Re: New upstream package: openbravo-3

 

Hi Brian,

Sorry for the delay in the answer, we were very busy with the launch
of Openbravo 3 (RC4), which is a significant milestone in our product
roadmap.

It has been our pleasure to work with you, Canonical and Ubuntu.

Going to details:

> * It seems you still embed jquery.js.  Any chance I can nudge you to using the packaged version in our archive instead? (the same for dojo and dijit)

Unfortunately no, because we need very specific versions that we
update in every minor release. The situation here hasn't changed
compared to our previous major version.

> * There are many empty dirs in the package which IIRC goes back to your method of copying files over from one place to another.  Is this correct?  I would really like to discuss this again.

Yes, that's correct. The root cause is the same as in 2.50: Openbravo
cannot delegate the updates to apt, this is why we must do this.

> * We are trying to move init scripts to upstart scripts.  Would you be opposed to doing this?

We don't have any impediments, the only thing is that the packages in
which we depend on (Apache, Tomcat and Postgres) still don't use it in
natty. We'd prefer to move to upstart once they do it, to avoid any
possible inconsistencies.

> * There are numerous files in the package in both compressed and uncompressed form.  One or the other should likely be removed.

Could you send us a list of the files? So that we can evaluate them.

> Type=Link
> URL=http://www.kde.org/

We have tried to use Type=Link but it doesn't work. We have placed
your example into /usr/share/applications and also don't appear in the
menu.
Are we missing anything?

> * Lintian overrides (debian/openbravo-3.lintian-overrides) should be added for the remainder of items (and commented on as to why the override is being added) in the lintian output that aren't actually problems. i.e. dir-or-file-in-opt, script-not-executable, extra-license-file, unknown-section, etc...

Ok, done.

Regards,
Gorka
