after attending the
Munich
BSP 3 weeks ago (thanks for inviting me, & thanks especially to
Stefan for hosting me) I've tasted blood & started to look at our
RC bugs more often. I'm
still far from zack's
RCBW
frequency; but I thought I'd give a short overview anyway; maybe it
motivates others to chime in? – So here's a list of RC bugs I've
touched in the last weeks (not counting some
merges in the BTS):
#375025 – libzorpll: "libzorpll: FTBFS on GNU/kFreeBSD (due to unsatisfied Build-Depends on libcap-dev)"
apply patch from the BTS, upload to DELAYED/2 (ok, technically not RC)#544879 – clutter: "Missing libclutter-doc package"
add comment at turmzimmer and BTS#548616 – licq: "fails to build with gcc-4.4"
apply patch from the BTS, upload#553009 – libzorpll3.0.6: "libzorpll3.0.6: postinst-must-call-ldconfig /usr/lib/libzorpll-3.0.so.6.4.0 by the dynamic library loader. Therefore, the package must call "ldconfig" in its postinst script."
create post{rm,inst} and add dh_makeshlibs, upload to DELAYED/2#553230 – libapache2-mod-macro: "libapache2-mod-macro: missing-dependency-on-libc needed by ./usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_macro.so but the package doesn't depend on the C library package. Normally this indicates that ${shlibs: Depends} was omitted from the Depends line for this package in debian/control."
apply patch from the BTS, upload to DELAYED/2#553560 – chiark-backup: "chiark-backup: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile /etc/chiark-backup/snap/nosnap"
add file to conffiles, upload to DELAYED/5#556214 – pyspi: "pyspi: FTBFS: Error: pkg-config could not find x11"
apply patch from the BTS, upload to DELAYED/2#559077 – google-gadgets-common: "google-gadgets-common: needs to depend on shared-mime-info because of postinst"
add comment at turmzimmer#560637 – src:libdatetime-format-dateparse-perl: "libdatetime-format-dateparse-perl: FTBFS: tests failed"
apply patch from upstream bug tracker, upload (ok, I'm in Uploaders)
remarks:
- so gar I got 4 "thank you" mails, two offers to adopt a
package, & no complaints.
- we really have interesting packages in the archive; look at this nice
stanza in the PTS:
Lintian reports 5 errors and 221 warnings about this package. You should
make the package lintian clean getting rid of them.
