Charlie, since this package is not in Debian, it would be great if we could show it a little love while updating it. For one thing, bump the Standards-Version to 3.8.2, which has recently been uploaded to Debian and Ubuntu. Second, the packaging-related files for this package are rather ugly. It would be great if we could clean these up a little (which might require using a newer debhelper). As a note, you can probably remove the README.debian file, as the debian directory is no longer maintained upstream. Finally, there are a few lintian warnings that we should probably clean up:

W: lyricue source: translated-default-field templates: 3
N:
N: You should not mark as translatable "Default:" or "DefaultChoice:"
N: fields, unless explicitly needed (e.g. default country, default
N: language, etc.). If this Default field really should be translated, you
N: should explain translators how they should translate it by using
N: brackets. For example:
N:
N: _Default: English[ Default language name, but not translated]

If you do not want to do this extra cleanup or do not have the time, please say so, and either I or another developer will try to take care of it.

Thank you for pointing out my short comings in my attempt to upgrade this package. Yes please do, if in your opinion you feel that you will show this package more love than I, then yes by all mean jump in, no offence taken. It's better for the package and better for Ubuntu. Just let me know what you want to do.

version 1.9.10 was just released - It would be better to package that rather than 1.9.9

[Charlie_Smotherman (cjsmo)]

Finally found some time to take care of this. Updated to 1.9.10. Attaching a new .diff.gz and debdiff. I am still getting this from lintian

I: lyricue source: no-complete-debconf-translation
N:
N: Even though this package provides debconf translation support, there are
N: no translations or none of the translations are complete. This may mean
N: that translators weren't properly warned about new strings.
N:
N: Translators may be notified of changes using podebconf-report-po, for
N: example:
N:
N: podebconf-report-po --call --withtranslators --deadline="+10 days" \

N: Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.5.2.2 (Be kind to
N: translators) for details.

N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible

Since this package is not in Debian I am really not sure how to get these translations updated. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Corrected typo

[ChrisDebenham (chris-debenham)]

Lyricue 2.0.0 is now out with a number of fixes (and a new website - www.lyricue.org)

[ChrisDebenham (chris-debenham)]

I am willing to help out with updating the packaging on this if someone can point me to what I need to do

[Charlie_Smotherman (cjsmo)]

Chris,

See the big lintian warning about the translations being incomplete, that is the only thing (that I know of) that is blocking this update. If this package were in Debian I would know how to get the translations updated however this package is not in debian soooo. I am still gathering information on how to do this the ubuntu way. Feel free to jump in if you understand how to get this done. :)

I have mailed the MOTU ml and was provided with little assistance, I have also asked on #ubuntu-motu and #ubuntu-devel to no avail. I have opened Question #80449 in launchpad and hopefully I can get some answers there.

Here is a debdiff between the 1.9.8 in ubuntu and 2.0.0

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

I tried to prepare an updated package (attaching), but there are problems when I try to run lyricue:

DBI connect('mysql:localhost','lyric',...) failed: Access denied for user 'lyric'@'localhost' (using password: NO) at /usr/bin/lyricue line 11212
DBI connect('mysql:localhost','root',...) failed: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) at /usr/bin/lyricue line 10596
ilya
find: `/usr/share/lyricue/images/': No such file or directory
ilya
find: `/usr/share/lyricue/backgrounds/': No such file or directory
Can't call method "disconnect" without a package or object reference at /usr/bin/lyricue line 11220.

Any idea abut what's wrong here?

Maybe we could use the package that Chris provided (and indeed, he would be the best person to maintain it in Ubuntu), but it needs work:

- package should be non-native, there should be no epoch in version number;
- debian/changelog should be Ubuntu changelog, not upstream changelog
- I think mysql-server should be a dependency, not a recommendation (lyricue can't work without it, right?)
- package should not conflict with itself
- there should be a debconf template
- there should be a postrm script
- debian/rules and debian/watch should not use boilerplate
