Bug#847043: O: gnulib -- GNU Portability Library
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi, I'm orphaning gnulib, it is way too long since I've kept up with maintaining it. The package description is: The GNU portability library is a macro system and C declarations and definitions for commonly-used API elements and abstracted system behaviors. It can be used to improve portability and other functionality in your programs. Note that the source package also produces the git-merge-changelog package, to aid in merging GNU-style ChangeLogs. If you adopt gnulib, consider also creating and releasing upstream stable snapshots, and using them as a source for the debian package. I've attached the script and HOWTO I wrote to document the process of creating stable snapshots. My git repo is at: git://erislabs.net/gnulib.git http://erislabs.net/gitweb?p=gnulib.git Branches are: upstream - upstream master, unmodified stable - stable snapshots master - debian packaging The upstream repo is at: git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git and the upstream mailing list is: bug-gnu...@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib any questions, ask me or maybe the upstream mailing list cheers, Ian. How to make a gnulib stable snapshot -------- by Ian Beckwith Last Update: Tue Apr 24 2010 Latest Version: http://erislabs.net/projects/gnulib/STABLE-HOWTO.html BRANCHES * upstream - tracks git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git * stable - the stable snapshot we produce, based on upstream * master - the debian branch, based on stable (optional) PROCEDURE * if you don't already have a repository: + clone the gnulib repo: $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git $ git branch -m master upstream + then either import the existing stable repo: $ git remote add erislabs git://erislabs.net/gnulib.git $ git fetch erislabs $ git branch stable erislabs/stable + or, if that isn't possible, start from scratch: $ git branch stable upstream * update upstream branch: $ git checkout upstream $ git pull * tag the current upstream HEAD for later use: $ git tag snapshot-start upstream * run the test suite: $ git checkout upstream $ ./gnulib-tool --create-megatestdir --with-tests --dir=t 2>&1 | tee create.out $ cd t $ ./do-autobuild 2>&1 | tee ../build.out $ cd .. * find failing tests with: $ grep -L rc=0 t/logs/* * report any issues to bug-gnu...@gnu.org * merge the current upstream version into the stable branch: $ git checkout stable $ git merge upstream * resolve conflicts $ git checkout upstream $ git commit -a * wait a week or so * update upstream branch: $ git checkout upstream $ git pull * create list of commits to review: $ git log --oneline --reverse --topo-order snapshot-start..upstream > ../stable.log * return to the stable branch $ git checkout stable * prepare NEWS.stable for new release. + add new header + add __NEXTCOMMITMARKER__ tag where you want commits to be logged * for each commit in ../stable.log: + review each commit in ../stable.log: $ git show commitid + if you want to cherry-pick that commit: $ stable-cherry-pick commitid (stable-cherry-pick source: http://erislabs.net/ianb/projects/gnulib/stable-cherry-pick) + if the cherry-pick fails: * resolve the conflict and commit, making a note of the new commitid * fill in the new commitid in NEWS.stable, then commit * remove __NEXTCOMMIT__ marker from NEWS.stable, commit * test (see above). If testsuite fails, check whether bug exists in upstream branch, report to bug-gnu...@gnu.org. * remove the temporary snapshot-start tag $ git tag -d snapshot-start * tag the new release $ git tag stable/mmdd * create and upload tarball: $ git archive --format=tar --prefix=gnulib-mmdd-stable/ stable/mmdd | gzip -9 > ../gnulib-yymmdd-stable.tar.gz * push changes to stable git repository * mail announcement to bug-gnu...@gnu.org #!/bin/sh # stable-cherry-pick -- Cherry-pick commits into current branch and # log them to NEWS.stable.

Some people on debian-security thought gpg had problems with some keys, but couldn't cite anything concrete. However, people are using pgp, and one user mailed me to thank me for maintaining it, so I'm happy to keep maintaining it (at least once the non-US/non-free queue is fixed).

Bug#237370: pgp5i
After asking on debian-security, it appears that there is still a demand for pgp in debian. Although gpg provides a superset of features, it doesn't have IDEA support compiled in (it is patent-encumbered) but pgp, as it is non-US/non-free, can still support IDEA. Packages of pgp5i are at http://nessie.mcc.ac.uk/~ianb/debian/ I will attempt to find a sponsor to get a version with FTBFS fixes into sarge, and then post-sarge upgrade the package to 6.5.8 and rename it to pgpi.

Do > we really need this package? Whoops, this had kind of slipped down my todo list. I've fixed a couple of FTBFS issues, but not really addressed the long-standing bugs in the BTS. I'll upload preliminary packages to http://nessie.mcc.ac.uk/~ianb/debian/ in the next few days. As for whether we still need the package, I'm not sure. The previous maintainer suspected it's not really used any more, and said it is long-dead upstream. I was planning to put a note in README.Debian asking for feedback from people still using it. I don't mind keeping an eye on it for the foreseeable future (although I'll have to find a sponsor), but if you feel it is not worth keeping, by all means remove it from debian.
