Subject: RFA: cowdancer -- pbuilder running on cowdancer

Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 19:46:13 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

I recently upgraded my laptop to an SSD. I was very impressed with the
new found speed I was experiencing but when I went to reinstall
cowbuilder, I noticed it had fallen out of testing.

I've fixed up some of the issues with the cowdancer package, the source
package for cowbuilder, and uploaded it. It has now migrated back to
testing.

I've moved this package into the pbuilder-maint team, but I'd like to
request an adopter for the cowdancer package, a named person, who will
be able to take care of it going forward.

I mainly work in the Debian Pure Blends area and this saturates my time,
I would not be able to develop cowbuilder or qemubuilder to provide the
new features that may be needed over time, all I can do is keep it from
falling out of the archives and perform simple bug fixes.

The package description is:
 'cowbuilder' command is a wrapper for pbuilder which allows using
 pbuilder-like interface over cowdancer environment.
 .
 pbuilder is a tool for building and testing Debian package inside a clean
 chroot, and cowbuilder allows chroot to be recreated using
 hard-linked copies with copy-on-write, which makes creation and
 destruction of chroots fast.

Thanks,
Iain.

Hi Iain,
I see this RFA has been outstanding for a while now. I have fairly
recently become a Debian Maintainer, although I have been maintaining
the polyml package for half a year now. As a regular user of cowbuilder,
I would be interested in maintaining or co-maintaining cowdancer,
provided you would be ok with me doing so as a mere DM (I've left it as
an RFA rather than changing it to an ITA as I would like your opinion).

Regards,
James

yes, mails/bugs against the wnpp pseudo-package are very much not
forwarded to the package in question.  To solve this, I'm keeping both
the ML and the RFA bug in Cc.

I started maintaining pbuilder before being a DD, while I was "only" a
DM, so don't worry about it :)

By all means, if you would like to maintain cowbuild you are really free
to! :)
Just, I'd like to see some work before giving you commit access to the
repository.
Just do as follow:
1) clone the git repository
2) do some stuff in it (fix bugs, develop something, whatever; I'd
   appreciate fixing bugs ;))
3) ask on the ML to review/merge/cherry-pick you things (for the
   workflow: I prefer a remote where I can pull from, no flying patches
   in the ML)
4) If (it'll be pretty quick, I suppose) I or Iain are happy of your
   work I'll grant you commit access to the repository
5) if you'd like to cut a release, just tell so and either me or Iain
   are happy to sponsor it :)

Well, if you are going to start, please do the retitling and set
yourself as a owner.

I was playing around with adding support for kfreebsd (and then noticed it
was up for adoption). That's nearly done, so I'll send a request to the ML
soon. Then I'll take a look at some of the bugs.

Done above.

Changes:
 cowdancer (0.79) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
   * debian/control:
     - Remove qemu-system Build-Dep, it's clearly useless.
     - Restrict qemubuilder to linux-any architectures.
     - Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.7, no changes needed.
     - Use HTTPS in Vcs-Git
 .
   [ James Clarke ]
   * debian/control:
     - Add myself to Uploaders. (Closes: #802151)
     - Drop unused busybox-static from Build-Depends.
     - Build everything except qemubuilder on Architecture: any
   * Fix open/open64 giving SIGILL on kFreeBSD. (Closes: #647345)
   * tests/016_memleakcheck.c:
     - Check result of opening /proc/self/maps for NULL.
     - Use /proc/<pid>/maps over /proc/self/maps.
       This fixes the test failing on the Hurd, as /proc/self is currently
       always /proc/1.
   * Makefile:
     - Define DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS.
     - Don't build qemubuilder when DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS != "linux".
     - Create tests/log directory if missing
   * qemubuilder.c:
     - Don't hang if child crashes (Closes: #752582)
     - Exit gracefully when missing KERNEL_IMAGE (LP: #1027268)
     - Make kernel halt on panic, rather than hanging
     - Support EXTRAPACKAGES/--extrapackages
     - Specify disk image format for qemu (Closes: #812581)
     - Avoid needless string copy
   * cowbuilder:
     - Don't override --extrapackages (Closes: #606542)
   * cowbuilder.c:
     - Always check for mounts before deleting directories (Closes: #758490)
     - Don't duplicate --debbuildopts (Closes: #754048)
   * tests/log:
     - Remove unnecessary directory
