Could we just upgrade to version 1.12.0 for sid/bookworm, please?
Right now, the mozillavpn package is slated for removal from bookworm. I
would be very happy if we could avoid this.
After some tinkering, I got v1.12.0 to work on sid/bookworm. Here's what
it takes:
1) Create mozillavpn_2.12.0.orig.tar.gz
a) download
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/archive/refs/tags/v2.12.0.tar.gz
b) unpack it (and discover that directories under 3rdparty/ subdir
are empty)
c) drop the contents of
https://github.com/mozilla/glean/archive/refs/tags/v52.0.0.tar.gz into
3rdparty/glean/
d) drop the contents of
https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-tools/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
into 3rdparty/wireguard-tools/
2) Based on mozillavpn_2.9.0-1.debian.tar.xz, apply some changes to
debian/ directory:
a) -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to dh_auto_configure argument in debian/rules
(without it it FTBFS trying to run some tests and that is also in
upstream's rules file)
d) change rm -rf debian/mozillavpn/etc/opt/chrome to rm -rf
debian/mozillavpn/etc/opt in debian/rules so purge won't remove
/etc/opt/ since there's nothing in there anyway
c) Add packages python3-click and python3-jinja2 to Build-Depnds in
debian/control (without these, it FTBFS)
d) remove libqt6* and qt6-qpa-plugins dependencies in debian/control
(see #1026957).
This builds for me on amd64.
An alternative to step 1) above is of course to clone from
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client.git and then git
submodule update --init. That only adds some stuff not needed for Debian
into the orig.tar.gz.
For the record, I've placed copies of the files at
https://in.terlu.de/~kreckel/mozillavpn/.
Also, debian-release should be contacted because of the build failure on
mipsel and mpis64el. It makes little sense to insist on these
architectures if upstream doesn't care.
Please decide how to proceed and let me know if I can help in any way.
