[Kolab-devel] Packaging pykolab for Debian

[Jeroen van Meeuwen (Kolab Systems)]

Hi there,

I would appreciate the help of some Debian packaging experts about the 
following messages I'm getting from lintian, while attempting to package 
pykolab (comments inline);

Now running lintian...
W: pykolab source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
W: pykolab source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 0.4.3-1

^ These I couldn't care less about.

E: pykolab: extended-description-is-empty

^ This one I think I can fix.

E: pykolab: copyright-file-contains-full-gpl-license
E: pykolab: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl

^ I have no clue what this means I should do.

W: pykolab: new-package-should-close-itp-bug

^ This usually is the case...

W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/kolab
W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/kolab-conf
W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/kolab-saslauthd
W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/kolab-test
W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/kolab_parse_telemetry
W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/kolabd
W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/setup-kolab
W: pykolab: binary-without-manpage usr/sbin/wallaced

^ This indeed is a problem, but an upstream problem. I need no help 
with this now.

E: pykolab: dir-or-file-in-var-run var/run/kolab-saslauthd/
E: pykolab: dir-or-file-in-var-run var/run/kolabd/
E: pykolab: dir-or-file-in-var-run var/run/saslauthd/
E: pykolab: dir-or-file-in-var-run var/run/wallaced/

^ These I don't understand. I need directories writeable for non-root 
for writing out the PID file(s). Do I just insert a lintian override 
somewhere?

Finished running lintian.
