I have created an experimental Debian packages for it, which is available at
<http://www.janw.dommel.be/piklab.html>.

Note that this package is not well tested and not linda/lintian clean. I
don't know if everything works as expected. Reports are welcome.

At the moment, I don't consider myself the right person to maintain piklab.
So, it's alright for me if someone else wants to take over packaging piklab.

Subject: piklab debian package

Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 09:09:01 +0200

Hello,

Today, I wanted to update my experimental piklab debian package¹. However,
in the latest tar.bz2, I see that there is now a debian-directory. Here I
can see that "Stefan von Halenbach" has worked on creating a debian package
for piklab.

This is great news, because I don't consider myself the best person for this
job (I'm not a KDE-user, but find "piklab-prog" very interesting).

To avoid duplicate work, can you explain to bugreport 387703¹ what the
plans are about debian and piklab. If Stefan wants to maintain piklab for
Debian, then the RFP (Request For Packaging) can be renamed to ITP (Intend
To Package).

I'm not completely sure what is the status of the debian packager for
piklab. Stefan used to do it. Then Tom Schouten volonteered to do it
and he made updated packages for piklab 0.14.2

Since then there are no new debian packages for the newer version of
piklab. I am not sure if they are too busy or if they dropped the ball
(or if I should tell them when I make a new release ?). I am sending
copies of this email to them so they can answer these questions.

Also note that Stefan and Tom are both rookies at making debian
packages. It would probably be best if some more knowledgeable person
could at least help them.

Regards,
Nicolas

Hi ! I would love to see Piklab integrated into the debian or ubuntu file 
distribution system, but as Nicolas already said, i don't think that i am the 
right person to do it. I am no developer and there are outstanding bugs with 
the packaging of piklab, which i am unable to resolve.
Lintian nags about use of "rpath" and the manpages (which are already written) 
need to be integrated into the debian rules( if it is not done yet?).

W: piklab: 
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/piklab-hex /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib
W: piklab: 
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/piklab-prog /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib
W: piklab: 
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath ./usr/bin/piklab /usr/lib:/usr/share/qt3/lib

Also the Kde-documentation gets installed into the wrong directory and i can't 
find a solution to solve it.

I made the debianising with piklab to get the ball rolling, and it worked so 
far and i talked with the upstream maintainer (Nicolas) about another 
packager for debian a while ago. Short after that Tom seemed to want to get 
this job. 

That was fine with me, because i did update my system to Feisty Fawn in the 
meantime, which had the newest packages (and hightest dependencys) at that 
time. If Tom don't want to maintain the debian package i would suggest to ask 
Aurelion Jarno, who is responsible for gputils at debian.

Greetings
Stefan

I will try to fix the errors that lintian/linda find. However, building
piklab on my PC (750Mhz) takes a very long time. So, this is very
time-consuming for me. Also, I don't have experience with packaging
"complex" programs like piklab, so I'm not sure if I'm able to fix things.

Also, at the moment the original piklab-tarball contains a debian-directory,
which makes it more difficult to fix things. Nicolas, can you remove the
debian-directory in future releases of piklab? More info about this is
available in the debian-mentors_FAQ¹



[1] <http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html>
What's wrong with upstream shipping a debian/ directory?

There are cases where upstream ships a tarball which already contains a
debian directory. This is undesirable, even if you're upstream yourself or
can commit there. Keep the released tarballs (used as .orig.tar.gz) and the
debian directory separated.

The problem is that at some point, upstream's debian directory will deviate
from the one in the Debian package -- because the maintainer changes, the
directory was already outdated, or someone does an NMU or a security upload.
Because it was The .diff.gz will now be a diff between the two debian dirs,
which is very confusing.

The Debian package format is designed to keep upstream and Debian-specific
neatly separated into orig.tar.gz and .diff.gz. Putting the debian dir in
the .orig.tar.gz confuses this.

If upstream has a debian directory in their releases, you should contact
them and ask if they can remove the debian/ directory from their tarball
releases. There's no need to remove the debian directory from their revision
control system (although if it's out of date they may decide to do so
anyway), but at the very least the directory shouldn't appear in releases.
If you are upstream yourself, well, you can ask yourself to do it.

ok I'll do that for future releases.

Thanks for helping!

Hi!

I'm interested in having piklab in Debian, so I'm seriously thinking about
filing an ITP for it and maintaining it. Are you still interested in it too?
Nicolas, would you like to co-maintain it?

Great!

> Are you still interested in it too?

I don't consider myself the right person to package/maintain piklab, that's
also the reason why I had filled an RFP instead of ITP. So, it's great news
that you want to package/maintain piklab.
