Bug#494191: Allowing a FTBFS-free qhull package into testing

2008-08-14 Thread Rafael Laboissiere 
* Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-08-11 08:57]:

 Please upload, but:
 
 | +  * debian/rules: Use sed instead of eperl to generate the man pages.
 | +Eperl is buggy on hppa (see Bug#49419) and the package FTBFS there.
 
 Bug number looks like a typo.

Thanks for the heads up.  I fixed the typo and uploaded the package to t-p-u.
An aside note: version 2003.1-11, which contains the fixed in 2003.1-9lenny1
and was uploaded to unstable, built correctly on hppa.  I think that the
package in t-p-u should be allowed into lenny. 
 
Cheers,

Bug#494191: Allowing a FTBFS-free qhull package into testing

2008-08-07 Thread Rafael Laboissiere 
The qhull package currently FTBFS on hppa [1].  I investigated the issue
closely and found that the culprit is the eperl package [2] which hangs on
hppa.  It seems that problems with eperl started to happen after version
2.2.14-15.1+b1 was uploaded, which was built against perl 5.10 (according to
the Debian changelog, on May 2, 2008).  Indeed, version 2003.1-9 of qhull
built correctly [3] on penalosa on April 21, 2008, against eperl version
2.2.14-15.1.

I prepared a new package for qhull that differs minimally from the version
currently in testing (2003.1-9) and would like to know whether it is
possible to upload it to testing-proposed-updates.  I did this because the
version currently in unstable (2003.1-10lenny1, this is a misnomer, sorry)
has extra changes from 2003.1-9.

Anyway, the debdiff between 2003.1-9 and 2003.1-9lenny1 is attached below.
It is extremely thin, with the essential change being only one line in
debian/rules.  Sed is used instead of eperl for building the manpages
lacking upstream.  I put the package in a repository on people.d.o [4], for
your appreciation.

Please, consider allowing this version into testing-proposed-updates.
