A patch is attached. It's completely untested, but it does compile. I
made one other change, documented in the changelog fragment below, to
get rid of some of the nastier compiler warnings. There are a large
number of other warnings which should be dealt with at some point, but
they don't seem so urgent.

  * Port from  to  (closes: #194913).
  * Modern glibc needs us to use  rather than .

Cheers,

Wrong URL for xanim-modules

[Michael Müller]

Hi,

the URL in the description ('Home Page: http://xanim.va.pubnix.com/')
and from which the binaries shall be downloaded
('ftp://xanim.va.pubnix.com/dlls/') isn't active any more.

Where is the new place?

Best regards

Michael

New version of libgdbm and how it affects your package(s)

[James Troup]

[ This is an automated mail. ]

Hi,

I've just uploaded a new version of gdbm to the archives.  It's
currently available from queue/accepted (i.e. http://incoming.debian.org/)
and will hit mirrors in the next cron.daily at 6:52 GMT tomorrow
(2003-06-04).

It looks like this will affect the following packages you maintain:

 saml: saml_970418-10

 xkbsel: xkbsel_0.13-13.1

The new version of gdbm bumps the library soname (from 2 to 3) and
also the -dev package has been renamed to libgdbm-dev.  Please update
your build-depends and recompile your package.  Although the ABI has
changed, I don't think the API has, so no source changes should be
required.

The only exception to that is stuff using the old dbm and ndbm
compatibility functions; they've been split out into a separate
library, so in the unlikely event your package still uses them you'll
need to explicitly link in the new gdbm_compat library (or even better
update the code to use gdbm functions instead).

The on-disk format of the database has _not_ changed; it should be a
transparent upgrade in that regard.

Given the small number of packages affected, no old -dev package has
been created, so as of today's dinstall run, your package will become
unbuildable from source (an RC bug).  I'll file those bugs in a
couple/several weeks time; this mail is just a heads up.

gdbm is glacially slow upstream; I don't anticipate another soname
change soon (the last one was ~10 years ago :), but I apologize in
advance for the inconvenience.

Package: fastlink
Version: 4.1P-fix88-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I was about to do a QA upload of fastlink to fix RC bug #194913, but
then I noticed that it already has a maintainer despite having
"Maintainer: Debian QA Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" in its control
file! I'm X-Debbugs-Cc:ing the actual maintainer, who I guess isn't
seeing the bug reports as a result.

Cheers,
