Thinking about MR!3 in gearman-server, I think the test dependency is not necessary, also together with the Breaks we have a cycle we with libgearman-client-perl (where the newer version needs the newer gearman-server to build).I hope I'm not wrong, but I will remove the test dependency again, upload gearman-server. and then upload libgearman-client-perl, once gearman-server. is available on the buildds, and we see what happens :)(And if I'm wrong we can always fix it.)
I think I was wrong. Hm.gearman-server 1.130.1-3 is on the buildds (and in my local build repo), but I can't build libgearman-client-perl 2.004.015-2 because it has a test dependency on gearman-server >= 1.130.1-3 _and_ gearman-server has a Breaks on libgearman-client-perl << 2.004.015-2 anda dependency on libgearman-client-perl, so it's uninstallable until libgearman-client-perl 2.004.015-2 exists, which we are trying to build.
I guess I should have seen this before. Oh, well.Maybe we can make libgearman-client-perl build older and newer libgearman-client-perl (temporarily) by removing the version constraint from the build dep and (adjusting the patch) or setting $ENV{GEARMAND_PATH} to a suitable value (/usr/bin/gearmand or
/usr/bin/gearmand-perl) from debian/ruiles. *testing* Oh, it's much easier:- Removing the >= 1.130.1-3~ from the test dependency seems to be enough, - with gearman-server 1.130.1-2 some tests are skipped, as gearmand-perl is not found, but the test suite passes - with gearman-server 1.130.1-3 the tests needing the servers are and pass as well
Not ideal, but this lets us escape the dead end :)(And we can still add the version back after both packages are built and have migrated to testing.)
Hm, maybe we wouldn't have needed the Breaks in gearman-server in the first place? -- Anyway, I think we have a way out now.
