Re: RFS: libmatheval (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.1.7-2 of my package libmatheval. It builds these binary packages: libmatheval1 - GNU library for evaluating symbolic mathematical expressions (run libmatheval1-dev - GNU library for evaluating symbolic mathematical expressions (dev The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 595546 I have made some changes since my last request which I deferred to after the squeeze release. - made copyright DEP5 compliant, added a DEP3 tag to a patch - dropped the leaf .la file according to http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval - added the internal dependencies to Libs.private of the pkg-config file so static linking is still easy (patch 0002) - dropped the integer truncation patch I added last time as I could not produce a testcase where it causes problems and the fortran interface is not used by the reverse dependencies. So I deem it not worth bumping the abi. the rest of the changes (mostly updating to newer standards) are all listed in the changelog. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libmatheval - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libmatheval/libmatheval_1.1.7-2.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

IMHO, you would do well to either: 1. Rename the libmatheval1-dev package to libmatheval-dev, add a Provides: libmatheval1-dev to its Package stanza in the control file, notify the maintainers of the packages that depend on it (it would seem that those would be h5utils and science-mathematics) to change their Build-Depends line to libmatheval-dev, wait for them to upload new versions with the fix, and then drop the Provides line. ...or... 2. Also provide a dummy libmatheval-dev package that simply depends on libmatheval1-dev and notify the maintainers of the packages that depend on it to change their Build-Depends lines.

G'luck, Peter I guess this makes sense as the libmatheval api is unlikely to change in a backward incompatible way. I chose the first way and added a Conflicts and Replaces on so versioned package.

Re: RFS: libmatheval (updated package)
Hi Julian, [...] Unfortunately I only just realized this probably changes the abi (function definition changed) and thus a soname bump. I'll have to look into this with more detail. So this RFS was probably a bit premature, but I would still be grateful for an review of what is already done as this is my first package. [...] Thank you very much for updating this package to match current packaging best-practice. Having checked the debdiff to the package currently in the archives, to me it looks pretty good, you should only fix one more thing: I: libmatheval source: binary-control-field-duplicates-source field section in package libmatheval1 Once you have also done the soname bump, please also consider introducing symbol control files. It could help to ensure you cannot accidentally miss such soname bumps. Hope this help, Michael pgp5fLz501rMO.pgp Description: PGP signature

It always uses int64_t/INTEGER*8 for this. In some functions the pointers where implicitly and also explicitly casted to int. This should lead to bugs when the function pointers lie in 64 bit space and int is 32 bit, so I fixed the casts and forwarded the issue to upstream.
