[needs-packaging] cdemu

[Jonathan Marsaud]

CDemu is a software suite designed to emulate an optical drive+disc (CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs etc.)

CDEmu consists of:
    * a kernel module implementing a virtual SCSI host bus adapter,
    * libmirage which is a software library for interpreting optical disc images,
    * a daemon which emulates the functionality of a SCSI optical drive+disc,
    * textmode and GTK clients for controlling the emulator.

Can you upload it to REVU too? I don't have a login for mentors.debian.net

Bumping back to 'Triaged' until then.

[Henrik S. (henrik-hw0)]

Hi! I'm one of the developers on the CDEmu project.

I'm pleased to say that we've put up a brand new version of CDEmu (many thanks to Rok for hard work) and I have prepared buildscripts for ubuntu and packages for ubuntu 7.10 (i386), which can be found on this URL:
http://kabelkaos.net/cdemu/ubuntu/

How do I go about requesting maintainership over the DEB packaging?

[TomasHnyk (sup)]

You can (and I think you should) upload your packages to REVU, see the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU
As for the maintainership, I am not sure, but you would have to become a MOTU for it (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU)

[Henrik S. (henrik-hw0)]

Right. Packages have been uploaded to REVU.
I've also uploaded them to my PPA, but as many others have experienced I have problems deleting my files, so I can't recompile the packages. *sigh*

[Henrik S. (henrik-hw0)]

Uploaded new upstream release for intrepid.
Who do I bribe to get it advocated ASAP? ;)

[Henrik S. (henrik-hw0)]

Allright REVU links are as follows:

http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=cdemu-daemon
http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=cdemu-client
http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=gcdemu
http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=vhba-module
http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=libmirage

The packaging should be pretty much perfect by now.
Hope it makes Intrepid.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Your packages didn't reach Intrepid archives in time before Feature Freeze. Unsubscribing u-u-s for now.

[Ernst (ernst-blaauw)]

I'm running Lucid Alpha now, and still no cdemu. I would really like to see this piece of software hitting the repo's, as there is no comparable program available. Is there a possibility cdemu and gcdemu will be added to Lucid?

[Henrik S. (henrik-hw0)]

I've lost interest, if anyone else wants to push the packages they are welcome to do so.

There's updated package scripts in the subversion repository.

[Peter-Alexander (pp78)]

Recently was a new ubuntu release. Now they are open for new software packages. It's a good time to resubmit it now.

Any progress?
