Hi Uwe,

while looking at packages for which vcswatch reports problems, I came
across pslib.  First of all, thank you for maintaining both the upstream
project and the Debian package for so many years.

Since nearly all of your other Debian packages are maintained on Salsa,
I wondered whether pslib might simply be an exception because the Debian
packaging lives together with the upstream sources. To make
experimenting easier, I extracted the Debian packaging with

  git filter-repo --path pslib/debian --path-rename pslib/debian/:debian/

and imported the result into a Salsa repository for the Debian package:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pslib

If you find this useful, I'd be happy if you considered using that
repository for the Debian packaging. Of course, if your current workflow
works better for you, please feel free to ignore this.

While reviewing the packaging, I also noticed that debian/copyright
appears to be incomplete, which is why I'm filing this bug report.

I prepared an updated version here:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pslib/-/blob/master/debian/copyright?ref_type=heads

I believe this covers the missing copyright information. The second
paragraph ("Files: src/ps_intern.h ...") is probably just a minor issue
that lrc pointed out and could likely be addressed upstream. The
remaining additions, however, document copyright information that
appears to be missing from the current debian/copyright.

I hope this is helpful.

I would appreciate if you would take over the repository on Salsa as the
Vcs for the packaging of pslib.

Kind regards
   Andreas.

Hi Uwe,

ping?  Just let me know if you are busy with other things and I should rather
do some NMU.

Kind regards
    Andreas.

I had a quick look at it, but had to realize that I need an update
on good packaging. Did you import upstream from sourceforge?

  Uwe

Hi Uwe,

thanks a lot for your quick response.

Its a quite new way to express:  I'd like to care for this package but
everybody is free to contribute.  I'd happily do such a team upload
for this package.  I also verified your other packages

  horizon-eda
  orpie
  pxlib
  sgrep

These seem to profit from Debian Commons as well.  Since it is my goal
to migrate packages to Salsa I'd happily volunteer to migrate these as
well if you agree.  You can inspect recent packaging practice at the
example of these packages and enable other DDs to collaborate easily.

What do you think?

When using gbp import-dscs all source tarballs previously uploaded
to Debian where imported into the repository.  I assume you fetched
these previously from the sourceforge download page.

Kind regards
    Andreas.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
pslib, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1141708@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
