parted unblock, and upcoming transition

2010-03-11 Thread Colin Watson
Could parted 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-6 be unblocked, please?  It's needed
to smooth the path for parted 2.2 in the near future.

Speaking of which, I would like to upload parted 2.2 to unstable (it's
currently in experimental) once 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-6 reaches testing.
The reason to try to get this into squeeze is that without it we won't
properly support Advanced Format (i.e. 512-byte logical sectors) hard
drives, which are becoming increasingly common.  There is an ABI
transition involved, among the following source packages (maintainers
CCed):

  devicekit-disks
  fatresize
  gnu-fdisk
  gparted
  libvirt
  partconf
  partitioner
  partitionmanager
  partman-base
  pyparted
  qtparted
  udisks

I believe that all of these are trivial matters of changing
build-dependencies, with the exception of fatresize which needs a fix to
its configure script as well (already done upstream); some of these
packages already had appropriate or nearly-appropriate versions in
experimental, last I checked.

We might want to let devicekit-disks/udisks get into testing first, but
after that's done, would it be convenient to the release team and to the
other maintainers CCed here to start this transition?  I can supervise
it, upload the d-i parts and the QA-maintained qtparted directly, and
file bugs with patches as necessary for the others.

Thanks,

Done, after using the new version for a day without noticing any
problems and building a few packages with it.

I got two lintian warnings about the *-config programs not having man
pages but it's pretty minor thing.


It's also not exactly new since ncurses-config never had a manpage…


Probably look at the pkg-config man page and use that.


Thomas, would you accept an ncurses-config manpage if we provide one?


yes (license-compatible, etc).  I just overlooked it, since it does have
a --help, etc.


Thanks for providing the manpage(s) now, but there is a little problem.
At least in out-of-tree builds (like in the Debian package),
ncurses*-config.1 does not get installed when running make install
because (like terminfo.5) it is in the build tree and not in $(scrdir),
but man/Makefile.in does not take this into account.


thanks (will fix...)

Once that change is put into the Debian source, would that be a good
point to release the Debian package?

offhand, I guess so - I don't recall any bug reports (modifying Ada95 to
ease packaging it doesn't count in that category).
