Hi Paul,

I've sent a new version to Joost a while ago (12 november), it should fix all
the issues. There was some delay in the reply from Joost. I don't know the
current status of my submitted changes.

The new files are available via the following URL:
https://codemadness.org/downloads/ports/debian/sfeed/

In the debian/copyright file is added:

Files: strlcat.c
Files: strlcpy.c
Copyright: 1998, 2015 Todd C. Miller 
License: ISC

strlcat.c en strlcpy.c are copied from OpenBSD and are used for compatibility
with the C functions strlcat() and strlcpy(). They are also ISC licensed.

Thanks,

Kind regards,

Cross-compiling Busybox debian package

[Clément Péron]

Dear Debian Mentors and Busybox Deb maintainers,

This is my first debian package compilation :)

I'm trying to cross compile the busybox deb package (ADM64 -> ARM64).

After reading a bit of doc on the compilation I do the following steps:

dpkg --add-architecture arm64
apt build-dep -aarm64 -y busybox
apt source busybox
cd busybox-1.35.0
export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck
debuild --host-arch arm64 -b --no-sign

You can find the complete step on my github repo:
https://github.com/clementperon/busybox-ubnt-build/blob/main/.github/workflows/default.yml#L37-L71

But I got the following errors:
dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library libresolv.so.2 needed by
debian/busybox/bin/busybox (ELF format: 'elf64-littleaarch64' abi:
'020100b7'; RPATH: '')
2474dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library libc.so.6 needed by
debian/busybox/bin/busybox (ELF format: 'elf64-littleaarch64' abi:
'020100b7'; RPATH: '')
2475dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
needed by debian/busybox/bin/busybox (ELF format:
'elf64-littleaarch64' abi: '020100b7'; RPATH: '')
2476

The arm64 shared libs are stored in
'/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/libc.so.6'
I tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib
But it didn't help :(

Do you have any idea what I'm missing ?

Thanks for your help,
BR,
Clement

sfeed_1.6-1_amd64 was uploaded to NEW, and rejected due to a very
fixable copyright oversight. I don't see it in NEW or the archive,
so I'm going to CC the last folks to package this, perhaps you can
deduplicate your work.

Re: Debian 11 missing packages I need what configure should I run?

[Soren Stoutner]

Users new to Debian often misunderstand the various Debian repositories.  Let 
me give you 
a brief description.

Stable:  Debian releases a new Stable version about every two years.  It is 
designed for 
servers where administrators require complete *feature* stability, meaning that 
they don’t 
want anything to change, they don’t want any new features, they don’t want to 
have to 
modify any config files to make them compatible with any changes in the 
software.  They 
just want it to run and receive security updates.  Very few people would be 
looking to run 
Debian Stable in a desktop environment.

Testing:  Testing is a rolling release.  It updates twice a day from packages 
that have been 
vetted in Unstable long enough to be considered generally usable.  It is what 
most people 
are looking for if they want to use recent versions of software.  Periodically, 
testing freezes 
and becomes the new Stable release.  The next freeze of Testing is scheduled to 
begin on 
January 12.

https://release.debian.org/bookworm/freeze_policy.html[1]

Unstable:  Unstable is where new packages are uploaded.  They sit there for a 
cooling-off 
period (the default is 5 days in most situations) and move to Testing if no 
significant bugs 
are found.  Sbuild defaults to building packages using an Unstable environment.

Experimental:  Unlike the other three repositories listed above, Experimental 
does not 
contain a full set of packages (meaning that you cannot install and run a full 
system solely 
from experimental).  Rather, it is a supplement to Unstable.  Packages in 
Experimental do 
not automatically propagate to other repositories.  Developers can upload 
packages to 
Experimental that they want to make available for wider testing but which they 
know are in 
an unfinished state.

The above is just a brief summary.  There is much more nuance that can be 
explored, 
including Backports (a supplementary repository of newer software that can be 
added on 
to a stable release).  The first place you would want to look for more 
information is:

https://www.debian.org/releases/[2]

From a personal perspective, I run all my servers and workstations on Debian 
Testing.  I use 
sbuild to test packaging in a Debian Unstable environment.  Other developers 
and users 
have different preferences.

What is you want to archive?
If you want to package something for inclusion in Debian (what this mailling 
list is about),
you need to know that packages are generally built for unstable. (unstable has 
pyqt6.)

If this is not what you want to archive, please expand…

Debian 11 missing packages I need what configure should I run?

[Barry Scott]

I have installed debian 11 (bullseye) but find that its missing packages 
that I need for my software.


For example python3-pyqt6 is a must have. debian 11 only has pyqt5.

What do you recommend I do to be on a debian which has the newer packages?

What is the stability expectation of your recommendation?

Both pbuilder and sbuild have been suggested.  Packagers use either, but, if
it is of interest, sbuild is what the Debian architecture uses to build your
package after you upload it.


sbuild sound like it matches mock, which is used to build in the Fedora 
infra.


I'll try and get it working.

On Fedora/RHEL I would use mock to build a RPM from source to ensure

Mock ensures that no packages in my dev machine are used to build the RPM.

What is the debian version of that tool?

I use `pbuilder` for this purpose:
