--- Begin Message ---Package: gdb Version: 6.8-3 Severity: minor Usertags: 3.0-quilt-by-default To prepare a possible switch to the new source package format "3.0 (quilt)" [1], I converted all source packages and tried to rebuild them. Unfortunately, gdb failed, you can try yourself with those commands (and dpkg-dev >= 1.14.19 [2]) : $ apt-get source gdb $ sed -i -e '/^Source:/ aFormat: 3.0 (quilt)' gdb-6.8/debian/control $ dpkg-source -b gdb-6.8 $ dpkg-source -x gdb_6.8-3.dsc $ cd gdb-6.8 && debuild -us -uc In this process, if the .diff.gz contains changes to upstream files, dpkg-source will have created a corresponding patch in debian/patches/debian-changes-6.8-3 and will have registered that patch in a quilt series (debian/patches/series, it is created if needed). All the patches listed in the "series" file are applied directly during the extraction (dpkg-source -x). quilt itself is used if available (and will thus lead to the creation of the .pc directory), otherwise dpkg-source applies the patches by itself. For more information about the new source package format see the manual page dpkg-source(1). In the case of gdb, it already uses quilt but some of the patches require the '-p0' option of patch to be properly applied and this option has been hardcoded in the series file. The new source package format doesn't support this quilt feature and requires patches to be applicable with the '-p1' option. You can use the following command to easily update all the patches that use the '-p0' option: $ awk '{ if ($2 == "-p0") print $1 }' debian/patches/series | while read f; do perl -pi -e 's|^--- (?:\./)?|--- a/|; s|^\+\+\+ (?:\./)?|+++ b/|;' debian/patches/$f ; done Not that you can replace "a" by "gdb-6.8.orig" and "b" by "gdb-6.8" if you prefer. Then don't forget to strip the "-p0" options from debian/patches/series. As a side note, you must also pay attention to the following points in your quilt usage to guarantee compatibility with the new source package format: - the patches must be in debian/patches/ together with the "series" file (you can use QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches if needed) - you should not override QUILT_PC to change the location of quilt's internal directory (".pc" by default) - the patches should not reference absolute filenames (in +++/--- lines) - your clean target must work even if the patches are already applied - your build target must work with patches applied even if the clean target is supposed to unapply them (because dpkg-source -b might have applied them back) Cheers, [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/04/msg00004.html [2] the upcoming dpkg-dev 1.14.20 is more tolerant with patches, you can grab it here if you want to try with that version: http://people.debian.org/~hertzog/packages/dpkg-dev_1.14.20_all.deb -- Raphael Hertzog

Highlights since GDB 6.8 (for more, see the NEWS file): - Python scripting support. This is experimental; the interfaces are subject to change. Some example scripts are packaged, including STL pretty-printers for libstdc++. - Improved preprocessor macro support. - Non-stop debugging support (for 32-bit i386 only). You can stop just one thread of interest while the others continue to run. - Improved tab completion, including C structure fields. - Faster remote debugging. - Compressed debug information support; the new "gold" linker can generate compressed debug sections. - New "find" command to search memory. * Build depend on zlib1g-dev and python-dev. * Removed bfd-get-mtime-less.patch, gdb-rbreak-quoting.patch, ia64-array-bound.patch, cp-support-uninit.patch, and m68k-nat-build-fix.patch, merged upstream. * Build depend on procps for testsuite cleanup calls to "kill". * Remove use of -p0 in series file (Closes: #484945).
