RFS: qgfe -- QT Gnuplot Front End
Hallo mentors, I have a second version of the qgfe package that I builded after the review of the first one as listed previously in debian-mentors. It compiles nicely with dpkg under i386-sid and also under amd64-etch. It is a good software in combination with gnuplot, xfig and texmacs for math-teachers to write quickly high-quality texts and is a long waited package for many debian users, I think. Name: qgfe-1.0 Licence: GPL v. 2 Architecture: any Description: QGFE is a Graphical front end for Gnuplot to make life easier using Gluplot. The only similar package is based on tcl and is very very old and unmantained.

* Giorgio Pioda [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070505 10:09]: I have a second version of the qgfe package that I builded after the review of the first one as listed previously in debian-mentors. the first problems I stumbled over: - It does not honor DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS (policy 10.1, I guess only some but CXXFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) is needed as argument for $(MAKE)) - clean does not remove the build qgfe binary nor the generated the Makefile - there is no manpage (policy 12.1) - there is no menu entry, see menufile(5). - it ships a full copy of the GPL in .deb. If it is read somewhere, either change that place to read the file already installed on every Debian system or replace it with a link. If it is not used, just remove it. - do you know where the icons are from and what copyright they are. Google find a file education_mathematics.png in rpm packages having the same md5sum and filesize, so perhaps they are taken from somwhere else without attribution. - why do you specify a Dependency on libqt3-mt for the .deb in debian/control manually? (And with a version without epoch, so it gets even stranger?) Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R. Link -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

build two binary packages with different configure parameters
Hi, I have a package which uses debhelper at build time, and is built by a rather simple configure - make - make install triathlon. As it fails badly on xen, the xen people ask to provide a xen-enabled binary package. Thus, I need to build the package once with a normal configure, and a second time with configure --with-extra-libs=foo. The rest of the build process is identical. All packages that I have seen which do this duplicate the entire build process in debian/rules by having configure-foo, configure-bar, build-foo, build-bar, install-foo and install-bar targets along with all stamps explicitly doubled. I hate the idea of having to do this with my package just to have a single different configure call. Is there any more elegant way to do this? If so, which package uses it that I can steal from? Any hints will be appreciated. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | I don't trust Computers.

If so, which package uses it that I can steal from? vim is referenced as a prototype for multiple binary packages with different compilation variations. It's perhaps not clear from the large rules, but it really does handle 10+ such packages, and only calls configure once (configure-stamp-%:, this is quite probably not portable make) and this includes a make clean to remove the earlier-compiled binaries objects and such for compilation of the current binary. Usually make is supposed to be as parallelized as possible; as such, rules that call $(MAKE) again are pretty inelegant. However, for this case, you want to avoid parallelizing it: the compilations must be serial not concurrent. In fact the template debian/rules created by dhmake does this: |binary-common: [... dh foo ...] |# Build architecture independant packages using the common target. |binary-indep: build-indep install-indep |$(MAKE) -f debian/rules DH_OPTIONS=-i binary-common | |# Build architecture dependant packages using the common target. |binary-arch: build-arch install-arch |$(MAKE) -f debian/rules DH_OPTIONS=-s binary-common The debhelper commands look at the DH_OPTIONS from the environment so the arch/indep targets do different things and build different packages.

Well, it is not necessary, but helps $USER to control the mouse. You need to write some hex-values to /dev/usb/hiddevX to change the settings of the mouse, and as this file is owned by root, you need either to be root or to change the permissions... The possibilities to work with are: 1. let the binary as it is, and tell $USER he has to use sudo or su 2. set the binary suid-root (the code looks OK for me - IANASE) 3. create some new group and let udev give this group write permission to the 'file' - IMHO overkill for such a small util I could live with 1, but I think 2 is more userfriendly. You set CFLAGS in debian/rules and then patch Makefile to contain the same CFLAGS. I'd remove the CFLAGS from Makefile at all to leave only one place to change (if there is need). Hm, yeah. The problem is, I need -DVERSION=foo in CFLAGS, which I think I should not set from debian/rules... I've changed the patch now to -CFLAGS=-Os -DVERSION=\$(V)\ +CFLAGS += -DVERSION=\$(V)\ and call CFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) $(MAKE) from debian/rules - why the hell I need to set them before make?
