Bug#402589: mzscheme debian packages

2007-11-22 Thread Artem Baguinski
i guess i'll just have to give it a try then.

At the moment I refreshed the patches, removed a couple of obsolete
ones and made it buildable. I can build and install the binary
packages, but I get tons of messages from lintian and dpkg-shlibdeps
some of which make no sense to me. But I get the same messages when
building 360, so may be it's something wrong with my sid chroot.

what's the best way to let you have a look at the state I'm at? I
could make svn diff of the ./debian directory and direct you to the
original tarball... Or just send you the drscheme_371-1_i386.build
file ?

 but nobody has actually sat down to do the work. If you feel comfortable
 enough, you can start working on updating the package currently in
 subversion at svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-plt-scheme/drscheme/trunk.
 Note that there are some outstanding items in the TODO.Debian and the
 bug tracker that could be fixed fairly easily.
 I'd be glad to help you out with questions along the way, but note that
 this is slightly more complex than the average Debian package.
 Eventually if there's enough interest, the pkg-plt-scheme project can be
 used to coordinate all of the packages that depend on PLT Scheme (though
 hopefully not that depend on the drscheme/mzscheme libraries, since
 those change names with every version).

  If not, or if it has low priority for you, would you consider helping

  packaging and would like to learn more...
