Hi Tony,

I think I fixed the issue with the migration script, the authors file
was missing an entry for the root user. Could you give it another try?

I see.  Thank you for the clarification.

Cheers,

what Balint wanted is related to his proposed #837478 policy change,
currently policy says that static libraries should usually not contain
PIC code.

It is *not* required to recompile static libraries with -fPIC
for fixing the PIE build of binaries like gpt or sqlitebrowser.

A binNMU recompiling libantlr.a with -fPIE is sufficient.

2016-10-25 Thread tony mancill 
Hi Adrian,

Balint requested that the antlr package drop the separate
libantlr-pic.a and the non-PIC libantlr.a currently shipped.  This
requires a change to debian/rules, and so is sourceful.  The
discussion is included in this bug report.  Also, I would like to get
the package out of SVN (in fact, that has been the hold-up on the
upload, since the migrate script the Java team normally uses fails to
migrate this package - I'm ready to "gbp import-dscs --debsnap antlr"
and call it good).

Thank you,
tony

Control: retitle -1 antlr needs PIE binNMU

A binNMU is sufficient to fix this, and already requested.

Policy does not permit building normal static libraries with PIC unless
there is a special reason hat has been discussed on debian-devel.
