Re: RFS: hexer (adopted updated package)
Hi Dne Fri, 3 Apr 2009 05:50:09 +0300 Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net napsal(a): I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.1.4c-3 of my package hexer. This is an adoption - ITA #520635. The changelog entry describing my update to the Debian packaging of hexer is included a bit further down. There's just one binary package: hexer - An interactive binary editor with a Vi-like interface Have you checked how does it compare to bvi? The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hexer/hexer_0.1.4c-3.dsc Besides two overrides, which were already brought to attention, I don't see anything problematic in there. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hi all,
I would need a sponsor for fftw3. The package is available here:

Source: pyrex
Binary: python-pyrex pyrex-mode
Architecture: source all
Version: 0.9.8.5-1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Paul Brossier p...@debian.org
Changed-By: Paul Brossier p...@debian.org
Description:
pyrex-mode - emacs-lisp pyrex-mode for pyrex
python-pyrex - compile native-code modules for Python from
Python-like syntax
Closes: 483035
Changes:
pyrex (0.9.8.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
* Acknowledge non-maintainer upload (closes: #483035).

You can get very large speedups for tasks that don't need all the dynamic
features of Python, with very small differences in syntax and much less
hassle than writing your modules from scratch in C.

Matthias provided a gmp.h wrapper from Redhat that selects between architecture variants based on preprocessor symbols, e.g. #if defined(__i386__) #include gmp-i386.h #elif defined(__ia64__) #include gmp-ia64.h ... However, in the case at hand it is the same architecture. One variant is compiled with -m32 and the other with -m64. Is there a symbol that can distinguish the two so that I can use the Redhat trick? Other solutions? -m32 defines __i386__ while -m64 defined __x86_64__ and so on for each architecture. So just use the architecture defines. The Redhat trick already does the job. Hey, that's great! My next question is: how can I discover the suffix programmatically? Is there something like dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_CPU or gcc -dumpmachine that will spit out the right suffix when given -m32 or -m64, etc?

RFS: magicfilter (QA update of the package)
Dear mentors,
The package magicfilter, a print filter for spoolers like lpr/lprng/etc,
in Debian had some issues (dependencies on nonexistent packages)
since it had not been updated in the last 3 years (according to the
changelog, its last updated was in 2006).
Since I use the package regularly and care about it, I would love to see
it uploaded to Debian and I plan on taking care of it (it is currently
RFA'ed, as said in Bug #176737).
I am, thus, looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.2-60.1 of
magicfilter.
Here is the relevant part of the changelog:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
magicfilter (1.2-60.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Do some QA work, since I care about this package and the current
maintainer issued an RFA bug (176737).
* debian/control: revamp the file:
+ replace tetex-bin with texlive.
+ replace gs with ghostscript.
+ remove gzip dependency build-dependency (it's essential).
+ remove dvips nonexistent dependency (dvips is included in texlive).
+ remove libjpeg-gif dependency (nonexistent).
+ add poppler-utils in front of xpdf-utils (the first is more updated).
+ add autotools-dev to build-deps.
+ wrap the build-deps and deps fields.
+ add Homepage: field.
* debian/watch: create from scratch.
* debian/rules:
+ don't ignore make errors.
+ don't ignore make errors (-i).
+ soon to use a patch system (quilt).
+ soon to use debhelper (it's homebrew for now).
+ add upstream changelog.
* debian/{postinst,postrm,prerm}:
+ use set -e.
* debian/copyright:
+ refer to GPL-2, not GPL.
+ added upstream copyright notice.
* debian/menu:
+ change section to Applications/System/Administration.
