Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Dear release team, Please unblock package gcc-mingw-w64; the version in unstable fixes a release-critical bug causing /usr/share/doc/gcc-mingw-w64 to be empty when upgrading from versions before it became a symlink. The package is over ten days old but hasn't build on kfreebsd-amd64 or mips yet; I've asked for a giveback on the former (the build failure is due to #637236 on gcc-4.6; repeating the build produces a correct build eventually) and pinged the buildd admins concerning the latter. The debdiff is as follows: diff -Nru gcc-mingw-w64-6/debian/changelog gcc-mingw-w64-7/debian/changelog --- gcc-mingw-w64-6/debian/changelog 2012-05-05 18:31:42.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc-mingw-w64-7/debian/changelog 2012-08-08 08:21:59.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +gcc-mingw-w64 (7) unstable; urgency=low + + * When upgrading from versions where /usr/share/doc/gcc-mingw-w64 is a + directory, force its replacement with a symlink (Closes: #683617). + + -- Stephen Kitt <st...@sk2.org> Wed, 08 Aug 2012 08:21:56 +0200 + gcc-mingw-w64 (6) unstable; urgency=low * Handle the different split-package versions in Ubuntu and Debian. diff -Nru gcc-mingw-w64-6/debian/gcc-mingw-w64.postinst gcc-mingw-w64-7/debian/gcc-mingw-w64.postinst --- gcc-mingw-w64-6/debian/gcc-mingw-w64.postinst 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc-mingw-w64-7/debian/gcc-mingw-w64.postinst 2012-08-08 08:10:09.000000000 +0200 @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +#!/bin/sh +set -e + +# Replace documentation directory with symlink +if [ -d /usr/share/doc/gcc-mingw-w64 ] && [ ! -L /usr/share/doc/gcc-mingw-w64 ]; then + if rmdir /usr/share/doc/gcc-mingw-w64 2>/dev/null; then + ln -sf gcc-mingw-w64-base /usr/share/doc/gcc-mingw-w64 + fi +fi + +#DEBHELPER# + +exit 0 unblock gcc-mingw-w64/8 Thanks, Stephen -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Foreign Architectures: mingw64-i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
