[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#582595: grass: please rebuild against tcl/tk 8.5 in experimental
Source: grass
Version: 6.4.0~rc6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: pkg-tcltk-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: UpgradeDefaultTclTkTo85
Hi Francesco. :)
The default Tcl/Tk version in unstable (as set by tcltk-defaults)
is 8.4, whereas the version in experimental is 8.5. Before updating
the version in unstable, it would be nice to see what fallout that
would have, by rebuilding all relevant packages against the version in
experimental.
Since experimental buildds use packages from sid by default, this
requires sourceful uploads to change build-deps to explicitly request
the version from experimental, as discussed on debian-release[1]:
Build-Depends: tcl-dev (>= 8.5), tk-dev (>= 8.5)
I tried building against tcl/tk 8.5 locally and it seemed to work
well and correctly dependended on the tcl8.5 and tk8.5 packages.
I looked at http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToTestGrass6 for
tests to run: drawing a profile and so on (did not get too far
before I got bored, though). My /usr/bin/wish points to wish8.6,
so it looks like this can handle such version mismatches okay.
So I suspect an upload to experimental with that change would be safe.
This patch also contains an unrelated change: dropping the c/r/p:
grass-doc from grass-doc (as noticed by lintian). Please let me
know if you would like me to file a separate bug and reroll the
patch.
Thoughts?
Jonathan

Errors were encountered while processing: postgis I have attached the postgis_1.5.1-1_amd64.build.gz from the pdebuild. I think this might be because the control_lenny file has BOTH postgresql-server-dev-8.3, postgresql-server-dev-8.4 as Build-Depends for postgis. That is ok, the package is made to build the postgis extension for both versions. Would this not then require BOTH libpq5 8.4~0cvs20090328 from postgresql-8.4 libpq5 8.3.9-0lenny1from postgresql-8.3 to be part of the dependencies, probably with the later one winning or whatever? No. libpq5 is the library that allows user programs to communicate with a postgresql server. The version of libpq5 >=8.4 is compatible to communicate with servers from PostgreSQL 8.2 or later. So it's all right that the postgis package has libpq5 >=8.4.x as dependency. Any ideas how to fix this? Does the control file need to be split into two files one for postgresql-8.3 and one for postgresql-8.4? would the rules file need to changes also or instead of the control file? As I said, the control and rule files are ok and build the extension for postgresql 8.3 and 8.4. I've put a lot of time and effort into trying to resolve this, but I just don't know that much about building debian packages. Reall need to guidance and help on this one.

One of the squeeze goals is removing all libtool helpers which rely strictly on the libtool version used to create them. You need to rely on pkg-config or other similar helpers to find out the correct building options. So, adding a .la file when not *strictly* required is an RC bug. And that's exactly the case for geos which provides geos-config --libs. Note that spatialite is provided in sid anyway, and correctly patched for that.
