I agree.  My proposed implementation is to deprecate the ChangeLog file
in the repository, follow to commit log requirements, and use the
gitlog-to-changelog tool to generate the ChangeLog file from logs
at "make dist" time:

Ok.  Still fine to fix it now if there is a safe and reliable change.
Like I said, I don't want to rush the release--just want to stop its delays.

I don't have any particular preferences or feelings about this for strace.
Whatever people here think is best will be OK with me as long as it is
something coherent, understandable and followed consistently, and is no
less informative that the ChangeLog entries we write now.

I think it is nice to have something in tarballs so that you don't have to
be on the net (or have snarfed the repo) to refer to git to know the
history.  But really I think it's more important that we not have any
misleading outdated cruft files in the tarballs than that future
hackers/contributors working without git have all the logs.

> Unless Denys is going to resurrect this change soon, I can try.

Denys is changing job responsibilities within Red Hat, and I'm not sure he
will be doing much more on strace.  So unless he pipes up soon, don't wait.

I pushed these changes to branch ldv/master, please have a look whether
it's OK for master.

BTW, we probably have to accept some guideline about maintaining ChangeLog
file in git.  Whether to reflect changes there along with changes themself
using single commit, or make this file autogenerated using
gitlog-to-changelog tool, etc.
I suppose that experience of other free software projects migrated from
CVS to GIT several years earlier than strace (e.g. coreutils) may be a
good point to start with.

Commit v4.5.18-96-geb9e2e8 which reverts a lot of unapproved changes
introduces regressions.  For example, in system without /proc mounted,
command "strace -f -o/dev/null autoreconf -fisv" executed in strace
directory produces "/proc/N/status: No such file or directory" messages.
Stracing long-running command like "./configure" also causes these
messages when interrupted by SIGINT.

Is there any need to hurry with 4.5.19 release?

I sent the build logs to the porters lists and asked for help,
considering the importance of the package I am sure we will get some
feedback soon :)


One last thing:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=437928

contains a couple of missing system calls on hppa, if you add those we
can close that bug too.

Sorry if you did not get good response here before.  Each of those patches
needs to be evaluated and discussed here individually.  This won't make the
4.5.17 release, which I'm doing shortly.

Please post each different patch one at a time, with ChangeLog entries
(before the patch, not in diff form), and explanation about the need for
each change.


Thanks,

The sparc kernel removed its asm/a.out.h, meaning linux/a.out.h also goes.
I don't know what we ever needed it for, but it's obsolete now.  I removed
the #include.  If there is still a sparc build issue, we'll have to follow
that up later.

> hppa

These are both due to the build's installed  (from glibc) being
bogus, or at least incompatible with the kernel headers.  I'd call that a
bug for the Debian glibc or kernel-headers packages, really.

In upstream hppa glibc, sys/user.h is empty so it's harmless.
It looks like it's an #error stub for m68k.

People who actually build on those machines will have to tell us what
works.  We could make the use of the header conditional.  I'm not going to
do anything before someone really tries out a patch on these machines.

Re: 4.5.17 release soon!

2008-07-19 Thread Frederik Schueler
Hi,

find attached all pending changes for the debian dir.

Today the Debian release team announced the final freeze date to be this
coming week, it would be great to get the release ready until then.

The changes in the patch:

* debian/control: Add strace64 package.
Fixes: Debian#491167, Debian#491188
* debian/rules: Use debhelper flag --same-arch instead of --arch in
order to build strace64 only on the specified architectures.
* debian/strace64.install: New file, list for dh_install.
* debian/strace64.manpages: New file, list for dh_install.
* debian/changelog: Add prereleases entries.


Best regards

wasn't the linux/a.out.h export re-enabled?

{linux,asm}/user.h aren't exported since quite some time now, IIRC.

Hi!

this is great news =)

I will send you an updated debian dir patch later today.

There are build problems on three architectures:

sparc
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=strace&ver=4.5.16%2Bcvs20080708-2&arch=sparc&stamp=1216312916&file=log

hppa
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=strace&ver=4.5.16%2Bcvs20080708-2&arch=hppa&stamp=1216312996&file=log

and m68k
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=strace&ver=4.5.16%2Bcvs20080708-1&arch=m68k&stamp=1216264430&file=log

it all looks autoconf related to me.

best regards
Frederik Schüler

I've accumulated a handful of patches to cope with some failures here,
fwiw:
http://repo.or.cz/w/buildroot.git?a=tree;f=package/strace;hb=master
(I've sent those to this list some time ago but don't remember any
feedback).
The only hunk that i'm undecided on is the strace-undef-syscall.patch
which was needed for ARM_EABI which doesn't declare those obsolescent
syscalls: Should they be cought nevertheless like the patch does, or
should they be unavailable if the respective syscalls are unavailable
(since suddenly going EABI->OABI will do no good anyway)?

thanks and cheers,
Bernhard

4.5.17 release soon!

2008-07-17 Thread Roland McGrath
Hi!  I got through some more backlog today.  I think what's in cvs now is
close to all we should do before 4.5.17 goes out.

If there are regressions from 4.5.16 or bugs with simple fixes, please tell
me ASAP.  If I don't hear objections by the weekend, I'll release 4.5.17 on
the weekend or Monday.

Whatever else is outstanding we can address for the next release.  I'll try
not to let it go so long this time.  We can have a new release whenever we
have several stable new fixes in.

I've updated NEWS and strace.spec with everything I think they'll have for
the release as of this moment.  I think the .spec log entry covers all the
open (non-RFE) RH bug #s (that aren't clones of another covered one).


Thanks,
Roland
