Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org

Hi,

I am looking for a sponsor for my packages "astromenace" and "astromenace-data".

Basic information:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/astromenace
http://mentors.debian.net/package/astromenace-data

Direct links for download:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/a/astromenace/astromenace_1.3.1+ds-1.dsc
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/a/astromenace-data/astromenace-data_1.3.1+ds-1.dsc

Git repos:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/astromenace.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/astromenace-data.git

AstroMenace is an astonishing hardcore scroll-shooter where brave space
warriors may find a great opportunity to hone their combat skills.
Gather money during the battle to spend them on turning your spaceship
into an ultimate weapon of mass destruction and give hell to swarms of
adversaries. Enjoy the wonderfully crafted 3d graphics and high-quality
special effects along with a detailed difficulty adjustment and a handy
interface of AstroMenace.

Package with data files is separated due to license issues: it includes
precompiled 3D models under CC-BY-SA-3.0.

More information about the game:
http://www.viewizard.com/astromenace/

I would be glad if someone uploaded these packages for me.

Best regards,
Boris

IANADD, but here's a list of things that I encountered while testing
out your package.

- Since you use xz compression, please consider adding Pre-Depends:
dpkg (>= 1.15.6) to debian/control (i.e. lintian tag
data.tar.xz-member-without-dpkg-pre-depends, which I think has been
recently removed). This is more of a pedantic issue than something
strictly necessary, but it does help backporters.
- Another pedantic issue: there are 2 commas in a row in your
build-depends list for astromenace-data (i.e. debhelper (>=
9),,fonts-liberation...).
- Dmitry Smirnov is listed as an Uploader for astromenace but not for
astromenace-data; is this intended?
- Please make astromenace depend on astromenace-data, not just
recommends (and have astromenace-data recommends/suggests
astromenace), as is the norm for packages which depend on a separate
-data package.
- astromenace-data FTBFS when built twice in a row:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -sa
dpkg-buildpackage: source package astromenace-data

Thanks a lot for a review.

Yes, I am aware of this lintian note, but I ignore it because:
1) It is useless for new packages.
2) "Pre-Depends should be used sparingly, preferably only by packages whose
premature upgrade or installation would hamper the ability of the system
to continue with any upgrade that might be in progress.

You should not specify a Pre-Depends entry for a package before this has
been discussed on the debian-devel mailing list and a consensus about
doing that has been reached." [1]

There is dpkg verison 1.15.8.13 in Debian Squeeze:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/dpkg
Older releases are not supported.

Thanks. I'll fix it ASAP. Hope it will be today, because since tomorrow I
will be on vacation during two weeks.

I am not sure that he want to co-maintain it. But he could add or remove
himself from uploaders list at any moment. Dmitry, could you comment this?

This is bad idea because astromenace-data has build dependency from
astromenace and it FTBFS if astromenace depends from it. (Circular
dependencies.) So it should stay as is, at least for a first iteration.

Hmm, I missed this. Thanks. Will be fixed.

Best regards,

Perhaps it was me who ignored this lintian warning first. :)
This warning doesn't make sense for Debain any more.
I completely agree with Boris on this.

Boris picked up the packaging where I left it. In the beginning both packages
[astromenace,astromenace-data] were generated from single source. It was good
enough as proof of concept. I was not following on development since Boris
continued it but I trust Boris and I'm sure he knows what he is doing. :)

As the moment I have other priorities so I can't co-maintain astromenace-data
yet. I'd probably stay a bit longer as astromenace uploader until I decide
whenever remove or add myself as uploader of astromenace-data.

Thanks, Boris.
Thanks Vincent.

Cheers,
Dmitry.
