• How to contribute ?

    From Maxime Lombard@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 21 20:10:01 2021
    Hello,

    I'm an user of Debian since 10 years ago and it's only now that i decide to help to packaging.
    I send this email about wine and wine-development package which are not
    updated since a very long time.

    The last wine stable version on Sid is the 5.0 and development version is 6.0+repack. Currently, the wine source code is frozen and the new stable version 7.0 will release next month.
    I sent email to Michael Gilbert (without answer from him) and open a
    bug report recently to update package.

    Same thing with vkd3d package 1.2 which is still in "experimental" since a
    long time too.
    I think it's not in Unstable because the test fail with mesa-vulkan-driver
    = 21 (see changelog)
    I open a bug report upstream about this failure (see
    https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52248). Is it possible to build the package without to do test (set --disable-tests to configure) ?

    Nowadays, the last package of wine-development was uploaded ~6 months ago.
    More bugs report opened the last months have no answer from Maintainer
    (999753, 995580), same thing with vkd3d bug (994186, 993570)

    I packaged myself vkd3d 1.2-7 and wine-development 7.0~rc2 and all works correctly.
    I updated debian folder for wine to prepare the next Stable version.

    My question is, how to contribute and hope to have updated version of this package in Debian since I am a novice ?

    Thanks for your answer,
    Maxime

    Normally you should contact the maintainers if you want to help
    maintaining some packages.

    Nowadays, the last package of wine-development was uploaded ~6 months ago. More bugs report opened the last months have no answer from Maintainer (999753, 995580), same thing with vkd3d bug (994186, 993570)
    Unless all maintainers are MIA you can't really do anything except making
    NMUs for things that are allowed in NMUs, or sending your work to the maintainers hoping they will use it.
    There is also https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging
    but I wouldn't recommend it when packages are complex and you don't have
    enough experience with packaging and contributing yet. You may be able to
    find other would-be-maintainers though.

    https://www.debian.org/devel/join/ should help as a general introduction
    on how to contribute.

    Assuming you built your updated wine package by getting the existing
    wine packages and updating them for the new upstream version (your mail suggests that, but I'm not sure), you have a few options.

    First, you can send a patch to the Debian BTS. The easiest way to
    accomplish this is by way of the "debdiff" program in the "devscripts"
    package; see its man page for details. Alternatively, you can publish
    your build directory in a git repository somewhere, possibly on salsa.debian.org, and let the wine developers (who gather on the debian-wine@lists.debian.org mailinglist) know.

    If you don't get any feedback from the wine maintainers, you should
    probably contact the debian mentors mailinglist (link on the join page
    above) to request more help.

    Hope this helps,

    I opened a bug report upstream and wine/vkd3d developer told me that there
    is this issue because of nobody has the same GPU (someone can have the
    error and someone else not)
    The tests shouldn't access the GPU though so it shouldn't depend on actual hardware.

    The question is :
    It is possible to don't make the test to package the app ?
    it's possible to pass "--disable-tests" as argument for configure.
    You should disable only the tests that are flaky, not all of them.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your answer. I'll take a look after my new year vacation.

    Just a question about a package which block the new version of Wine integration.

    vkd3d 1.2-6 in Experimental is not usable in Sid because it needs mesa-vulkan-driver << 21.

    Michael did that because vkd3d tests fails during building. I don't know
    why because it fails with mesa 20 too.

    I opened a bug report upstream and wine/vkd3d developer told me that there
    is this issue because of nobody has the same GPU (someone can have the
    error and someone else not)

    The question is :
    It is possible to don't make the test to package the app ?
    it's possible to pass "--disable-tests" as argument for configure.

    Thanks,

    OK, if the tests need access to actual hardware then they must be turned
    off during the package build process.
    (though of course tests for code that needs hardware don't necessarily
    need hardware too)

    Hi,

    Hello,

    I'm an user of Debian since 10 years ago and it's only now that i decide to help to packaging.
    I send this email about wine and wine-development package which are not updated since a very long time.

    The last wine stable version on Sid is the 5.0 and development version is 6.0+repack. Currently, the wine source code is frozen and the new stable version 7.0 will release next month.
    I sent email to Michael Gilbert (without answer from him) and open a bug report recently to update package.

    Same thing with vkd3d package 1.2 which is still in "experimental" since a long time too.
    I think it's not in Unstable because the test fail with mesa-vulkan-driver >= 21 (see changelog)
    I open a bug report upstream about this failure (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52248). Is it possible to build the package without to do test (set --disable-tests to configure) ?

    Nowadays, the last package of wine-development was uploaded ~6 months ago. More bugs report opened the last months have no answer from Maintainer (999753, 995580), same thing with vkd3d bug (994186, 993570)

    I packaged myself vkd3d 1.2-7 and wine-development 7.0~rc2 and all works correctly.
    I updated debian folder for wine to prepare the next Stable version.

    My question is, how to contribute and hope to have updated version of this package in Debian since I am a novice ?

    Thanks for your answer,
    Maxime

    Yes, there are some packages that haven't been updated for a while.
    One of them is the retroarch that next year completes its second without updates and the chromium.
    And I believe it is open to anyone who wants to contribute.
    There are some processes such as ITS, NMU, QA (orphan packages) and team
    upload (for packages kept in teams where it is necessary to work with
    someone on the team or be part of the team).

    I usually help with QA work and team uploads. But I did deal with ITS once.

    Full reference on this. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#managing-packages
    https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp
    https://wiki.debian.org/WNPP
    https://wnpp.debian.net

    I remember thinking that it was necessary to be a DM or DD to
    contribute to Debian
    and over time I realized I was wrong.

    Happy 2022! ;)

  • From Maxime Lombard@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 1 14:20:02 2022
    Hi guys,

    Thanks for your answers.
    I have an other question about Wine source.

    Since wine-6.20, some librairies are included in wine source like jpeg/faudio/xml2/zlib and others (see https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/tree/HEAD:/libs) to be used as PE (mingw) build-dep.
    If i read the Upstream Guide, it's not possible to include third party code (https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide#No_inclusion_of_third_party_code)
    So the question is, do i need to create package for all these build as
    PE package like libz-mingw-w64 OR i can preserve these 3rd-party code ?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I'm an user of Debian since 10 years ago and it's only now that i
    decide to help to packaging.
    I send this email about wine and wine-development package which are not updated since a very long time.

    The last wine stable version on Sid is the 5.0 and development version
    is 6.0+repack. Currently, the wine source code is frozen and the new stable version 7.0 will release next month.
    I sent email to Michael Gilbert (without answer from him) and open
    a bug report recently to update package.

    Same thing with vkd3d package 1.2 which is still in "experimental"
    since a long time too.
    I think it's not in Unstable because the test fail with
    mesa-vulkan-driver >= 21 (see changelog)
    I open a bug report upstream about this failure (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52248). Is it possible to build
    the package without to do test (set --disable-tests to configure) ?

    Nowadays, the last package of wine-development was uploaded ~6 months
    ago. More bugs report opened the last months have no answer from Maintainer (999753, 995580), same thing with vkd3d bug (994186, 993570)

    I packaged myself vkd3d 1.2-7 and wine-development 7.0~rc2 and all
    works correctly.
    I updated debian folder for wine to prepare the next Stable version.

    My question is, how to contribute and hope to have updated version of
    this package in Debian since I am a novice ?

    Thanks for your answer,
    Maxime
    Yes, there are some packages that haven't been updated for a while.
    One of them is the retroarch that next year completes its second without updates and the chromium.
    And I believe it is open to anyone who wants to contribute.
    There are some processes such as ITS, NMU, QA (orphan packages) and team upload (for packages kept in teams where it is necessary to work with someone on the team or be part of the team).

    I usually help with QA work and team uploads. But I did deal with ITS
    once.

    Full reference on this.

    https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#managing-packages
    https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp
    https://wiki.debian.org/WNPP
    https://wnpp.debian.net

    I remember thinking that it was necessary to be a DM or DD to
    contribute to Debian
    and over time I realized I was wrong.

    I also contributing for 7 years only via git (alioth and salsa) without
    being DM but in some cases as I have seen recently with debian-cinnamon packages where when this year in the team there was some months with no
    DD/DM (with upload permission) active it was difficult to find someone
    who sponsored the uploads (with the major versions there are up to 15-16 components to be uploaded at the same time) the work prepared took up to
    a month to be uploaded (now the problem has just been solved)

    @Maxime: So probably if you start contributing regularly I think it is
    better that you start creating an account on https://nm.debian.org/ and create a gpg key with which to sign the work done to speed up a possible transition to DM in the future if situations such as mine will happen (moreover in a period with particular other unforeseen events, including above all the coronavirus that complicate things)

    about disabling tests try to add an override to debian/rules:

    override_dh_auto_test:
    : # disable it
    In any case big thanks for your help improving/updating packages, wine I
    had already seen that it would need help and it would be useful to also
    have the latest stable versions in the backports (only if there is
    really enough time after updating / improving the packages) but
    unfortunately I don't have enough time to contribute to those too


    Happy 2022! ;)

    OK, if the tests need access to actual hardware then they must be turned
    off during the package build process.
    (though of course tests for code that needs hardware don't necessarily
    need hardware too)


    Is there a codified set of guidelines for what a test can and can't do?

    In theory we can also run our tests with a software renderer; I haven't
    tried to do that yet (and the only available Vulkan software renderer
    does not work very well yet) but if that's acceptable it seems better
    than skipping them entirely.

    A build time test can do only what a package build process can do, which,

    For what it's worth, we don't exactly rely on the presence of specific hardware. We run the tests with whatever GPU is available, and should
    skip them if none is.

    There are test failures because of subtle differences in the hardware,
    or driver versions. Ideally our tests should pass on all hardware and
    drivers, but that's hard if not impossible to guarantee.

    If it makes a difference I can provide a patch that will let the tests
    pass on Debian hardware.
