[Bug 1594585] Re: [needs packaging] budgie-wallpapers

[Jeremy Bicha]

Hi, I took a look at this and there are some issues.

First, the version number for an Ubuntu package is wrong. I would suggest you follow Ubuntu's example and use 16.04.0-0ubuntu1.
- The 16.04 is because you wrote in your intro that these are actually the xenial wallpapers.
- The .0 is because you cannot change the original tarball but have to use a different version number each time. -1 would be the first Debian release. -2 would be the 2nd. -0ubuntu1 is a Ubuntu package where there wasn't a Debian release for that version or the Debian release wasn't used.

Second and most importantly, according to your debian/copyright, you
have images which are *not* redistributable in Ubuntu. You cannot use
any Creative Commons *Non-Commercial* license.

The Debian wiki is unclear about the status of CC version 2 licenses.
Versions 3 and 4 are fine. Version 1 is not. It's commonly believed in
Debian that the version 2 licenses aren't good enough. See bug 1588938
for instance where the Debian maintainers reported the issue to GNOME
developers who replaced the version 2 pictures.

Therefore, I recommend you try to find images that don't use CC version
2 licenses either just to be safe and it would be a huge headache to try
to replace them once they are in use on people's computers.

Third, I recommend you look at the ubuntu-wallpapers packaging how they
have separate packages for each Ubuntu release. So Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial)
users have ubuntu-wallpapers installed which depends on ubuntu-
wallpapers-xenial. If they upgraded from 15.10, they'll also have
ubuntu-wallpapers-wily installed. They can optionally install wallpapers
from any or all releases going back to karmic.

Fourth, in your .xml.in files you can use spaces in the name field. The
name is for wallpaper choosers that show a name for each photo. The
names are in that file so translators can translate them into other
languages.

I'm unsubscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors. Feel free to re-subscribe -sponsors
when you're ready for sponsorship again.

Title:
  [needs packaging] budgie-wallpapers

Status in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As part of applying for official status for "Ubuntu Budgie", the
  technical board has requested that the team add our packages to the
  Ubuntu repos (universe).

  "Ubuntu Budgie" will initially consist of eight 16.10 packages listed
  here in the PPA description

   - https://launchpad.net/~budgie-remix/+archive/ubuntu/yakkety-
  proposed

  budgie-wallpapers contains the wallpapers for Ubuntu Budgie.  This is
  a Ubuntu only package and is not appropriate for wider distribution
  through Debian.

  The package is based upon the same structure and debian packaging as
  the ubuntu-wallpapers package.

  The package initially contains the wallpapers for xenial.  Within the
  16.10 development cycle we will be updating with yakkety specific
  wallpapers as well.
