This will be easy to package for me if it uses Lazarus 0.9.22b. If the required LCL version is missing in Intrepid, I'll wait and package this for Jaunty.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Okay, I created the package. But lintian has detected the following problems:
W: ultrastartdx: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/ultrastardx
W: ultrastartdx: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/ultrastartdx/COPYING.txt.gz
W: ultrastartdx: extra-license-file usr/share/ultrastardx/COPYING.txt
W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/FreeSans.ttf also in ttf-freefont
W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf also in ttf-freefont
W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/Vera.ttf also in ttf-bitstream-vera
W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/VeraBd.ttf also in ttf-bitstream-vera
E: ultrastartdx: package-section-games-but-contains-no-game
W: ultrastartdx: copyright-refers-to-versionless-license-file usr/share/common-licenses/GPL
W: ultrastartdx: wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog usr/share/doc/ultrastartdx/ChangeLog.german.txt.gz
Those problems cannot be fixed without modifying the source-code (e.g. rename the fonts, copy the game to /usr/share/games, adding manpages etc.)
The application runs quite well and I found no errors. The deb-package is also correct.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Package is now ready. If the lintian errors about the fonts and the copyright prevent the package from beeing published, I'll modify the original sources that it works.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

You can also use patches to modify the source.

For renaming a simple mv in debian/rules should be enough.

W: ultrastartdx: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/ultrastardx
That is unimportant.

W: ultrastartdx: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/ultrastartdx/COPYING.txt.gz
rm it

W: ultrastartdx: extra-license-file usr/share/ultrastardx/COPYING.txt
rm it

W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/FreeSans.ttf also in ttf-freefont
W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf also in ttf-freefont
W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/Vera.ttf also in ttf-bitstream-vera
W: ultrastartdx: duplicate-font-file usr/share/ultrastardx/fonts/VeraBd.ttf also in ttf-bitstream-vera
Just make the package depend on such font packages. Then rm the fonts in that directory and replace
them with links to the fonts of the font packages.

E: ultrastartdx: package-section-games-but-contains-no-game
Binary has to got to /usr/games

W: ultrastartdx: copyright-refers-to-versionless-license-file usr/share/common-licenses/GPL
Hm, don't fix.

W: ultrastartdx: wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog usr/share/doc/ultrastartdx/ChangeLog.german.txt.gz
rm it.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Don't change the bug status to fix released.
http://wiki.getdeb.net/PackagingGuide/Workflow

Also I don't see the package on the ABS.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Hmm... The package should be available... The E: ultrastartdx: package-section-games-but-contains-no-game error is already fixed, I added an older lintian report, sorry.
I'll add your fixes as soon as possible.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Now I get those lintian messages:
W: ultrastardx: binary-without-manpage usr/games/ultrastardx
=> No manpage needed, I think
W: ultrastardx: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/ultrastardx/COPYING.txt.gz
=> This file cannot be removed because the make install command files then. It is copied into the destination directory.
W: ultrastardx: extra-license-file usr/share/games/ultrastardx/COPYING.txt
=> The same problem
W: ultrastardx: copyright-refers-to-versionless-license-file usr/share/common-licenses/GPL
=> Not important
W: ultrastardx: copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate
=> I haven't checked the whole source to find every license, because the application uses much third-party code like JEDI-SDL, and there is also much code that is Windows or MacOS-Only. But for shure, the code ist GPLv2-compatible.
W: ultrastardx: wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog usr/share/doc/ultrastardx/ChangeLog.german.txt.gz
=> The same problem with wrong-named essential files

I uploaded the new version to ABS for recheck.

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

I see the amd64 .deb is not available on the ABS, but it does build on my system...

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

It compiles successful in my PPA, for Jaunty and for Intrepid too. The logfile: http://abs.getdeb.net/build_log/ultrastardx_1.0.1a-1~getdeb1_2009_39_02_03_1236011967_amd64.log
Maybe retry the AMD64 build on ABS?

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

I have moved the files to the ABS pre build queue to force the rebuild.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Finished and package is available!

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

I commited a new package that fixes most of the lintian warnings. The package has been built successfully on ABS and is now ready to be published.

[João Pinto (joaopinto)]

Christoph,
that seems to be a schroot /dev problem, not an application problem...

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Even after binding the /dev to the schroot/dev the problem exist. But the app runs fine in my real system.

But the following changes need to be done:
* Remove usr/bin directory as it is empty.
* Split the package into ultrastardx (including usr/games) and ultrastardx-data (including usr/share/games)
* Change the revision to 1~getdeb1. You only have to increase it when the package is already published
  on getdeb.net so the new fixed version superseeds the old one.

Thanks.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Done.

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

The package has been built for Intrepid.

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

Published.

Thanks.
