[needs-packaging] cryptote needs packaging

[Qichang Liang]

Cryptote is a light-weight, easy to use GUI text editor which supports encryption.

http://panthema.net/2009/cryptote/

yet it is not in the Ubuntu repository at the moment.

I have just packaged this software for the upcoming 15.04 release, and it is available at this ppa:

https://launchpad.net/~kcleung-users/+archive/ubuntu/cryptote

Please have a look, and help me upload this software to the 15.04 universe repository

Thanks for packaging cryptote and help to make ubuntu better!

The package has quite a lot of issues that needs to be addressed before uploading to ubuntu. I did a first quick pass and encourage you to fix those before subscribing back the ubuntu sponsors:
- debian/copyright doesn't follow DEP5 (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/), please use this as a template.
- the version makes people think that this package is available in debian, which is not the case. Please reference it as 0.5.390-0ubuntuX
(where -0 means "this version wasn't in debian" and ubuntuX == ubuntu+number as you did previously.
- debian/compat is referecing debhelper 5, we tend to rather use debhelper 9 nowdays.
- debian/control references as well debhelper 5 instead of 9
- debian/rules: there are some lintian errors on it, make clean doesn't really clean the package and have some rules missing:
W: cryptote source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 46
W: cryptote source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep
W: cryptote source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch
Please, consider here as well to use debhelper 9 as the rules will be way easier.

debian/rules would be simply something like:
#!/usr/bin/make -f

#DH_VERBOSE=1

%:
    dh $@

and from that, you can read some debhelper documentation if you need to override some default parameters.
* debian/menu is not in use in ubuntu, if you don't intend to upload that package to debian, please remove it.

That's already quite enough for a first look, please get that package updated in the ppa and feel free to resubscribe the sponsoring list!
Thanks :)

However, when I looked at the changeling, it has this order:

cryptote (0.5.390-1ubuntu3) vivid; urgency=low (the one you
inspected last time in my ppa)

 -- Timo Bingmann <email address hidden> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:20:25 +0200

Though none of the previous versions were publicly released.

So for the current version, should I use:

cryptote (0.5.390-0ubuntu3)

or

cryptote (0.5.390-0ubuntu1)

I am very confused

I am going to look into that. I think there is only one binary
package, so there should not be build-indep stuff.

Here is another problem: I want to get cryptote into 15.04 as soon as
possible, but I don't rule out uploading that package in the future.
So what should I do with debian/menu?

And alternatively, do you have power to sponsor new Debian packages?

Thanks!

As you already have to downgrade the version compared to the ppa, please
use: 0.5.390-0ubuntu1.

Keep me posted once you have done a build with this new debian/rules!

You will have to reupload a version to debian anyway, so I would say,
include a .menu once you are uploading that to Debian NEW again? (and
we'll then just sync it up from Debian in Ubuntu)

I have fixed all the problems mentioned, the package passes the lintian test and is uploaded at:

https://launchpad.net/~kcleung-users/+archive/ubuntu/cryptote

Please have a look
