Actions made to correct bugs

This page has been written to have a trace about the correction of the packages I have done yet.

#245633: wrong text for a .desktop file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-gtk/+bug/245633 add also some french translation to it and remove deprecated/wrong key in the .desktop

• Place the bug status to "in progress" and assigned to me
• Get the source and had a look at it.

As the file to correct is at the root of the source, I had to patch the package.

• The original maintainer was a Debian one, so I changed the debian/control file:

Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <[email protected]>
XSBC-Original-Maintainer: ...

• used dpatch (as the original maintainer use it) and runned dpatch-edit-patch 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch

  • - vim the right file and change the content of it. Then exit 0 - vim 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch to change the first lines (DP field to give a description of the patch)

(if multiple lines add ## DP: at the begining of each line)

• - add 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch to debian/patches/00list

• run dch -i to update the debian/changelog file and added (LP: #245633)

bzr-gtk (0.94.0-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * add 04-change-menu-entry.dpatch to fix name, add french translation and
    remove some deprecated keys in olive-gtk.desktop (LP: #245633)

s

• Finally: debdiff bzr-gtk_0.94.0-1.dsc bzr-gtk_0.94.0-1ubuntu1.dsc > debdiff

• build the package for a try: sudo pbuilder build bzr-gtk_0.94.0-1ubuntu1.dsc

  • - the .deb is in /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ - install in a VM

• run desktop-file-validate olive-gtk.desktop to validate the desktop file

  • Attach the debdiff to the bug report, place it back to "confirmed" status and assigned to nobody, subscribe u-u-s
  • Send a mail to upstream
