Re: ClipIt -- Clipboard manager
Hello everyone, and thanks for your feedback. Sorry that I missed your mails but you didn't cc me and I don't visit the mailing list that often (mainly because everyone cc'ed me until now). Anyway, I have looked up on this and my package actually uses config.(guess|sub) files and this is the description of autotools-dev: "This package installs an up-to-date version of config.guess and config.sub, used by the automake and libtool packages. It provides the canonical copy of those files for other packages as well." So from this description I assume that it would actually be of benefit to the building of the package, not sure though. I will read up on how autotools is actually being used and see if it is really needed by my package. If you have any suggestions or tips on this they'd be very welcome. Thanks again!

Well, I just noticed that autotools-dev is actually an indirect dependency of intltool (intltool depends on automake which depends on autotools-dev) so I guess if I remove autotools-dev from the dependency list it won't cause any harm.

Well, on his last post on http://parcellite.sf.net/ the original programmer said that he'd encourage people to _fork_ the program, I didn't see him mentioning that he would want to hand over the project, that is why I never even thought about this possibility. Of course I have mailed him before making my first release and asked him if he was ok with the fact that I forked the program and in his reply he also didn't mention anything about taking over parcellite, so like I said, I didn't think about this possibility.

I have tackled the first bug filed in ubuntu, which I found pretty important (an OOM exception) in version 1.2.1, and the fix that I implemented, should also take care in part of the other bug (it was caused by the same big entries in the history). This fix is not perfect, but it should work in 99% of all cases and I will also think of a better way to do it in future (there also seem to be speed issues with such big entries in the GTK menus).

Re: RFS: clipit
Hello, well, I'm not sure how I could drop -lpthread. Like I said, there is no reference to the pthread lib in any of my source files (beside the obvious call to pthread_exit), so this must come from some of the stuff that ./configure runs, and I am not sure how I could drop it from there.

Re: RFS: clipit
Hello, I have moved the autogen.sh call before dh_auto_configure and have also managed to fix the gettext problem by replacing the gettext command with autopoint. autopoint does basically the same thing as gettext, but without that naging user input request. I haven't made these changes upstream yet, before you tell me that this is an acceptable solution. If this is acceptable, I will make a new upstream release and repackage without any patches. The only warnings left right now are: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-maintainer-mode and dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libpthread.so.0 could be avoided if "debian/clipit/usr/bin/clipit" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). but this last one is unnecessary, because my program actually uses functions from libpthread.so (pthread_exit), so it needs that library...

Re: RFS: clipit
Sorry, sending the message again because I forgot to cc
debian-ment...@lists.debian.org.
Hello,
I have managed to get rid of the dpkg-shlibdeps warning by using the
flag '-Wl,--as-needed'. I have also solved the autogen.sh problem by
overriding dh_clean like this:
override_dh_clean:
dh_clean
./autogen.sh
I couldn't use the --autoconf and --automake flags of dh as you
suggested because my package also needs gettext (and a couple of other
things) to be run.
The only problems (at least as far as I can tell) left right now are
that autogen.sh asks for user input when running (this is because of
gettext) and I'm not sure if this is allowed, that a pretty big
patchfile gets created because of the extra files that autogen.sh
creates and that there are a couple of warnings left:
dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'intltool-extract.in'
will not be represented in diff
dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'intltool-merge.in' will
not be represented in diff
dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'intltool-update.in' will
not be represented in diff
dpkg-source: warning: executable mode 0755 of 'configure' will not be

I have also fixed the problems with the manpage and have made a new
upstream release to include all of the changes.
Regarding your comment:

Re: RFS: clipit
Hello, I have managed to fix almost all of the problems, beside two. The first one being the "dpkg-shlibdeps" warnings. I cannot figure out where they come from. When I created the control file, I have only put as dependency the following things: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~), libgtk2.0-dev, intltool So I am not sure where dpkg-buildpackage takes the other dependencies from. The second problem that I'm having is that the package that I provide normally on sourceforge, needs to be prepared with ./autogen.sh. This script will call autoconf, automake, and some other stuff, to create the configure script and the other things that are needed for compiling. Now, when I have created the deb package, I have just unpacked the tar.gz from sourceforge, ran ./autogen.sh on the extracted folder, and then packaged it back up to a tar.gz and used that one as the source file. I imagine though that this might not be the correct way to do it, so if you could please tell me how exactly this should be done, I would appreciate it. Thanks again for the useful tips & tricks you have given me.
