Bug#991815: RFA: sfst -- Stuttgart finite-state transducer tools
Hello Akshay, thank you for your interest in adopting the package! I uploaded the git repository I used for maintaining SFST to https://salsa.debian.org/rsennrich/sfst It's missing the changes that Roland Stigge made in the last version (1.4.7b-1), but should be a good starting point regardless. I'm unfortunately hazy about the exact workflow (part of the reason I'm giving the package up for adoption), but syncing in the new upstream version, then merging that the debian-specific changes (in patch-queue/master) would be the first steps before you then build and test the package. best wishes, Rico On Mon, 16 Aug 2021 16:51:45 +0530 Akshay S Dinesh wrote: > I'm interested in adopting.

Bug#991815: RFA: sfst -- Stuttgart finite-state transducer tools
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I no longer have the bandwidth to continue maintaining packages, and request an adopter for the sfst package. sfst isn't very labor-intensive - there's occasional changes from upstream to be merged in. The package description is: SFST is a toolbox for the implementation of morphological analysers and other tools which are based on finite state transducer technology. The SFST tools comprise . * a compiler which translates transducer programs into minimised transducers * interactive and batch-mode analysis programs
Bug#702488: sfst: FTBFS on powerpcspe
Hi Roland,
thank you for sponsoring the package!
* What error in the build process do you get? I encountered build errors
on both amd64 and powerpcspe _without_ my patch, e.g.:
But this happens depending on whether I run debian/rules clean in the
unstable chroot or not.
Did you encounter similar issues? Are you sure you built in a clean
unstable chroot?
sfst 1.4.6g-1 builds successfully in a clean unstable chroot (amd64).
Since I have changed the build process quite a bit compared to sfst
1.2.0-1.2 (which had some non-upstream stuff in its *orig.tar.gz), I
suggest you give it a try.
So I'm not convinced that build errors are coming from my patch which
looks good and works also in other packages's configure.ac's.
I rechecked in a clean unstable chroot, with the same result. After
applying the patch, I get the following error:
checking for getopt_long... yes
configure: error: conditional AMDEP was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.
...
configure: exit 1

* There are some lintian warnings about hardening flags etc. Please
consider fixing the issues or add lintian overrides
most of those are fixed in 1.4.6g-1.
* At this stage in the release process, I would prefer dist
experimental rather that unstable to make work on th wheezy release
easier.
done.
* Please use
debian/source/format 3.0 (quilt), so we can sort out better what
changes are supposed to fix what, and prevent unintended changes by
generated stuff, especially due to autoreconfing.
done.
best wishes,
Rico
