${shlibs:Depends} should be set by debhelper to the minimum version
required by this package upon version information from the library at
build time. If you are using a feature that is only available after
libvte9 1:0.28.1-2 but the dependency says 'libvte9 (= 1:0.24.0)'
then it is a bug of libvte9 package.
That is, more or less, what's happening, so I'll move the bug to
libvte9. In case that takes a long time to fix should I manually
override the dependency?
Yes you can, just put the right version in Depends.
This is an excellent recipe to make the Release Team hate you, though.
However this means when building with older version of libvte one has
to manually adjust the Depends field as well.
Wait, you don't want to build your package against *older* versions. And
if you even can do that, then your build-depends is broken.
What is troublesome in such case is building against a *newer* version,
with potentially different SONAME. That's why you should never put
shared libraries you're linking against explicitly in Depends. If
anything, use Breaks for this purpose.
That said, #641123 really looks like a serious bug in vte.

I think so, yes. I didn't really intend to send the previous

as simply as installing roxterm-gtk2 instead of roxterm-gtk3. As
long as these are Outstanding on the bug tracker that will stop
the testing package being updated won't it? I don't want it to be
difficult for anyone who finds version 2.x unusable to revert to
1.x.
The bug has to have severity set to critical, grave or serious. I
think the geometry issue is nearly grave (makes the package in
question unusable or mostly so). IMHO you might want to keep roxterm
pointed to roxterm-gtk2 until the bug was fixed, or enable the
workaround by default. Anyway this is your package, you decide :)
That's a bit tricky because the bug is in libgtk-3-0 and marked as
affects roxterm. It might not be considered as grave in that package
because it only affects a few applications (although they include
gnome-terminal) and when used with what's considered to be a
non-standard window manager.
I think releasing to experimental would be the best option at the
moment, so I'll upload a new version later.
I might also need some help with #641123. It's to do with
${shlibs:Depends} and being able to support a new feature in a
library where possible but also be buildable without the feature to
support older versions. Would it be better to ask on debian-devel

As soon as it's uploaded I'll mark the bug as affecting roxterm-gtk3. I should probably have mentioned that in my RFS (although I did discuss the bug and splitting the package on debian-mentors first), so I'm Cc-ing this back to the list. Uploaded.

I suspect it's only my environment, x86_64-linux-gnu. Do you have any clue? I can reproduce this with zsh and nano, but I still don't know what's causing it. Wen I added -v -x options to zsh it ran normally (aside from printing lots of extra info). It also works if I run zsh via a wrapper sh script which does nothing but exec zsh. I can only guess there's some sort of race condition (possibly involving std* file descriptors or something to do with LINES and COLUMNS environment variables?) but I see any reason why this is affecting roxterm but not gnome-terminal. I've tried changing the point at which roxterm runs the child command but it didn't help, and changing the order tends to have side effects such as sizing issues or commands sometimes not starting until focused. I tried roxterm in Ubuntu which uses vte_terminal_fork_command_full instead of vte_terminal_fork_command and that was able to run zsh and nano, so perhaps vte_terminal_fork_command is bugged?

I tried. Not very useful, the backtrace only shows a child-exited

Please use the attached patch so we can see what command it's trying to

Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.20.3-1 of my package roxterm.

I feel that I've finally done the best I can to fix and/or work around the unwanted resizing issues that tend to plague multi-tabbed windows containg vte widgets and since 1.18.5 the documentation has been improved and a Spanish translation added. Thanks to Scott Howard for answering my query about using experimental. I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

It might have made more sense to ask the release team for permission, especially if you were suspicious that they might reject the change. However, since the change seemed minimal (and important), I made a guess (which I hope wasn't inaccurate) that the release team would not have too much of an issue in allowing it through. Maybe, from next time, I should first ask the release team first. But I don't think it should matter much. Also, I've now moved to 1.19.* upstream, which has new/changed features. Should I ask for this to be sponsored for experimental or just wait until the freeze is over? If you want to provide your users the package early on, experimental would be an option, though some don't like that approach (there is a discussion on this list happening now on this topic). But, in any event, under the current guidelines, I'd advise you to not get the new version into unstable during the freeze. Thanks for your contribution to Debian!

RFS: roxterm (updated package) [highly configurable terminal emulator]
Dear mentors, My first RFS for this version didn't result in an upload so I am still looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.18.5-3 of my package roxterm. It builds these binary packages: roxterm- Multi-tabbed GTK/VTE terminal emulator The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 598971 The bug can affect which environment variables roxterm decides to set or change in its child shells. The specific problem experienced in Ubuntu Maverick (not setting TERM correctly) is unlikely to affect Debian, because Debian's older vte library sets TERM whereas Maverick's doesn't. However, the bug still has potential to cause weird things to happen with environment variables and the fix is very simple, so I think it should be included in squeeze.

You're quite right, I need to get in a habit of being more verbose in my commit messages to generate a better ChangeLog. Reviewing the other changes myself: I've improved the documentation, including changing a bit about how to enable configurable keyboard shortcuts in GNOME, which had become out of date. Documentation changes shouldn't give cause for concern about stability? Looking at r747 again, I can't find the bug report which triggered that, but ISTR there was a visible problem. I think there's the possibility of a divide by zero error, and it's a one line fix, so I really think I should include that. r746 is a one-liner which fixes two not quite correct behaviour bugs https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2997666group_id=124080atid=698428 and https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2997661group_id=124080atid=698428. r745 is more complicated and most people wouldn't notice the problem https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2999166group_id=124080atid=698428 so I'm happy to leave that out. But with all the above that I think should go in, plus you accepting the new *TERM feature, it seems like we might just as well release 1.18.4-1. If you disagree and just want the important fixes, do you suggest merging them into one backported-bugfixes patch or use a separate one for each feature? P.S.

It took me some time, and as I understand it, it is rev763, which fixes the above mentioned issue, thus wouldn't be safer to just backport that change (just reflecting connected/disconnected state) to the version in sid? It should also be fairly easy. I should also admit that the subsequent COLORTERM changes look trivial, and very low risk, thus these should also be acceptable, but if you ask me I'd still go for former (rev763 only), unless you have a better reason for the latter (more verbose changlogs are generally more helpful;-), so please let me know. You're quite right, I need to get in a habit of being more verbose in my commit messages to generate a better ChangeLog. Reviewing the other changes myself: I've improved the documentation, including changing a bit about how to enable configurable keyboard shortcuts in GNOME, which had become out of date. Documentation changes shouldn't give cause for concern about stability? Looking at r747 again, I can't find the bug report which triggered that, but ISTR there was a visible problem. I think there's the possibility of a divide by zero error, and it's a one line fix, so I really think I should include that. r746 is a one-liner which fixes two not quite correct behaviour bugs https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2997666group_id=124080a tid=698428 and https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2997661group_id=124080a tid=698428. r745 is more complicated and most people wouldn't notice the problem https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=2999166group_id=124080a tid=698428 so I'm happy to leave that out. But with all the above that I think should go in, plus you accepting the new *TERM feature, it seems like we might just as well release 1.18.4-1. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to agree with your recommendation, and uploaded 1.18.4-1 as is. Let's hope it brings more benefits to the users, than eventual regressions. If you disagree and just want the important fixes, do you suggest merging them into one backported-bugfixes patch or use a separate one for each feature? If something goes wrong (i.e. regression is found) with 1.18.4-1, I'd appreciate if separate bug fixes (against that same version) are splitted in separate patches. P.S. I no longer intend to use that package, thus you will need another sponsor for it or alternatively complete the DM-state. However I intend to review and upload your urgent 'fixes' until after release of squeeze. Can I ask why you no longer intend to use it? It shouldn't matter if you Well, it is no longer the lightweight terminal emulator, as it used to be, its ldd score is basically the same as the one of gnome-terminal or konsole. I also consider 'no dbus support' a feature. However, these are really a matter of personal preferences, both as: package already has its user base and tons of other software uses dbus, so it is already useful for someone else. This basically leads us to the consequence that someone else using it should take care of reviewing and uploading. However, as an interim solution, I intend to spend few of my time uploading it, until you manage to find another sponsor or complete the DM. It is worth, since your efforts/time won't be left unaddressed/wasted, and hopefully roxterm users won't be left in the cold. stop sponsoring it, because at least one other DD has expressed interest, and I am going to apply for DM. I've already had my key signed but the signer is soon going to replace his key with a more secure one and I thought maybe I should wait until he's signed mine with his new key. Or does that not really matter at all and I should forge ahead ASAP? Well, you should wait for him to sign your key with his newer one and then proceed with DM. Take your time, I don't intend to vanish abruptly, especially in the case of any hypothetical regressions being found. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

One of the bugs I fixed is a bit more serious, involving trying to access freed memory, which can cause unpredictable crashes (it never bit me, a gentoo user found it). If you're concerned about the other changes I could isolate that fix as a patch and release 1.18.2-2, but that doesn't really strike me as the right thing to do when the fix is released upstream. I'll also contact the other potential sponsor who emailed me privately and see if he's willing to review 1.18.3-1. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package looks good and 557049 seems to be addressed as well, at least works for me;-). JFYI I just run into some leftovers in the roxterm(1) and roxterm- config(1) manpages -- they both contain [FIXME: manual] and [FIXME: source], and these are also shown in the man browser too. This is not a huge problem per se, and the package in sid also has it, but I think you might want to know about it and address it further. I use that package and I'm willing to upload. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

It turns out that yesterday I had installed autotools-dev by accident in my supposed to be clean chroot, so I failed to spot the following failure (and manage to complete the whole check cycle including install/deinstall/running). checking whether i486-linux-gnu-gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub make: *** [config.status] Error 127 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 Adding autotools-dev back to build-dependencies fixes it, however I wonder what were your considerations to remove it in the first place from there? -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
