I've updated the debian package for libzeep. There's a change in the
SONAME so it has to go through new.
The package contains the new code for libzeep 6 as well as new
documentation. I used to use the boost docbook tools but those cause a
few problems and besides, every kid on the block is moving towards
Sphinx and ReadTheDocs these days. As an old man I like to pretend I'm
hip as well.
Anyway, using sphinx introduces a lot of lintian warnings. Mostly
related to the fact that sphinx documentation installs its own copy of
jquery and a couple of fonts. My guess is that more packages in debian
use sphinx so before I start to work around this I'd like to know if
others have solved this 'problem' already. Or should I simply ignore the
warnings?
Another problem with my package is that the reprotest fails on salsa.
The actual error it stumbles upon has to do with locales. It seems that
something is fishy with the installation of locales on the machine where
the tests run. The test code tries to create a locale namen nl_NL.UTF-8
and then checks if the name of the result is the same as the name
requested to be sure it really got the correct locale. That check should
not be required since if that locale is not installed, the C++ standard
says an exception should be thrown but that doesn't happen, sometimes,
recently, on Debian. I can skip those tests, but I'd like to know why
they are failing. Not sure who to contact for this.
A review of the current package of libzeep at salsa would also be very
much appreciated.
