This package is fine for me, and I will be glad to upload it.
I only noticed that in the previous version you added a 
DM-Upload-Allowed field, which you now change to
XS-DM-Upload-Allowed.
But in the meanwhile, as Cyril already pointed out, dpkg was changed
to understand the original version.

So, wouldn't be better for you to revert this field-name change?

Yup, you're right here. All those changes are really confusing if you
don't follow every single list in Debian for a while, I guess. I'll
remove it, reupload the package to mentors and see if it works this
time :)

Thanks, Luca,

debdiff between the old and new binary:
File lists identical (after any substitutions)

Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)

Depends: {+apache2.2-common,+} libc6 (>= [-2.3.6-6), libdb4.3 (>= 4.3.28-1),

Installed-Size: [-72-] {+124+}
Maintainer: [-Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>-] {+Debian QA Group <[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>+}
Version: [-2.2.1-2-] {+2.2.1-3+}

So the dependencies on libdb4.3, libexpat1, libruby1.8 vanished? Is that
correct?

At least from a .so point of view:
Symbol diff:

  ./usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_xmlrpc.so:
@@ -1,13 +1,10 @@
   NEEDED  libxmlrpc.so.3
+  NEEDED  libxmlrpc_util.so.3
   NEEDED  libxmlrpc_xmlparse.so.3
   NEEDED  libxmlrpc_xmltok.so.3
+  NEEDED  libuuid.so.1
   NEEDED  librt.so.1
-  NEEDED  libm.so.6
   NEEDED  libcrypt.so.1
-  NEEDED  libnsl.so.1
   NEEDED  libpthread.so.0

-  NEEDED  libdb-4.3.so
-  NEEDED  libexpat.so.1
   NEEDED  libc.so.6
-  NEEDED  libruby1.8.so.1.8

Since the previous (-2) revision can't be rebuilt (FTBFS), I only
applied the CMakeLists.txt diff, and both (the rebuilt one and the
“Barry one”) binaries are the same. Could it be that these NEEDED
dependencies previously came from extra linking and/or from extra Libs
in pkgconfig files (or similar), now moved to Libs.private?

Note that xmlrpc-c is in a strange shape (build states), I'm contacting
seanius through private mail about that.

Cheers,

Following devscripts and dpkg's changelog might be considered a SHOULD
in the policy, but I must confess that following dpkg these days is a
bit challenging. :)

ifeq in an if statement

2008-01-26 Thread Laszlo Boszormenyi
Hi,

In one package I would like to prevent some binary being strip-ped if
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
instruct so.
It's fine if the strip line is:
@$(STRIP) $(DESTDIR)/sbin/$(GRADM_BIN)
I add the following:
ifeq (,$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
@$(STRIP) $(DESTDIR)/sbin/$(GRADM_BIN)
endif
Works fine. But there's an other strip:
@if [ -f $(GRADM_PAM) ] ; then \
echo "Installing gradm_pam..." ; \
$(INSTALL) -m 4755 $(GRADM_PAM) $(DESTDIR)/sbin ; \
$(STRIP) $(DESTDIR)/sbin/$(GRADM_PAM) ; \
fi
If I add findstring like:
@if [ -f $(GRADM_PAM) ] ; then \
echo "Installing gradm_pam..." ; \
$(INSTALL) -m 4755 $(GRADM_PAM) $(DESTDIR)/sbin ; \
ifeq (,$(findstring nostrip,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
$(STRIP) $(DESTDIR)/sbin/$(GRADM_PAM) ; \
endif
fi
I get:
/bin/sh: -c: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
/bin/sh: -c: line 3: `ifeq (,)'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2

What do I miss?

Regards,
Laszlo/GCS

How about using the conditional to set
STRIP = /bin/true
if the nostrip option is present.
Then you don't have to clutter up the rest of the rules.

Dear David,

this package would be very useful to scientists, so I am sure that you
can find long-term support on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.

I have added your package on the following wiki page:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceBibliography
If you want, can you update it when bibutils gets accepted in Debian?

Although I am not a DD, I have a few comments on your package:

* debian/copyright: bibutils is released under the GPLv2 or any later
  version. Also, you have to include the thee paragraphs from the "How to
  Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" section of the GPL to the
  copyright file. Lastly, the copyright of C. Putnam starts from 1995.

* debian/docs: has a duplicated line.

* debian/bibutils.dbk: you used a template that is not the latest (see
  /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/examples/foo.1.example_manpage.xml.gz ) You
  do not need to update it, but for instance, the latest has a link to
  its stylesheed in the header, so that `xsltproc debian/bibutils.dbk'
  would be enough to make the manpate. Personnaly, I do not build the
  manpages at buildd time anymore, I just regenerate them only if they
  really changed, and include the .1 files in the source package.
  Lastly, Policy 12.1 recommends to use symlinks instead of the .so
  system.

* debian/control: are you sure you need the autotools.dev package? Will
  the config.(sub|guess) files be used by the configure script?

* debian/rules: are you sure that you need to run the configure script?
  If not, you can drop the build-dependancy on csh.

* xml2word has the potential to generate namespace clashes in the
  future. Maybe you can ask upstream if he would like to consider
  renaming it.

* Bibutils provide a small test suite. Maybe you can build it and run it
  in during the package building.

PS: actually, debhelper is very smart and replaces the .so manpages by
symlinks !

Have a nice day, and many thanks for packaging bibutils!
