Re: RFS: creepy (third Try)

[Kilian Krause]

Hi Daniel,


> dget

thank you for your work. I've uploaded your package as is. Some
recommendations for the next upload:

1. symlink ./usr/share/pixmaps/creepy.xpm to avoid having a double copy
   using twice as much space.
2. The tarball that's currently on the upstream website does not match
yours. Neither the 0.1.9 nor the "master" tarball. The diff is minimal,
but it would be preferable if you could use an upstream tarball that's
actually verifyable without running diff on the extracted files.

Cheers,
Kilian

Hi,
i'm not really sure if i should drop quilt from Build-Depends, since
one tine patch still here.
(yes, i made a bit of mess here: patch 10* is not really required, so
i've drop it first time,
but... i've revive it later, since one can build package w/o wx )

An addendum, fuse looks like it needs a new maintainer:

http://bugs.debian.org624818
http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fuse.html

Since your package uses it, you might want to consider adopting it.

How to tell cdbs to work only on 2 out of 7 debs in debian/control?

[Regid Ichira]

  debian/control of the nut source package has about 7 binary debs,

say A ... G.  They are built using cdbs.  What should I put in debian/rules in
order to build only A and B?  
  The rules file that the debian maintainer uses for building all the debs is:

$ cat debian/rules
#!/usr/bin/make -f

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk

Get this bug fixed:

http://bugs.debian.org/530346

I would suggest filing a bug and patch upstream, then pinging 530346
and marking it as forwarded to the upstream bug:

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#forwarded

Something like this:

Subject: libfuse-dev: 530346: forwarded upstream
To: 530...@bugs.debian.org
CC: cont...@bugs.debian.org

forwarded 530346 http://..
tags 530346 + patch
thanks

I've forwarded this bug and the attached patch upstream, please apply
the patch in Debian until it is applied upstream.

This isn't directly helpful for what you're trying to do, but I think it's
worth noting that both of those libraries are part of libc and hence don't
cause any of the problems that led to Debian trying to get rid of
unnecessary dependencies.  Your package is already going to depend on
libc, so these dependencies can't add false package dependencies to the
binary package and hence really don't matter.

I personally would not bother trying to fix this if it's hard to fix,
since the only benefit is some minor cleanliness that users will never
notice.

Re: override_dh_auto_configure not called

[Anton Gladky]

I have solved the problem by this way:

=
#! /usr/bin/make -f
%:
dh $@

binary-indep:
dh --before dh_auto_build $@
$(MAKE) doc
dh --after dh_auto_build $@

binary-arch:
dh --before dh_auto_build $@
$(MAKE) bins
dh --after dh_auto_build $@

binary: binary-indep binary-arch
=

I do not know, is this correct or not, but it works...

RFS: gnustep-make (updated package)

[Yavor Doganov]

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.6.0-1
of my package "gnustep-make".

It builds these binary packages:
gnustep-common - Common files for the core GNUstep environment
gnustep-make - Basic GNUstep Makefiles
gnustep-make-doc - Documentation for GNUstep-make

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 594141

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnustep-make
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
- dget

Avoiding useless library dependencies

[Nikolaus Rath]

Hello,

I am trying to get rid of these warnings:

dh_makeshlibs -a
dh_shlibdeps -a
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libdl.so.2 could be avoided if 
"debian/python-llfuse/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/llfuse.so 
debian/python-llfuse/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/llfuse.so" were not uselessly 
linked against it (they use none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on librt.so.1 could be avoided if 
"debian/python-llfuse/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/llfuse.so 
debian/python-llfuse/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/llfuse.so" were not uselessly 
linked against it (they use none of its symbols).

The -lrt and -ldl flags in the linker invocation come from `pkg-config
fuse`, so I am hesitant to manually remove them. Instead, I have added
--as-needed in front of them:

gcc -pthread -shared -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions 
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/llfuse.o -o 
build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/llfuse.so --as-needed -pthread -lfuse -lrt -ld

However, even with --as-needed, llfuse.so is still linked against both
libdl and librt and shlibdeps keeps complaining.

Is shlibdeps smarter than --as-needed? What's the proper way to fix this
warning?


Thanks,

   -Nikolaus
