If it is held again in San Francisco (economy, tech market, etc) I usually
take charge of the booth here.  As the time comes closer we discuss
somethings here and on a Bay Area mailing list.


I'm in San Francisco, and this is the first I've heard about a Bay Area 
list.  Could you tell me about it?
Thanks.

Replacing a single file with Replaces:

2002-11-12 Thread Karolina Lindqvist
In the policy manual, section 7.5.1 "Overwriting files in other packages" it 
says:
"However, if the overwriting package declares that it Replaces the one 
containing the file being overwritten, then dpkg will replace the file from 
the old package with that from the new. The file will no longer be listed as 
`owned' by the old package. "

I read that to mean that you can actually replace a single file from a 
package, in another package. But I can't get that to work. If I put 
"Replaces:" and the package name which I want to replace a file in, dpkg 
still aborts and says that the file exists in multiple packages. 

How to get this feature to work, to replace a single file in a package from 
within another package?

Different libc versions accross architectures.

2002-11-12 Thread Hilko Bengen
Looking at the buildd logs of my ulog-acctd package today
(http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=ulog-acctd), I noticed that
the build process had failed on some architectures (s390, arm, m68k)
because ipt_ULOG.h which got introduced into libc6-dev at some point
(I haven't found out when, yet) was missing there.

What should I do? 

I was thinking about putting ipt_ULOG.h into the source package. Since
ipt_ULOG.h is distributed with the kernel sources (it is part of
netfilter), that should work on these architectures.

Or should I just wait? Will the current situation keep my package from
going into testing as long as no newer version of libc6[-dev] for
those architectures is available?

Thanks,
-Hilko Bengen

It looks like open() is being called with O_CREAT | O_EXCL and so
creation will fail if the file is already present.

It looks like all the files are pre-existing.  Try running dpkg-source
-b from another directory or renaming the noteedit-2.0.16 directory?

That might be the problem, so please bear me with some questions so that I get 
this very clear to me:

When you take a tar file from somewhere and make a debian package of it, 
should it be unchanged from upstream or can it be modified?

For example, should (in this case) noteedit_2.0.16.orig.tar.gz extract to 
noteedit, noteedit-2.0.16 or noteedit-2.0.16.orig? Does it matter?

Can the source tar file be called noteedit-2.0.16.tar or should it be renamed 
to noteedit_2.0.16.orig.tar

If there is an old debian directory in the upstreams tar file, for some old 
debian version. Should that be removed?

If there are bin-files or *.o files or similar in the upstreams tar file. 
Should they be removed?

In KDE applications, normally a "make -f Makefile.cvs" (or similar) is done 
before the upstreams tar file is packed. But often that is done with another 
version of automake than debian is using. Often an old automake1.4 or 
something. If some changes are needed to the *.am files, that will create 
problems due to automake incompatibilites. If no changes to the *.am files is 
needed, it might work even with incompatible versions, since automake is 
never called, but it might create trouble if something is changed.

One solution is to make a "make -f Makefile.cvs" before building it on debian, 
but then the diffs with all the Makefile.in files etc. will become huge. Can 
that be done before packing the *.orig.tar file, to avoid rebuilding problems 
and making the diffs small?

Many questions, but it is things that I have been wondering about.

... And then yet another question. When I get the following error message:

In file included from knat_toolbar.cpp:18:

knat.moc:18: #error "cannot be used with the include files from this version

Oobviously I need to rebuild the *.moc files that comes from upstreams that 
are not deleted by "make distclean". Sometimes that goes automatically by the 
Makefile if the moc file is removed.  How should I handle this gracefully? 
Delete the *.moc files from the *.orig.tar file, delete them in the 
debian/rules files, delete them in the "clean" rule or something else?

ndbm.h and libc ...

2002-11-12 Thread Sven Luther
Hello, ...

I have a package who can build ndbm support.

Prior to libc6 2.3.1, /usr/include/db1/ndbm.h was included with
libc6-dev, and the package builded correctly.

Since then this file is no more included, but libgdbmg1-dev contains a
/usr/include/gdbm-ndbm.h. 

Is this file equivalent to the previous one ?
Using it requires patching all over the source to change the ndbm.h
includes into gdbm-ndbm.h ones.

Is using /usr/include/gdbm-ndbm.h the right solution, or does a copy of
/usr/include/db1/ndbm.h still be included in a non obvious place ?

Friendly,

Sven Luther
