Hi,

lets be a bit sarcastic (not unrealistic, still happened).

One more reason:
* The maintainer makes no errors and don't wanted to be disturbed by a
  bug report. I don't want to tell a concrete package name to not start
  a flame. Ask by PM if you interested in.

Sure, but my main point is that looking at the package meant I noticed
that it's now added rpcbind as an alternative portmapper.  That's
something which we should be doing over the entire distribution rather
than in a few packages.

hurd and SA_SIGINFO

2010-01-08 Thread Camm Maguire
Greetings!

1) What is the release candidate status of hurd-i386?  Can I ignore FTBFS
errors there for now?

2) The sigaction flags are not found anywhere on the porterbox, though
they are mentioned in the sigaction man page.

Take care,

It's not ready yet, surely not for Squeeze anyway.

> Can I ignore FTBFS errors there for now?

Yes, but when it's easy to fix them, please do.

Yes, actually GNU/Hurd provides its own signal information structure
(which was coined before sigaction, apparently).  I started adding the
sigaction interface but hasn't finished yet.

$ objdump -p /usr/bin/r |grep RPATH
  RPATH
/usr/lib64/R/lib:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jni:/usr/lib/libfakeroot:/usr/lib64/libfakeroot:/usr/lib32/libfakeroot

And you only seem to be using libraries from /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/lib/R/lib.

I think lintian is right to complain.

Anyway, I think that /usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so really should be in
/usr/lib/ and that you shouldn't need an rpath at all.

A few quick comments:

i)There are several entries because I (at compile time) deconstruct the
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH set by /usr/bin/R (a shell script) used to load R from
  /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/, this uses /usr/lib/R/lib.  We could strip every
  thing but /usr/lib64/R/lib and the Java libs, but why bother

ii)   /usr/lib/R/lib (or /usr/lib64/R/lib) is needed and will not move,
  unless someone (you ?) convinces R Core to change it. (Hint: Won't
  happen).   This is how it is, this has been discussed before and you
  are kindly invited to read up on the old discussions.

iii)  /usr/bin/r, for which I am 1/2 of upstream, won't change either because
  this embedding of R is its whole point (vis-a-vis the shellscript 
/usr/bin/R)

My post was a false alert anyway; I had one actual bug with an 'empty' entry
and that has been fixed. 

Cheers, Dirk
