Boot-Repair is a little GUI to easily restore access to operating systems (reinstall GRUB bootloader, restore MBR, repare filesystems...) Homepage: https://launchpad.net/boot-repair
Hi! I'd be interested in having this in Debian unstable soon, so how's the current status of these ITPs? Do you still have interest in doing the job? If you need help to handling the packaging or a mere sponsor, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope to hear from you soon, cheers!
2011/11/2, Alessio Treglia <alessio@debian.org>: Yes I still have interest in packaging it for Debian but I need help. I use a software (LaunchBash) to do packaging for Ubuntu and upload to PPA, but I don't know how to package for Debian, your help would be much appreciated. Boot-Repair needs 3 packages : boot-repair , boot-repair-common and clean-ubiquity-common . Their sources can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/boot-repair/+packages . They are made of Bash scripts, so i guess packaging should be quite simple? Best regards Yann , Boot-Repair & OS-Uninstaller developer
2011/11/5, yannubuntu@gmail.com <yannubuntu@gmail.com>: Quick update: I am still failing to package for Debian (but succeed to create Precise packages in the PPA). For information, the ITP for clean-ubiquity-common is 637075, so the 3 packages needed for the software are: 636977, 637074, and 637075 Regards Yann
Hi, I'm on holiday now, I'll come back home tomorrow and let you know soon. Cheers!
dear all, updated GIT tree: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/boot-repair.git I still need help to create Debian&Ubuntu packagings. Regards, and best wishes for this end of year :) Yann
Hello Alessio, 2011/12/28 Alessio Treglia <alessio@debian.org> ok thanks ! DONE. The merged setup.py , and the 5 LISTS are at the root of the GIT ( http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/boot-repair.git;a=tree ) Please note that there are now 5 binaries, not 3. *** In the meantime, I had a try for separate packaging, which gave me the following: http://mentors.debian.net/package/boot-repair http://mentors.debian.net/package/clean http://mentors.debian.net/package/clean-gui http://mentors.debian.net/package/clean-ubiquity http://mentors.debian.net/package/os-uninstaller I don't know what the errors (in the "QA information" zone) mean. I also don't know how to solve the "A watch file is not present" warning. *** For information: when I packaged via debuild -us -uc, Lintian was clean, but i saw the following warning: dpkg-deb: warning: 'debian/clean/DEBIAN/control' contains user-defined field 'Python-Version' any idea? *** Regards Yann
Happy new year ! I disabled the update from PPA, removed the setup.py, created the packages.install files, moved data to debian/tmp and changed the rule to %: dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp See http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/boot-repair.git But now I get this error when i try to package: dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read files list file: No such file or directory dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2 debuild: fatal error at line 1348: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc failed any idea? Regards

Sorry, ignore my previous message. On your Git repository, there's only one branch called master, containing the debian folder. Please read on how to use git-buildpackage. Just FYI, you should use 2 branches, one for your upstream code, and one containing that + the debian folder, so that one can use "git-buildpackage". Cheers, Thomas
i read the git-buildpackage man, but i'm sorry i don't understand what to change in the GIT, nor how to create a 2nd branch in it. Maybe this is something that only the GIT owner (Alessio) can change ? Regards Yann
A quick howto, from back of my head. By the way, what alessio has to do with all this? # Initialize a new Git repo with upstream sources mkdir boot-repair cd boot-repair tar -xvzf ../boot-repair_<version>.orig.tar.gz mv boot-repair-<version>/* . rmdir boot-repair-<version> git init git add * git commit -a -m "Added initial upstream sources v<version>" # Add the debian dir in a new branch git checkout -b debian echo "[DEFAULT] upstream-branch = master debian-branch = debian [git-buildpackage] export-dir = ../build-area/" >debian/gbp.conf [ ... add all your files in the debian folder ...] git add debian git commit -a -m "Added initial debian folder" # Now you can build git-buildpackage I hope that helps, cheers, Thomas
Dear all, does somebody know an example of package using dh_install ? (the one in manpage is not explicit enough for me). Thanks Thomas for your help. By the way, what alessio has to do with all this? He helped for the packaging preparation ( created the GIT, and improved several files in the debian folder). DONE, and pushed. ( http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/boot-repair.git ) DONE but when i push, i don't see where this branch is in the GIT !? this gives me errors: $ git-buildpackage dh_install gbp:error: You have uncommitted changes in your source tree: gbp:error: # On branch debian # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # debian/boot-repair.debhelper.log # debian/boot-repair/ # debian/clean-gui.debhelper.log # debian/clean-gui/ # debian/clean-ubiquity.debhelper.log # debian/clean-ubiquity/ # debian/clean.debhelper.log # debian/clean/ # debian/os-uninstaller.debhelper.log # debian/os-uninstaller/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) gbp:error: Use --git-ignore-new to ignore. Regards Yann
At this address, there's only one unique (master) branch. You didn't upload a debian branch. Thomas
Hello I updated sources, taking into account all comments from reviews. Now my problem is how to use dh_install . I would be happy if someone knowing dh_install packaging could help on this. As long as there is no solution with dh_install, i will use the only packaging solution i know (setup.py) to update http://mentors.debian.net/ , and propose for upload. Regards Yann
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "boot-repair". * Package name : boot-repair Version : 3.04 Upstream Author : Yann Mrn (yannubuntu@gmail.com) * URL : https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ * License : GPLv3 Section : admin It builds those binary packages: boot-repair - Graphical tool to repair boot problems boot-sav - Librairies for Clean-Ubiquity, OS-uninstaller & Boot-repair boot-sav-gui - Librairies for OS-uninstaller and Boot-repair clean-ubiquity - Make the Ubiquity installer safer os-uninstaller - Operating System Uninstaller To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/boot-repair Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/boot-repair/boot-repair_3.04.dsc I took into account all remarks from last reviews: - fixed /usr/share/clean (became /usr/share/boot-sav) - fixed (removed) self-update - fixed "X: boot-repair source: python-depends-but-no-python-helper boot-repair"... - fixed "temporary files created in an insecure way." (now uses mktemp) - fixed the packaging in order to group the 5 binary packages (via .install files) Package is lintian (--pedantic -E -i -I) clean. I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards, Yann MRN

Hello Alessio, The GIT seems to be down, so i just continue updating the http://mentors.debian.net/package/boot-repair Yesterday i set the packaging to "non-native", as i am now working on Fedora and OpenSuse packaging too. Of course, i made the according changes, so that it is still lintian -E --pedantic clean. My priority is integration in Debian and Precise, so please give me news ! Regards Yann
(the 2012/2/22 yannubuntu@gmail.com <yannubuntu@gmail.com> Hello Alessio, any news? There is now Precise beta freeze, should i directly ask Feature Freeze Exception ? Regards Yann
Hi Alessio, Fabrice (another MOTU) is ok to upload Boot-Repair if you agree: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/806291/comments/30 Please could you add a comment? Regards Yann
Done, and sorry for the delay. I'm very busy now, if anyone won't sponsor boot-repair I'll do my best to get back to work on this at least in time for Wheezy. Cheers.
retitle 636977 RFP: boot-repair -- Simple tool to repair boot problems noowner 636977 tag 636977 - pending thanks Hi, A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging boot-repair. Unfortunately, it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging the software. This is an automatic email to change the status of boot-repair back from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 14 months. If you are still interested in packaging boot-repair, please send a mail to <control@bugs.debian.org> with: retitle 636977 ITP: boot-repair -- Simple tool to repair boot problems owner 636977 ! thanks It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing <636977@bugs.debian.org>. If you need guidance on how to package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list. Thank you for your interest in Debian,
Hi Yann and Alessio, I just stumbled upon boot-repair as one of my coworkers used it to fix a Linux installation on a dual boot system. I see that the collab-maint git repository at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/boot-repair.git still exists, but hasn't been updated for several years. On the other hand https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/boot-repair/+packages seems to be uptodate. Is there still interest to bring boot-repair to Debian? Regards, Axel
Bella, I started to review the packaging quite a long ago, and afterwards I have lost interest. So Axel, please do take it under your wing if you like, I'd be more than happy to see it entering main. Cheers!
Let me know if you need action or information from me. regards Yann 2015-04-10 16:20 GMT+02:00 Alessio Treglia <alessio@debian.org>:

finding it difficult to send from the boot repair disc to an usb stick to down load linux os and use it to boot computer. Thanks for your understanding
Hi! I have interest in packaging boot-repair, as it helped to save my own dual-boot. I started to repackage it, but I became unsure about whether I should. It is a maintained PPA, and so it already has a functional control file. I wasn't sure what I should put as (for instance) the "maintainer". This is my first package for debian, so guidance would be appreciated.
