Bug#452022: dpkg-dev: please ignore symbols differences on non-official architectures

Yes.

 What is more worrying is the lack of unofficial arch information in mole.

You're welcome to help make it available. mole is hosted on merkel, its
source code is on a public repository.

Jeroen seemed to think that it shouldn't be too difficult to do. Jeroen,
can you look into it?

 Thus maintainers are not aware of issues with their packages on
 unofficial archs until someeon files a bug.

That's true even for official arches in many cases. :)
Anyway, I have nothing against adding support for unofficial arches
on mole but the unofficial arches need to be made available in some
coherent archive to not have to hardcode an URL for each unofficial
arch.

Be that gnuab.org or doorstep.debian.net, it doesn't matter much.

  Though it's worth asking ourselves if it would make sense to have an
  intermediary fallback between debian/*.symbols.arch and
  debian/*.symbols that would be debian/*.symbols.kernel.
 
 One option would be to use dpkg-architecture provided variables:

I know that, it's precisely because it's easy to do that I suggested it.
If it's useful, I'll implement it.

  Unfortunately I don't really like this idea because sbuild doesn't keep

 This is surely a feature that could be added to sbuild. I asked neuro on
 IRC, I'm waiting his answer.

FWIW, Ryan is not interested to add this feature. 

During the discussion, we came to the conclusion that we should rather
avoid using debian/*.symbols files in favor of debian/*.symbols.arch when
the package maintainer is not sure if there's going to be differences in
the set of symbols for all architectures.

He can use #include to avoid duplicating the content too many times. That
way unofficial arch won't use symbols files until the maintainer
explicitely added support for them.

Bug#452262: dpkg-shlibdeps: Undefined subroutine main::capit.

2007-11-21 Thread Sebastian Harl
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.9
Severity: important

Hi,

When running dpkg-shlibdeps (with the -d command line option) from
debian/rules of one of my packages, it aborts with the following error
message:

  Undefined subroutine main::capit called at /usr/bin/dpkg-shlibdeps line 62.

This subroutine is defined in /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl which no longer gets
included in dpkg-shlibdeps.

TIA,
Sebastian

Bug#452273: dpkg-gencontrol: incorrect warning deb package with udeb specific field Installer-Menu-Item

2007-11-21 Thread Frans Pop
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.9
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

During a build of debian-installer-utils, I got the following warnings:
dh_gencontrol -i
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field 
Installer-Menu-Item
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field 
Installer-Menu-Item
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: deb package with udeb specific field 
Installer-Menu-Item

However, debian-installer-utils does not contain _any_ deb packages,
only udebs. So the warning is clearly incorrect.

The cause may be that the header saying they are a udeb is in the
control file _after_ the header listing the menu item. The code should
probably allow for that.

Example of the control fields for one of the udebs:
Package: di-utils-shell
Architecture: all
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, di-utils (= 1.18)
XB-Installer-Menu-Item: 95000
Description: Execute a shell
XC-Package-Type: udeb

Note that doing so now would _add_ the Package-Type header in control files, 
which I do not think is desired.

2007-11-21 Thread Frans Pop
The actual problem seems to be that XC-Package-Type is not included in %f.
Maybe because of the XC- prefix?

From a debugging session:
%f = (
   'Architecture' = 'all'
   'Depends' = 'cdebconf-udeb, di-utils (= 1.18)'
   'Description' = 'Execute a shell'
   'Installer-Menu-Item' = 95000
   'Maintainer' = 'Debian Install System Team [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
   'Package' = 'di-utils-shell'
   'Priority' = 'standard'
   'Section' = 'debian-installer'
   'Version' = 1.50
)

Note that almost all udebs currently have XC-Package-Type as header
instead of Package-Type, so supporting that would be very much
appreciated.
Should we start converting to use Package-Type?

Bug#452273: Package-Type

2007-11-21 Thread Joey Hess
Frans seems to be spot on, dpkg should honor XC-Package-Type, and
Package-Type should be treated as an implicitly XC field, that is not
propigated into built packages. Unless you have a plan for including
Package-Type in a [u]]deb that I'm unaware of.

It's not included and has never been, because only the ones with B are.
But now it's explicit given that dpkg-gencontrol supports the
field. Package-Type should have been XB- from the beginning. That
information is pertinent to the binary package and not to the changes
file. Also this way dpkg-deb will be able to automatically select the
correct extension, for example. So if there's no other argument I'll
close the bug report tomorrow or so.

Note that apart from the warning the current udebs should build as
before.

 Should we start converting to use Package-Type?

Sure.

No, there is no reason to bloat udebs with this infrormation. This
information is only used when building udebs.
