Bug#896089: cplay: Please move to new upstream source

[Tobias Bengfort]

Package: cplay
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

the version of cplay that is packaged with debian is 7 years old.  The
upstream source is no longer active, but there are two active forks I
know of:  (maintained by myself) and
.

Both forks have fixed several bug, refactored the code to modern
coding python coding standards (e.g. pep8), and support python3. They
have also added support for new backends like gst123 and mpv. My
version is packaged for pypi. We activly share patches.

Note that I started my fork after reporting
.

Given that python2 support will end in 2020, I would like to ask you
to switch to one of these upstream repos. Is there anything we can do
to help with that switch?

Bug#896127: glew: needs config.guess/sub update for riscv64

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Source: glew
Version: 2.0.0-5
Severity: normal
User: debian-ri...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: riscv64

Hi,

We are in the process of bootstrapping a Debian port for the riscv64
architecture (https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V).

The files config.{guess,sub} included in this package are too old to detect this
system.

Debian Policy §4.3 recommends to update these automatically [1], one of the best
ways to achieve this is to depend on newer versions of debhelper and use
dh-autoreconf.

This package is QA-maintained, anybody who reads this please feel free to work
on it and upload :)

"You should make sure that the configure utility detects the correct
architecture specification string (refer to Architecture specification
strings for details).

If your package includes the scripts config.sub and config.guess, you should
arrange for the versions provided by the package autotools-dev be used
instead (see autotools-dev documentation for details how to achieve
that). This ensures that these files can be updated distribution-wide at
build time when introducing new architectures."


Thanks and cheers.
