Update of bug #15364 (project freeciv): Status:None = Fixed Open/Closed:Open = Closed ___ Follow-up Comment #10: My reply here seems completely irrelevant for the bug. Should we take it up somewhere else? We can continue discussion directly on freeciv-dev mailing list.

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #15364 (project freeciv): My reply here seems completely irrelevant for the bug. Should we take it up somewhere else? Ah right. We (debian) have been pretty good about keeping freeciv up to date in unstable, and new versions have (thus far) rebuilt fine on older releases. I'd hope that anyone who wants a debianised package could use the testing package and rebuild it on their deb based platform. Debian typically releases packets month or two after we have made official release, but for some people anything from stable branch (as opposed to development version in trunk) is already old news. It's probably rare that such a person would need debian package, though. Agreed. I personally built debian packets during S2_2 development cycle to test libfreeciv as shared library in system directory and I want is libfreeciv a new part of freeciv? everything that is put to system directories to be handled as Debian packets. I'd like to see our (freeciv upstream) debian directory as starting point for downstream implementation. We should keep it up to While it would be great to be able to work with you (upstream) on the packaging, we (debian) won't use an upstream debian/ dir - its stripped out during the package building in favour of ours. date with build system changes and improvements and downstream could check those changes and make updates to their files accordingly. Would you be interested in packaging (debian/ dir) suggestions from debian? Would you be willing to ship your debian/ dir as an example.debian (or similar name), or do you prefer to leave it as debian? Big build system changes between S2_1 and S2_2 that may affect distributions are possibility to build libfreeciv as shared library and possibility to build multiple clients at once. Our debian build files take advantage both of those features. I'll definitely have another look at the shipped debian dir, because I was wondering how sane it would be to switch to the code for building multiple clients in a single run. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?15364 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #15364 (project freeciv): There doesn't appear to be a debian/ dir in the 2.2 tar.bz2, so I guess this could be closed. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?15364 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #15364 (project freeciv): The following would be a valid watch file for gna.org downloads (replace the whole content of the old watch file): version=3 # stable releases http://download.gna.org/freeciv/stable/ freeciv-(.*)\.tar\.gz # beta releases and release candidates #opts=uversionmangle=s/-/~/;tr/A-Z/a-z/ \ # http://download.gna.org/freeciv/beta/ freeciv-(.*)\.tar\.gz The part for beta and RCs (commented) does some magic to the version number so that * release candidates are sorted after beta releases * beta and release candidates are sorted before stable releases when comparing version numbers the Debian way: 2.1.X 2.2.0~betaX 2.2.0~rcX 2.2.0 2.3.X Instead of .tar.gz also .tar.bz2 should work for newer versions of Debian and derived distributions.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #15364 (project freeciv): Should we just remove that file? Debian is not using it as they maintain their own version of debian directory (they replace our version with their own when they distribute freeciv) It's highly unlikely anybody else has set up system where that watch file would be used. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?15364 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
