Member requirements

The requirements to the members are the following (This is based on the de facto practice and only an tentative one.):

  • interested in maintaining the good IME packages on Debian. (No need to have packages)
  • abide by the Debian Social Contract.

  • willing to work with other people on the IME packaging team.
  • communicate publicly on this ML or BTS of packages. (Along with the social contract #3: "We will not hide problems")
  • Respect and follow the guidelines and best practices

Member guidelines

  • packaging activities
    • use utils package section for the IME main package and its plug-in packages.

      • (Do not use misc.)

    • subscribe to debian-input-method@lists.debian.org to be reachable (main communication channel)

    • use the salsa service to create a Git repository to host your packaging activity under one of the following sites:
      • https://salsa.debian.org/debian (Debian group write accessible by all DD)

        • If this is used, add "Debian Input Method Team"(input-method-team) to each project repository via its side panel: Settings -> Members -> "Share with Group" tab.

      • https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team (Debian Input Method Team site write accessible by all Debian Input Method Team member)

        • If this is used, add "Debian"(debian) to each project repository via its side panel: Settings -> Members -> "Share with Group" tab.

        • In future, the whole projects belonging to this team will be set write accessible by all DD.
    • use git with gbp-buildpackge style archive organization, if possible. ( master + upstream + pristine-tar branches)

      • If branch name choices are different, add debian/gbp.conf file to the package.

      • If possible, use pristine-tar

    • respect contributors who make high quality serious packaging activity.
      • If you only update packages by using uscan mechanism and applying contributed patches, you should ask such a contributor to lead the maintenance. (I know it is hard to find such a contributor.)

  • packaging style
    • dh $@ style (post-dh7) must be used in debian/rules

    • multi-arch support as much as possible.
    • compat=11
    • plugin-executable location coordination:
      • For ibus-family packages, multi-arch-forein plugin-executable programs need to override the default with LIBEXECDIR=/usr/lib/ibus/ (please note there is no arch name)
