I'll double check what's pending. Luckily these packages should be very straightforward. I remember one concern from one of the co-maintainers about maybe introducing a separate package for harec and I think I also spotted a directory in the binary package that could be not compliant with the Debian policy and the expected filesystem layout. However, those issues should be quick to sort, I hope. I'll check what's up and post an update on the hare ITP bug (#1058645) soon. -- Miguel Landaeta, miguel at miguel.cc secure email with PGP 0x6E608B637D8967E9 available at http://keyserver.pgp.com/ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." -- Nietzsche

Bug#1058646: ITP: qbe -- Small embeddable C compiler backend
Hi folks, I apologize I took me this long to work on qbe upload. Guilherme, thanks for contributing a man page for qbe. I just included it in the package. Can you also reach out to upstream and send your man page contribution there, so you can gather feedback and other users can benefit if they decide to merge it? Amin, I took some bias for action and I just uploaded the latest changes in debian/latest to the archive. However, my upload just got rejected because I forgot to include the source changes and did only a binary upload. I don't have time today to fix that and retry so I'll do that tomorrow unless you do it first (if you want or if you have more changes pending that you want to include in the first upload). I'll paste a link to this package NEW queue entry later so other users can have visibility on the progress. Thanks for your contributions!

As you mentioned, this package is almost ready to be uploaded so I'll try to prioritize it and upload it during the weekend.

I have written a very simple man page for qbe (see attached patch). I have never actually used qbe directly, so I'm not sure what else should be documented there. I figured that the cli options were a good starting point, though. I'm very interested in getting hare package since I have some personal software built with it.

Hi again Amin, I just pushed my repo to Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/qbe The package builds fine on my machine but I didn't test this qbe release yet with hare. I'll try to do that tomorrow when I push my hare repo as well. I think qbe is almost ready for an upload but it's missing a man page and probably just need a review from another DD to be sure I didn't miss anything important.

Sounds great, thanks in advance! FWIW I was browsing Hare's website again earlier, and saw this bit on https://harelang.org/installation: Step 0: Pre-requisites [...] QBE (the latest version on the git master branch, not the latest versioned release) Though I think/hope that that's a remnant from earlier times before Hare's first versioned release. Hare's new release policy at https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/hare/tree/master/item/docs/release.md is more reassuring: The Hare toolchain's chief dependency is qbe. Each Hare version is pinned to a specific qbe release, which is documented in the release notes corresponding to that Hare version. So I'm hopeful that at this point and onwards, Hare would depend on tagged release versions of qbe rather than git trunk commits. > If you want, I can add you as co-maintainer. > > Cheers, > Miguel. Sure, that would be great - many thanks. :-) Best, -amin

I'll push my repo tomorrow or during the weekend to salsa and update this thread with the link. I started to work on this package a few weeks ago but I decided to wait for qbe 1.2 before uploading a package and I just noticed it finally happened this week so I was planning to resume my work on it. I don't have time to work on it this weekend but I'll publish it in a few hours to unblock you and other folks interested in collaborating. If you want, I can add you as co-maintainer.

Hi Miguel, I'm interested in helping with this. Do you have the current state of your work available on Salsa or elsewhere that I could pull in and work on? Otherwise I'll just start with a repo under my own account and we could later transfer it to the 'debian' group or elsewhere. Thanks, -a

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Miguel Landaeta X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org * Package name: qbe Version : 1.1 Upstream Contact: Quentin Carbonneaux * URL : https://c9x.me/compile/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: C Description : Small embeddable C compiler backend QBE is a compiler backend that aims to provide 70% of the performance of industrial optimizing compilers in 10% of the code. QBE fosters language innovation by offering a compact user-friendly and performant backend. The size limit constrains QBE to focus on the essential and prevents embarking on a never-ending path of diminishing returns. QBE is a build-dependency of Hare. See https://c9x.me/compile/users.html for other QBE language frontends.
