Sorry to not have handled that with the previous upload. It was my
plan to look at it in the next few days, now that the previous upload
migrated to testing.

Thanks for the forwarding and the notice. I already saw 1.36 in my
feedreader (via UDD DMD) and planned to look at that, too.

Wanted to import the new upstream release, but "git tag -s" seems to
no more find my private key since the switch to gpg2. Meh. Might take
a little bit more time until I figured out how to sign git tags again.
(Any hints welcome. debsign also seems to have that issue, but the
option "-pgpg1" helps.)

Regards, Axel

I finally forwarded that to upstream last week, and the new version
1.36 contains all the needed changes (solibcurses-perl_hurd1.debdiff
is obsolete).

Can you please upload it to Debian and close this bug with it?

Bug#749911: libcurses-perl: FTBFS on hurd-i386: outdated c-gnu.h

[Pino Toscano]

Source: libcurses-perl
Version: 1.31-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: debian-h...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

Hi,

libcurses-perl 1.31-1 fails to compile on GNU/Hurd [1].

The problem is that the hints header c-gnu.h, provided by the Debian
patch libcurses-perl_hurd1.debdiff, is not up-to-date w.r.t. the
changes done upstream between 1.28 and 1.31 to the hints headers.

Attached there is an updated version of the hurd patch, which allows
libcurses-perl to build again. Would it be possible to forward it
upstream, so this header will need less Debian-specific handling?

Without having looked at it and just based on your description: Is
there a chance that neither we nor upstream will have to ship that
file and keep it uptodate, but that we build-depend on something on
hurd-i386 only and we just have to #include that?

Unless upstream changes the way those ncurses hints header work,
I'd say working around it locally just makes things worse.

For the rest, I guess it might be better to take a look at the actual
files in the hints/ subdirectory.
