RFS: gnustep-base (updated package)
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.19.1-1 of my package "gnustep-base". Programming Lang: Objective-C It builds these binary packages: gnustep-base-common - GNUstep Base library - common files gnustep-base-doc - Documentation for the GNUstep Base Library gnustep-base-examples - Examples using the GNUstep Base Library gnustep-base-runtime - GNUstep Base library - daemons and tools libgnustep-base-dev - GNUstep Base header files and development libraries libgnustep-base1.19 - GNUstep Base library libgnustep-base1.19-dbg - GNUstep Base library - debugging symbols There is one lintian warning (debian-rules-calls-debhelper-in-odd-order), which is a result of fixing #478757 (circular dependencies). I believe what is being done is right, although perhaps there's a more elegant way. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnustep-base - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnustep-base/gnustep-base_1.19.1-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.19.3-3 of my package "gnustep-base". This upload should fix FTBFS on powerpc and hurd-i386.

RFS: gnustep-base (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.20.0-1 of my package "gnustep-base". It builds these binary packages: gnustep-base-common - GNUstep Base library - common files gnustep-base-doc - Documentation for the GNUstep Base Library gnustep-base-examples - Examples using the GNUstep Base Library gnustep-base-runtime - GNUstep Base library - daemons and tools libgnustep-base-dev - GNUstep Base header files and development libraries libgnustep-base1.20 - GNUstep Base library libgnustep-base1.20-dbg - GNUstep Base library - debugging symbols The package appears to be lintian clean and is targeted for experimental; it would enable us (us == GNUstep team) to evaluate what to release with squeeze. Short summary below: 1) Current situation: -base 1.19.3, -gui/back 0.16.0: * Cons: RC buggy on multiple levels, not releasable. * Pros: None. (Note: The reason is that gnustep-base/1.19.3 was an ABI-breaking release (compared to 1.19.1) and it should never have been uploaded as it is. It's too late to repair the damage now.) 2) Relevantly safe (but unpleasant for us/users) variant: -base 1.19.3, -gui/back 0.17.1 (currently in experimental): * Cons: Both are already obsolete. * Pros: Already tested among the Debian GNUstep team members (which is not much -- 1-3 people). 3) Hypothethcally safe variant: -base 1.20.0, -gui/back 0.17.1 (currently in experimental): * Cons: - Untested and not recommended by upstream combination (stable Base release with unstable GUI/Back release lagging one cycle). - -gui/0.17.1 does not build against -base/1.20.0 (no surprise); significant wizardry involved to make it compile, let alone ensure things work at runtime. * Pros: - None; all GNUstep apps depend on -base (just like all GNOME apps depends on GLib) so a gnustep-base transition implies binNMUs for all packages depending on gnustep-gui, too. 4) Best (from upstream and stable Debian users POV) variant: - base 1.20.0, -gui/back 0.18.0. * Cons: - Untested within Debian (at the time of writing). - Some parts of the libraries are essentially rewritten, which is somewhat a scary fact in itself (implications unknown as of now). - Many packages in Debian will fail to build and/or run (we'll try to fix them all), and will fall back to variant 2) if we can't manage. * Pros: - Current upstream _stable_ releases. - Important bugfixes are going to be applied to the stable branch, or in most cases will be easily backportable. - Whatever you can add here to justify the usefulness of having a (relevantly) long-time supported upstream, stable, up-to-date at the time of the Squeeze release, thing. In short: We'll see, but that's what experimental is for, right? It is my understanding that uploading this package would not impede the scenarios above, and we will be still able to release as per scenario 2) above.

I also informed upstream that I intend to include it in the Debian package and asked them to be applied upstream. If you find the time to test it on Ubuntu's autobuilders, for your convenience here is a "quiltified" version that applies cleanly against 1.19.3: http://fsa-bg.org/~yavorescu/gnustep/GSXML-catalogs.patch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'm not sure what you have in mind... Is Launchpad/Ubuntu capable of syncing directly from the pkg-gnustep Arch repo? I'm currently preparing 1.20.0 for experimental (which has the patch in); but if we end up releasing squeeze with 1.19.3 (see [1] for the preliminary plan), I (i.e. you :-)) can do another upload for sid with the patch included.

RFS: gnustep-base (updated package, security bug)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.19.3-2 of my package "gnustep-base". It builds these binary packages: gnustep-base-common - GNUstep Base library - common files gnustep-base-doc - Documentation for the GNUstep Base Library gnustep-base-examples - Examples using the GNUstep Base Library gnustep-base-runtime - GNUstep Base library - daemons and tools libgnustep-base-dev - GNUstep Base header files and development libraries libgnustep-base1.19 - GNUstep Base library libgnustep-base1.19-dbg - GNUstep Base library - debugging symbols The upload would fix these bugs: 560740 There is one lintian warning: debian-rules-calls-debhelper-in-odd-order. I believe the code is correct; the odd ordering is to avoid circular dependency. Perhaps there's a way to workaround lintian to avoid the warning; that's why I haven't added an override (yet). The most important thing in this upload is a fix for a nasty security issue in gdomap, discovered yesterday. I've discussed the case with the Security Team.
