Hi James
>I have uploaded 5.5.2-1~rc2 to mentors. please call it 5.5.2-1 and nothing more :) you can push the same version many times on mentors with no problems. >1) Do I need to send a separate email to this then? I also filed #801793 for a >transition, but that has already been closed as unnecessary since there are no >rdeps. true, nevermind I didn't test carefully rdeps (so we might go directly on unstable then) >I hardly think linking against this static library is an issue. ok >7) I have added arm64, ppc64el and ppc64 what about the "any" keyword? I don't like specifying manually architectures, specially because it makes porters people angry :) porters needs a build failure instead of a build that didn't start at all, except when there is a good reason to not build on a particular architecture e.g. systemd on kfreebsd-* and hurd-* >9) Added (libffi/msvcc.sh is MPL-1.1, GPL-2.0+ or LGPL-2.1+) wonderful >11) It doesn’t seem to work without the debian/tmp/ prefix. The manpage for >dh_install specifically mentions falling back to debian/tmp/, but there is no >such >statement in dh_installman, so I believe you have to specify that >manually. well, no problem >12) I unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright: Fixed by reordering entries >13) I vcs-field-not-canonical: Changed to Vcs-Browser: >https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/polyml.git/ and >Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-science/packages/polyml.git >14) W shlib-with-executable-stack: This is because libpolyml has one assembly >file[1] for x86 (other architectures don’t have any assembly). I have added a >patch under debian/patches which I have also submitted upstream to fix this. > >[1] GNU as defaults to having an executable stack, unlike with GCC etc, and >you have to explicitly tell it to not do so. You can either do this by adding >the magic >'.section .note.GNU-stack, "", @progbits' statement, or by passing >it a command-line argument. The former is apparently generally preferred (and >is what libffi >does in its assembly files). nice to learn something new! thanks a lot I guess we are mostly ready, just go on unstable (urgency=low might be better) think about arch:any and I guess I'll prepare the upload. cheers, G.
