Oh fsck. Okay, I'm rebuilding as 3.12-0.1 now. To avoid fiddling with epochs,
I have deleted the 3.12-1.0 from Incoming after assurring myself that the
package had indeed not been installed.

Good to know. I marked that in the updated changelog file.

Thanks for spotting my mistakes. Now I'm left with rebuilding Octave so that
it can indeed depend on info (>= 3.12-0.1). Three Octave builds in 24hrs, and
having been at work at day ...

Cheers, Dirk

You called it 3.12-1.0 but it should be 3.12-0.1.  Also you'll need to
ensure (-sa to dpkg-buildpackage) that the .orig.tar.gz is included in
the upload.  (It's not in Incoming at the moment so dinstall will
reject your upload)

Their functionality has been integrated into the upstream source so
they are obsolete.

Non-maintainer release of info-3.12

1998-04-17 Thread Dirk Eddelbuettel

I just made a non-maintainer release of info_3.12-1 as Octave now needs a
version of info that is greater or equal to 3.11. [1]

There were three files outside the debian/ that were patched in info-3.9. The
patch didn't apply properly, and I didn't investigate further. It's been
three upstream revisions ... But someone might want to hold onto the old
diff.gz.

I also had to make three trivial changes to debian/rules as a few files
changed changed locations (and info.1 disappeared, so I copied the old one
into debian/ and used it).

[1] Octave used to ship its own patched version but that patch, or more
precisely the --index-search option made it into upstream some time ago.
