[Pkg-mono-devel] Help on packaging galaxium

[David Paleino]

Hi all,
I'm packaging galaxium (ITP #476959), a CLI IM messenger (currently supports
only MSN, but previously it also supported IRC and other protocols -- which
were disabled because too "unstable").
You can have a look at pkg-cli-apps/packages/galaxium.
It successfully compiles, but when I run dh_makeclilibs and dh_clideps, I get:

> dh_makeclilibs: Warning! No Build-Depends(-Indep) on cli-common-dev (>= 0.4.4)!

This isn't true, as you can see in debian/control (it *is* in Build-Depends!)

> dh_makeclilibs: debian/galaxium/usr/lib/galaxium/Galaxium.Protocol.dll has no valid signature, ignoring

I don't really know how to fix this.
Should I contact upstream? Should I sign those assemblies myself? If yes,
how? (I didn't find much in the CLI policy...)

Again as before: what to do here?


Also: the upstream source tarball ships some .dll's:

$ ls -1 dlls/
agsXMPP.dll
Dependencies.txt
Makefile.am
Mono.Nat.dll
Mono.Nat.license.txt
ProxySocket.dll
ProxySocket.license.txt
$

Debian (and me as well) is usually against using "embedded copies" of code --
I've contacted upstream to have the original sources for those assemblies.
Obviously, I will package all those dlls as separate packages (if they aren't
already there).

Thanks for any help,
David
