Bug#673406: Why not

2012-05-21 Thread Christine Caulfield
Can you give me a good reason why it should not be a Debian native 
package? It's been this way for a very long time now as you mentioned an 
nobody else has felt the need to complain. In fact (though I can't be 
sure) I think it was recommended to me in the first place by someone 
else on the project.


To the best of my knowledge no other distribution provides the decnet 
kernel module that it depends on, and I don't release separate upstream 
sources any more. The rpm.spec probably doesn't produce a usable RPM any 
more and is most definitely is not Fedora-compliant!


Making it a non-native package just doubles my workload for a package 
that has extremely minimal use and benefits nobody that I can see.

-fdollars-in-identifiers should fix the build failure too.


Ahh I see what's happened. I forgot to include -fdollars-in- 
identifiers in the dapfs compliation! The other places that need it  
already use it.


I'll upload a fixed package soon.

Thanks,

Chrissie

Bug#478750: Uses $ in c sources

2008-04-30 Thread Christine Caulfield

On 30 Apr 2008, at 19:54, Riku Voipio wrote:


Package: dnprogs
Version: 2.43
Severit: important

Current dnprogs fails to build on arm/armel due to usage of '$'
character as identifier in C source code. These appear to come
from rabdef.h.

See: http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=dnprogs&arch=arm

Fixing is really trivial, just use some other allowed character than  
"$"

as identifier.

ISO C defines identifiers as [a-zA-Z0-9_], and supporting other  
characters
is implementation specific. In other words, using them is not  
portable.

GCC in general allows $, but Arm EABI reserves $ for internal ABI
symbols.


I'm really reluctant to change this. The files I am using, rabdef.h  
and fabdef.h are imported from VMS and I very keen to keep  
compatibility with those symbols. VMS uses $ signs rather a lot in  
symbols!


Is there no way of allowing these symbols on ARM ? gcc used to have - 
fdollars-in-identifiers (which I probably still have set) to enable  
them.


if it's really impossible to incorporate these symbols, it might just  
be easier to disable dnprogs (or maybe just librms) on ARM. I doubt  
there are any users and I don't even know if the kernel part of the  
DECnet stack works on that architecture!

Bug#425012: Package lvm10 not in stable

Hello,

I want to ask again for the lvm10 package as it is very important for
all admins using kernel 2.4. Unfortunately I got no answer from you the
last time.



If you can find someone to re-introduce and maintain this package then 
please feel free.


I have neither the time not the inclination to do so. lvm10 is not 
maintained upstream and I have no systems I can run it on. There is 
nothing I can do to help.


Sorry,
Christine (formerly Patrick) Caulfield
