RFS: gnome-specimen
Kartik Mistry
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "gnome-specimen".
* Package name : gnome-specimen
Version : 0.3-1
Upstream Author : Wouter Bolsterlee <wbol...@gnome.org>
* URL : <http://uwstopia.nl/geek/projects/gnome-specimen/>
* License : GPL
Section : gnome
It builds these binary packages:
gnome-specimen - Simple font preview and compare application for Gnome
The package appears to be lintian/linda/pbuilder clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 434250
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-specimen
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-specimen/gnome-specimen_0.3-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Cheers,
--

Just a few notes:
- In the manpage, I would add an article ('a') between "gnome-specimen
is" and "simple tool".
- In the manpage, still, most of the options (especially bonobo activation
and gnome library options) are pretty useless.
- I think you should build depend on python-dev instead of
python-all-dev.
- I don't really know cdbs, but i guess you can either put all your
build dependencies in build-depends or build-depends-indep.
I'm not confortable with sponsoring a package using cdbs, but if nobody
steps in, I will, since I'm very interested in having this in the
archive.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,
First of all, thanks for looking at package!

Done.

Hmm. It is meant for advance user or developer. But, should I keep it
or remove it. I think there is no harm to keep it in manpage.

python-all-dev will make sure that all supported python version are
installed. correct me if I am wrong. python-dev is also ok in our
case.

Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 5), python-central (>= 0.5)
Build-Depends-Indep: intltool, libgconf2-dev, python-dev (>= 2.4)
Right? cdbs, debhelper and python-central are require for clean target.

If you wish, I can convert it to debhelper, no problem :) Let me know,
I will upload corrected package.
Package with changes 1 & 3 are at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-specimen/gnome-specimen_0.3-1.dsc
Thanks again.
Cheers,

Advanced user or developers don't need useless items in a manpage ;)
What use can the --enable-esound flag be in gnome-speciment, for
example ?
For bonobo options, they are common to all gnome applications using
bonobo, do you really think it's necessary to repeat these instructions ?
And I'm not sure the modules loading functionality is of any use...

I got misleaded by overlooking at the code of the resulting package.
Looking again, I see it's only a hack to be able to run modified version
from the source tree. Maybe you should remove that. It's useless in the
installed version, and adds python 2.4 paths even when using python 2.5,
which could have bad side effects.
Anyways, python-gnome2 only comes for python 2.4...

Fair enough.

Let's first see if someone wants to take care of this.

Ok. python-dev as dependency.

Hi,
I am looking for sponsor of this package. I have corrected it
according to Mike's guidance.
Thanks,
