to put a license in the code. He finally
put the MIT license in license.txt in the file and changed version to 1.1a.

I could hound him to put the header in every source file, I suppose, but I
have the email exchange proving that he really meant to license the game
this way. I hope this is enough.

Tried to, but I can't make it work. For some reason, spout gets installed
with user:group root:root instead of root:games. Is that something I am
doing wrong?

Thanks again!

This game so rocks, i played it long before it was ITP'd, and still
it's not in Debian. Unbelievable? Disappointing? I don't know what it
is...

Are you still working on it? Would you mind me finishing the package
and maintaining it in Debian? I don't mind co-maintainers...

Man, I have an ITP I haven't touched in months, but I am coming back to
health, so yes, I would like to finish the package myself, but yes, I would
also love to have you as a co-maintainer.

Is that good? I am sorry I haven't been able to get it in post-Etch, but
working with you would definitely be good. So let's make it work.

Thanks,

Javier

Good to hear, get well soon. What's your hiscore?

I have the latest upload at
http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/spout/

The reject reasons are in the bug number and should be easy to fix.
