Hi,

the package dvgrab came up as a candidate for the Bug of the Day[1]
and thus I had a look into this package. I realised that the URL in d/copyright is not valid any more (thus setting the severity of this
bug to important.

Guessing from the version number you pulled the code from some Git
repository. Since Sourceforge mentions CVS I might assume that it
might refer to the repository at Github[2] where some new commits
arrived.

It would be nice if you could provide a watch file which clarifies where
the source was obtained from in code and also fix the d/copyright file featuring a valid URL.

To help you I would be happy to move the packaging to Salsa and if the
Debian VDR Team agrees into this team. Otherwise there is always the
chance of using the Debian team space. I'd volunteer to draft a watch
file (if you confirm that [2] is the source), rewrite d/copyright to
DEP5 and fix the Source URL and update the packaging to latest
standards.

Since I remember there was some misunderstanding when I moved your
package imgvtopgm to Debian Phototools Team I want to make sure this
will not happen again. Please answer to this bug report whether you
are happy about the help to move the package to Salsa. If not I
might send a patch to this bug report but all other changes I would
suggest to modernise this package are better done in Git and I'd
happily provide any help that might be needed.

Kind regards
Andreas.

Hi Christoph,

tracker.debian.org says https://www.kinodv.org/ as homepage of dvgrab.

Yes, I know. But the information in d/copyright is wrong and this is a bug.

And https://www.kinodv.org/ says kino is dead as of 5.8.2013. I don't know
if this is also true of dvgrab. At least we have relative high popcon level. And yes, the github repo you mentioned looks like code for dvgrab, salvaged from sourceforge. But it has no releases, so a watch file would not return any useful information.

That's definitely not true since in gitmode watch files can return the
latest commit. And somehow the version looks pretty much like the
latest commit from "somewhere" (!= the Github repository), If I would
have been sure I would have sent a patch but its simply not clear from
what Git repository source was obtained from.

Anyway it would be a good idea to have the package source in salsa.

Thus my bug report. I wonder whether you consider the VDR team a sensible
team or whether it might be rather multimedia-team.

Kind regards
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,


thank you for pointing out the lack of the watch file. As Christoph
already mentioned it could be difficult, I will see.

I will update the package in the near future. (I already have it on my
list, but the package works and there are no new versions or important
issues, so it's low priority.)

PLEASE DO NOT move the package to Salsa or any team, I will take care of
this issue soon.

Patches are still welcome. :-)


Thanks,

Erik

Hi Andreas,


I had some days to rethink about the topic.

Currently I have some private issues that need my attention, so
realistically I have no time to deal with this bug now and in the near
future.

If you are able to modernize the package, put it on Salsa and move it
into team maintenance, it would be the best for this package.

If it is easy for you, please do so.


Thank you in advance,

Erik

Hopefully these issues are kind of positive or at least solved
in the way you want it get solved.

If it is easy for you, please do so.

It was similar to other packages and I developed some routine (encoded
inside the routine-update package) so it was not a big amount of work.
It is now maintained at

https://salsa.debian.org/vdr-team/dvgrab

I intended to grant you maintainer permissions for this repository
but did not found your name (amongst lots of Eriks on Salsa ;-) )
Just let me know about your Salsa login and I'll add you.

Thank you in advance,

You are perfectly welcome, thank you for your cooperation and
maintaining this package.

Kind regards
Andreas.
