The new upstream release (3.2.2) fixes the current FTBFS bug (#747784).
I made a trial version of a package based on the new release, and I'm
attaching what I did as a patch against the 3.1.5+dfsg-1 debian directory.
Hopefully this will give someone else a headstart on making an actual
package.
I also had to create a modified "dfsg" tarball using the following procedure:
* Unpack upstream tarball
* Rename directory by adding +dfsg suffix
* Remove debian directory
* Unpack waf using commands from https://wiki.debian.org/UnpackWaf
* Repack tarball with appropriate .orig.tar.xz name
Hope this helps.
The staged 3.2.1 xiphos packaging in git repository managed with dgit
already had all the repacking rules as get-orig-source target in
debian/rules.
I've now bumped this to 3.2.2 and uploaded.
3.2.1 was failing to build from source with gcc4.9, but that is now
resolved in 3.2.2. (Didn't track down exact problem/bug)
Regards,
Dimitri.
