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!

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

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

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?

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:

any idea?

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,

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 ?

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,

 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:

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.

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 !

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?

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.
