The issues you bring up seem to be more general than for any single maintainer or team and dealing with it at the top level would maybe improve the entire release system. As I said, though, I don't have a better alternative in mind.

Many thanks to everyone for taking care of this. I'll make sure to use a more recent lintian before requesting upload. I would have overridden the irrelevant warnings if I saw them. Charles, I see the emails with all your commit messages, but I only see that your tag is showing up in the alioth repository. Your changelog update and d/copyright revision are not there.

Hi Olivier, the second warning is a false positive that has been corrected in latest versions of Lintian. To make a build reproducible, the process of producing a binary pakcages should not create gzipped files with a timestamp on, otherwise each build will produce a slightly different package (unless something like faketime is used). Here, the files are part of the upstream source, which means that they will not change when the packages are rebuilt. So there is not problem.

That's a question only upstream can answer. Generally if you find manually craftet Makefiles (in contrast to automake or cmake) you need to prepare for some trouble. Sometimes it can be easier for the Debian maintainer to provide a modern build system to upstream and hope they will take this over (I did so in the past in a few projects). > One of the differences was related to hybrid_36_c, which is added to > Makefile.linux using the fix_build_issue.patch, And the other is "-static" > flag at the top. I don't know how much important is a flag to create a > separate Makefile for it? OR, maybe I've missed some points about the > Makefile-s. I guess its not your fault. It is simply that upstream is to lazy to check how to craft modern build system - but may be this project itself is simple enough that it is not worth any additional effort.

I think the last missing bit to enable a `gbp buildpackage` to me is the pristine-tar branch which I wrote in my last mail to the list.

Re: [MoM] regarding rename_binary_result.patch
Hi Malihe, I noticed another issue. In the pristine-tar branch the old tarball name remains. I'd recommend to reimport the new tarball name gbp import-orig --pristine-tar /king-probe_2.13.110909.orig.tar.xz it might be needed to delete the upstream tag but might be it works without this. Hope this helps Andreas.

Please update changelog to set to unstable instead of UNRELEASED (I made it locally for upload). There are also 2 warnings with lintian on timestamped gzip, might worth having a look next time.

[MoM] regarding rename_binary_result.patch
Hi Malihe, I observed your commits (without trying to build since I' just sitting in the train to debconf). I noticed that for the binary rename you decided for a patch to the makefile. At first I'd say that this is perfectly OK since everything that works is OK here. However, when I did similar things I instead decided to do the rename inside debian/rules in something like override_dh_install: dh_install mv debian/$(DEBPKGNAME)/usr/bin/probe debian/$(DEBPKGNAME)/usr/bin/king-probe like way. While it is simply a matter of tast and there is no right or wrong way I'd like to express this option to let you know. I might send further remarks when I try to build the package later but it looks like you are easily making your way which makes me really happy. :-) Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
