https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/coreboot/coreboot_24.08+dfsg-1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
coreboot (24.08+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release.
* New release numbering after 4.22 is Year.Month.Sub
* d/changelog, d/watch: switch to +dfsg repack style as ~dfsg will
break coreboot's build when adding images (future change, but
best done with new release numbering)
* Add missing man pages as auto generated ones are broken or missing
* Add cbmem to install file
* d/control: update Standards-Version from 4.5.0 to 4.6.2
* d/control: update Maintainer from QA
* d/control: switch docs package to Suggests
* d/control: add docs build dependency myst-parser
* d/control: remove help2man dependency after drafting manpages
* d/copyright: redo all entries after major changes to source tree
* d/copyright: exclude python windows binaries with no source
* d/rules: add CFLAG to produce more debug symbols (still not all tools)
* d/rules: remove man page generation
* d/rules: override clean target to avoid tracked file (src/sbom/TAGS)
being removed by builtin dh_clean
* d/clean: remove nonexistent files in new release
* Add patch to remove version hack into documentation conf to allow
clean source and multiple builds
* util/intelmetool: Add patch to append include path to CFLAGS to
allow it to build after upstream change
* Remove vboot-Werror patch as there is no blocking warning/error
Notes on this upload:
- d/copyright is pretty complicated and lrc produces several false
positives (e.g BSD-3-Clause-AMD | BSD-3-Clause), but also there
are perhaps misunderstandings I have like (Expat | MIT) where I'm
not sure to follow the documentation that says "use Expat instead"
or should I switch to MIT
- Package contacts were not there in the previous version and I
haven't added them.
- Standard version updated to only 4.6.2 so I can keep developing it
on bookworm for the time being (along with trixie)
- manpages written were forwarded upstream, but still too early to
tell if they'll accept them
- Lint X: very-long-line-length-in-source-file -> those are binary
video bios files, not text files. Again, from the original.
Can these be ignored or should there be an exception for them?
- Lint W: debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols -> I added debug symbols
to more utilities, but I think the remaining ones need a Makefile
patch. The additional debug symbols I added may have resulted in:
lint I: file-references-package-build-path
