Subject: A few problems
Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2007 15:08:46 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
OK, I've taken a quick look at this package and there are a few
problems.

(The "Ubuntu" package mentioned in the RFP is a .deb but it is not
part of Ubuntu and there are serious errors in the packaging of
that .deb) :

1. Nearly all the files in the upstream tarball are executable which is
a PITA and requires a new tarball to be released with only essential
scripts set to executable. (Probably only ./configure.)

2. The package includes loads of XSL that appears to have already been
packaged for Debian and some of that has been modified compared to
upstream. There should be an option supported by ./configure to omit
these files from the 'make install' so that Debian does not have to
carry duplicate XSL files. xmlcopyeditor would then depend on
docbook-xsl and other similar packages that are maintained separately.
If any XSL files remain after these dependencies have been identified,
they can be packaged separately. This may require changes in the
upstream source to use /etc/catalog.xml to locate the correct
stylesheets. (See the datafreedom-qsfxsl package for an example.)
http://packages.debian.org/sid/datafreedom-qsfxsl

3. There are over TWENTY licences claimed within the source! Despite
that, NONE of the source files have any copyright information or any
licence information:
$ sudo apt-get install devscripts
$ licensecheck -r . | grep -c UNKNOWN
111
$ licensecheck -r . | grep -v UNKNOWN
./ltmain.sh: GPL (v2 or later) GENERATED FILE
./src/xmlcopyeditor_private.h: GENERATED FILE

I'm guessing that separating out the XSL from the C++ will mean that
the C++ is under a single licence but that needs to be made explicit,
preferably by specifying the typical copyright and licence header in
every .cpp and .h file:

/***************************************************************************
 *            filename.c
 *
 *  timestamp
 *  Copyright  year  name email

(GPL3 in this example from one of my upstream C projects.)

4. The supported translations are packaged in a non-standard way -
there is no po/ directory, instead arbitrary directories are used to
package the prebuilt messages.mo files. This is a very bad idea as it
prevents translators within Debian from contributing to the translation
effort. The package should use gettext macros and a po/ directory and
package xmlcopyeditor.pot so that translations can be updated and
committed back upstream.

The upstream package is therefore not suitable for Debian at this time.

The final problem is that it requires wxwidgets2.8 when only 2.6 is
currently available in Debian unstable because of various issues - one
of which is the fragility of wxwidgets versions:

So I don't see xmlcopyeditor as a viable candidate for Debian, sorry.
(I don't know if a new release could work with 2.6.)

Hi Neil

Thanks so much for taking the time to look into the package. I have no
experience of packaging for Debian (and limited experience of packaging
for Fedora) so that I'm very grateful for your advice.

My main development platform is Ubuntu and I was hoping to create *.deb
packages rather than *.rpms soon.

1.
Yes, this is a problem that arose because I carried the files from my
Linux to my Windows partition and vice versa. When copying back from
Windows I found all settings randomised and executable permission
missing where it was required. (This also changed line endings to \r\n
which is annoying and breaks several build tools.) Under pressure of
time I applied chmod indiscriminately; hence the current permissions
mess.

As I'm now using sourceforge's subversion system to keep the files I
hope this problem, once addressed, won't recur.

2.
Fair point. On Windows I had no choice in this regard, but I appreciate
that the Linux build shouldn't come with these XSL stylesheets by
default. May I ask where these stylesheets are saved on a standard Linux
system? Libxml can find the system-wide catalog for DTD access, but I
may need to hardcode paths to XSL files.

3.
Again, fair point. All original code is under GPL except where I have
adapted third-party wxWidgets components for my needs (these are under
wx license). I will add license information to the source files asap.

4.
I am happy to add a po directory and group the translation directories
there. That said, the directories used are not random but the ones in
which gettext locates the relevant translation files. There is also an
empty en_US po file for new translations. So far translators have not
expressed concern about the current arrangement.

<The package should use gettext macros> It does. Getting this to work
with wxGTK is a bit tricky for plurals (you will find I had to redefine
one macro to enable string extraction for these), but I think the
mechanism is otherwise sound.

<The upstream package is therefore not suitable for Debian at this
time.>
That is fine; I quite understand.

<The final problem is that it requires wxwidgets2.8 when only 2.6 is
currently available in Debian unstable because of various issues - one
of which is the fragility of wxwidgets versions:>
This is a serious problem less for my project (which I realise is a tiny
niche project and intended to be such) than for wxGTK as a development
platform on Debian Linux.

wxGTK 2.6.3 is quite buggy and terribly out of date. The stable 2.8.x
series fixed many serious bugs and introduced essential functionality
such as a robust docking library and a greatly enhanced visual
components; other libraries available as wrappers in wxGTK (e.g.
Scintilla, wrapped by wxStyledTextCtrl) are updated only in 2.8.x. In
short, 2.6.3 does not offer an acceptable level of functionality for
cross-platform development. (If my project was Linux-only I'd write it
in straight GTK+.)

To be honest I'm not entirely happy even with the level of functionality
offered in 2.8.x but I don't have the time to convert to Qt at this
point in time. In any case I agree with you that 2.8 introduced too many
incompatibilities: adjusting my code base took some time and larger
projects will have had a major job on their hands. Unfortunately this
also means that I can't backport my program to work with the wxGTK 2.6.x
series.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know!

Regards,
Gerald

No problem.

If you want to learn more and would like help with creating a
standard .deb, try the debian-mentors mailing list:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/

and the http://mentors.debian.net website too.

Release early, release often; yes.
Release in haste, repent at leisure? Nah.
:-)

Don't access the files directly, use /etc/catalog.xml and then refer to
the stylesheets using a URI. This may look like network access but you
can use --nonet to remove any possible confusion. The URI is mapped via
the catalogues to a file system location so that you don't have to care
where the files are actually located which removes lots of problems
with your package breaking if the XSL is updated.

Take a look at how my datafreedom-qsfxsl package deals
with /etc/catalog.xml - you can find it via the pilot-qof source
package at SourceForge and at:
http://pilot-qof.cvs.sourceforge.net/pilot-qof/pilot-qof/

>Libxml can find the system-wide catalog for DTD access, but I
> may need to hardcode paths to XSL files.

No, you don't.
:-)

Even if you think you have to, you really don't. libxml2 can work
with /etc/catalog.xml, just as xsltproc does - after all, xsltproc
itself uses libxml2 to do that task.

I've made this mistake myself and once you get your head around calling
XSL as: 
xsltproc --nonet -o tmp/ http://www.data-freedom.org/xsl/pilot-qof-address-vcard1.xsl -
it all starts to make sense. 

(Try it, the URI is a 404 but when the catalog is in place via the .deb
package, it works.)

http://pilot-qof.sourceforge.net/manual/ch02.html#vcard1

To use it via bash etc., you just need:
export XML_CATALOG_FILES="/usr/share/xml/datafreedom/xsl/catalog.xml"

i.e. you specify your own catalog.xml that extends the one in /etc/ and
libxml2 merges the catalogues to provide a mapping to the actual XSL
*and* ensures that XSL stylesheets imported by one xsl are correctly
located.

Excellent.

Not random, no, just arbitrary as in you don't control the actual names
of the translation locales and therefore you are likely to come across
ones that are illegal directory names like st@Ltn.

The line of least surprise is generally the best advice.

OK, gettext can (and does) use plurals but you do need to use gettext
directly rather than glib_gettextize or other macros (I don't know if
wxwidgets has some gettext macro). The problem with gettext is that it
is noisy - it forces you to press Return to confirm what it has done
and therefore it can be awkward to use at the CVS/SVN stage of the
upstream process. Take a look at another of my projects for how that
was handled:
http://gpe-expenses.cvs.sourceforge.net/gpe-expenses/gpe-expenses/

In particular, look at ./autogen.sh and the contents of po/ and po-lib/
(gpe-expenses uses multiple po directories and multiple POT files but
gettext needs one po*/ directory for each, with all the .po files in
the same po*/ directory as the relevant .pot file.)

That makes sense.

As I said in the thread at

this can be fixed by shipping multiple versions, just as several other

Subject: WNPP bug closing
Date: Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:59:43 -0600
Hello,

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

Your RFP 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 RFP 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 435888
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
435888@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>.
