  2. Hi,

the watch/uscan issue has been fixed with the new watch file in version 467, and the new version uploaded. Here's the uscan report from previous version that successfully finds new version (using new watch file):

There is no 460 tag in the upstream repo, so we have failure here.

In that same folder is 'copyright' that contains all the license info of
'debian/copyright'. The extra license should not be installed.

This can be ignored at this time. Other packaging priorities at present.

Ignore this. It may be a false positive.

I have reopened the RFP.

Please remove the trailing whitespace from 'debian/changelog', 'debian/control'
and 'debian/rules'.

I will retest on next upload.

  2. Hi,

1. I've uploaded build 465, which is also in the upstream repo. 

2. Removed LICENSE from the package.

3. Trailing whitespaces removed from 'debian/changelog', 'debian/control'
and 'debian/rules'.

W: golf source: no-debian-changes
N: 
N:   This non-native package makes no changes to the upstream sources in the
N:   Debian-related files.
N:   
N:   Maybe a mistake was made when the upstream tarball was created, or maybe
N:   this package is really a native package but was built non-native by
N:   mistake.
N:   
N:   Debian packaging is sometimes maintained as part of upstream, but that is
N:   not recommended as best practice. Please make this package native, if the
N:   software is only for Debian. Otherwise, please remove the debian directory
N:   from upstream releases and add it in the Debian packaging.
N:   
N:   Format 1.0 packages are subject to the restriction that the diff cannot
N:   remove files from the debian directory. For Format 3.0 packages, the
N:   debian directory is automatically purged during unpacking.

I: golf source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
N: 
N:   This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a
N:   debian/watch file. This file is used for automatic detection of new
N:   upstream versions by the Debian External Health Status project and other
N:   project infrastructure. If this package is maintained upstream, please
N:   consider adding a debian/watch file to detect new releases.
N:   
N:   If the package is not maintained upstream or if upstream uses a
N:   distribution mechanism that cannot be meaningfully monitored by uscan and
N:   the Debian External Health Status project, please consider adding a
N:   debian/watch file containing only comments documenting the situation.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Upstream source location: debian/watch (Section 4.11) in
N:   the Debian Policy Manual and the uscan(1) manual page for details.

N:   whether they want to install this package, what it contains, and how it
N:   compares to similar packages. One or two lines is normally not enough to
N:   do this.
N: 
N:   Please refer to General guidelines for package descriptions (Section
N:   6.2.1) in the Debian Developer's Reference and The long description

N: 
N:   This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer
N:   recommended. Please consider using the recommended level.
N:   
N:   For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to
N:   specify debhelper-compat (= X) as a Build-Depends in debian/control. You
N:   can also use the debian/compat file or export DH_COMPAT in debian/rules.
N:   
N:   If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is

P: golf source: trailing-whitespace [debian/changelog:3]
N: 
N:   This file contains lines with trailing whitespace characters.
N:   
N:   Whilst often harmless and unsightly, such extra whitespaces can also cause
N:   tools to interpret the whitespace characters literally. The tool diff(1)
N:   does not like them, either. They are best avoided.
N:   
N:   Some of these problems can be hard to track down.
N:   
N:   Whitespace at the end of lines may be removed with the following:
N:   
N:    $ sed -i -e 's@[[:space:]]*$@@g' debian/control debian/changelog
N:   
N:   If you use Emacs, you can also use "M-x wh-cl" (whitespace-cleanup).
N:   
N:   However, if you wish to only remove trailing spaces and leave trailing
N:   tabs (eg. for Makefiles), you can use the following code snippet:
N:   
N:    $ sed -i -e 's@[ ]*$@@g' debian/rules
N:   
N:   To remove empty lines from the end of a file, you can use:
N:   
N:    $ sed -i -e :a -e '/^\n*$/{$d;N;};/\n$/ba' debian/rules

Summary
=======

Looking better.

The files below should not be in the tarball.

golf-build-deps_436.0.0-1_all.deb
golf-build-deps_436.0.0-1_amd64.buildinfo
golf-build-deps_436.0.0-1_amd64.changes

Removing end of line traling whitespace will remove quite a few lintian issues.

Eliminate some or most of the problems and then do a fresh upload. We will then see where we are and continue fixing things from there.

  1. Hi,

Package is looking promising.

A. New packages should have filed an Intent To Package (ITP)[1] bug.

B. 'golf' is not yet in Debian. The 'debian/changelog' for a new package would have a single line such as below.

* Initial release. (Closes:ITP_BUG_NUMBER)

C. This package is for all distributions and not specific to Debian. For this reason it should be a non-native package[2].

  2. Just spotted this. New packages cannot enter the 'stable' distribution. Most new packages target the 'unstable' distribution. After they have then passed testing and 5 days also passes, they will be moved to the 'testing' distribution'.

Note: We are into Debian 13 release freezes and packages take 10 days to pass from 'unstable' to 'testing'.

  3. Hi, 

1. I have created an ITP packaging bug (1103699).

2. The debian/changelog has been updated as per your instruction above (including a reference to the bug #).

3. The package is now non-native.

4. The package has also been made 'unstable'.

The latest dput upload (436.0.0) has all the above fixes.

Best,

Sergio

  4. Hi, for build 459 that's uploaded, I've run sbuild as directed.

1. no-debian-changes
*** Done, debian folder has been removed from upstream source

2. debian-watch-file-is-missing
*** Done, added watch file

3. extended-description-is-probably-too-short
*** Done

4. extra-license-file [usr/lib/golf/LICENSE]
*** LICENSE file removal would raise some legal concerns. If it matches exactly the license specified in debian/copyright, I think it should stay, since not every user may see the copyright file, or have access to it, and every legal concern in common law (at least in the US), rests on the concept of "reasonableness". Removing LICENSE file may be a bit murky in this regard.

5. file-references-package-build-path 
**** Golf uses -rpath (effectively RUNPATH since --enable-new-dtags has been default for some time), and only for the exact same paths installed in debian package. This means it's never dependent on any paths specific to any environment. Path are searched after LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so flexibility is still there. Use of -rpath in this manner makes for rock solid library discovery. This is tested in countless teardown environments for various Linux distros.

6. hardening-no-bindnow 
**** This is done with use of -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now. You can see it, for instance:
readelf -d /usr/bin/mgrg |grep BIND
 0x000000000000001e (FLAGS)              BIND_NOW
It is unclear why is lintian warning still there.

7. out-of-date-standards-version 4.7.0 (released 2024-04-07) (current is 4.7.2)
**** Done

8. package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc 
*** Done

9. typo-in-manual-page ....
*** Done

10. hardening-no-fortify-functions
*** Golf is memory safe, yet high performance, which is one of its main points, and for that reason no fortification is used in release code. It is used in testing (DI=1 flag for make), and Valgrind and Google ASAN are used as well.
