Hello, a) the recent security update for *stable* broke tabmix as well (not only sid/jessie version) => please tag 690998 appropriatly
b) the build system (how to get the orig.tar.bz2) is not documented,
upstream does not provide those files. Please document the (albeit
simple) procedure in a README.source file. This took me most of the
time.[1]
c) I'm not sure if the upstream site from the watch file is meant for
downloading, it shows strange warnings when logging in with ncftp
d) After creating the orig.tar.bz2 and adding a (simple) changelog
entry, a simple rebuild on stable with tab_mix_plus-0.4.1.0-fx.xpi
worked without error.
e) This rebuild fixes 690998, 690180 and 690798, I haven't yet checked
#691057.
*Please* provide official debs for stable and sid, if there is
any test you would like me to run please contact me. Having tab
handling broken in stable is not a nice situation at all.
(I'm not a DD, so I cannot NMU, but given the trivial update any
developer should be able to reproduce the debs)
Thanks!
Helge
[1] Step by step:
a) create a directory named tabmixplus-0.4.1.0
b) move the xpi within tabmixplus-0.4.1.0
c) cd tabmixplus-0.4.1.0
d) unzip *.xpi
e) rm *.xpi
f) cd ..
g) tar cvjf tabmixplus_0.4.1.0.orig.tar.bz2 tabmixplus-0.4.1.0/
and for the debs
h) cd tabmixplus-0.4.1.0
i) tar xzvf ../tabmixplus_0.4.0.2-1.debian.tar.gz
j) dch -i
k) debuild
