Bug#402920: mplayer FTBFS with DEB_BUILD_OPTS=debug

2006-12-19 Thread A Mennucc
btw, I always forgot to add:

 Package: mplayer
 Version: 1.0~rc1-2
 your mplayer version is quite old; current one is 1.0~rc1-7
 
   read the damn report, I did the report from another machine. sorry I
 did not fixed that.

from the man page of 'reportbug'

   -o FILE, --output=FILE
   Instead of sending an email, redirect it to the specified filename.


next time you would encounter a bug on a machine whence you cant send
email, you should use 'reportbug -o /tmp/m.bug mplayer ...'
(and then somehow copy /tmp/m.bug to some machine you can send email
from, and send it)

so, when I receive the bug, I receive the correct informations

 --

if you cannot use reportbug, then do not forget that an email is
just a text file anyway: before sending that email, make sure that the
version pseudo-header is correct; and state all relevant information
(architecture, libraries, kernel.. etc etc)

 Severity: serious

why? I checked into debian-policy 10.1 :
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html
 For this reason, it is recommended to support the 
 standardized environment variable DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS is a recommendation of policy, not a requirement.

I also found out that debug is not in the list of options.
See http://bugs.debian.org/157131

I will update that to 'noopt'


 
   attach is the relevant build log part.
   the build was done on an x86 box (not the one I report the bug from).
 

I cannot rerpoduce this (and I tried on AMD64)

  admitedly, but that's not wrt the name of the option, It's just that
thtis is the sole way to have a debug build of mplayer, that is more
than useful to generate useful backtraces and debug informations.

  you can feel free to consider this bug is not worth investigating, but
I may also consider that generating useful backtraces for you is not
worh the effort, and for the next bugs I'll just send stupid mails
mplayer segfaults on foo and let you deal with that alone.

  I do not care about the debug version a lot, I just wanted one with
debug symbols unstripped. But you're correct, you do not support
nostrip/noopt at all, and that's RC ! good catch.

attach is the relevant build log part.
the build was done on an x86 box (not the one I report the bug from).
 
 I cannot rerpoduce this (and I tried on AMD64)

  maybe because, If you had read the bug report, you would have seen
that the machine I did the report from was not the machine I built the
package on. I did a build of the last package, with an x86 box. not an
amd64.

  givent that it's a register allocation failure it seems, that's no
wonder it works on amd64 that has plenty of'em available.

read your own damn reports yourself

in all your reports, Version: 1.0~rc1-2

how am I supposed to know which versions you are using?

sole way?

did you try compiling it with '-g' instead of '-g3' ?

if you have a amd64 machine handy , did you try debugging on it?

   you can feel free to consider this bug is not worth investigating, but

I never said that

I actually immediatly started compilation of a debug

compilation takes 20minutes

after 20minutes, I sent you a some gdm info , and proposed a quick hack
to avoid any security risk

then you come pissing me off saying that I do not want to address your bug

 I may also consider that generating useful backtraces for you is not
 worh the effort, and for the next bugs I'll just send stupid mails
 mplayer segfaults on foo and let you deal with that alone.

I just downgraded this bug because it is not a requirement of the policy

   I do not care about the debug version a lot, I just wanted one with
 debug symbols unstripped. But you're correct, you do not support
 nostrip/noopt at all, and that's RC ! good catch.

I do care about debugging issues.

no it is not RC. RC is what the policy mandates, not what the policy
recommends.

this said, I still cannot reproduce it . So , please give me some time
to find a way to reproduce it. And that means tomorrow evening. I cannot
 access an etch/i386 today
