Public bug reported:
Hi! I’m the Debian maintainer (DD) of the aforementioned two packages,
and coordinating MuseScore in Debian and the official MuseScore PPA as
upstream contributor.
Please grant an FFe and sync at least musescore-sftools, at best also
fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont. Justification below:
You recently (on 2018-03-19) sync’d musescore-sftools 20180222-2 and
fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont 2.315-2 together with the latest musescore
2.1.0+dfsg3-3 from Debian. (Thanks for that.)
However, musescore-sftools 20180222 was a first cut of it to get things
rolling in Debian due to the DFSG-freeness issues of the soundfont. It
contains one tool, whose upstream name was “sfconvert”, but there is
already an sfconvert in audiofile-tools in Debian. I renamed it to
“musescore-sfconvert” and immediately contacted upstream, and it was
agreed to rename to “sf3convert” because they did not like making the
name specific to musescore.
That was on about 2018-03-13. I knew an Ubuntu release was approaching,
but I figured that it was too late for this to land as new packages,
anyway, so I decided against uploading this to Debian immediately (using
patches) but wait for upstream to merge the pull requests, and then
upload a new version without any Debian-specific patches.
However, upstream was extremeliest busy with the new MuseScore 2.2
release scheduled for end of March and so only merged my PRs on
2018-03-25. I uploaded this to Debian, as well with fluidr3mono-gm-
soundfont 2.315-3 that used the new name of the binary package and the
included binary.
Please sync the newer musescore-sftools source package; it is
functionally identical to the previous one (except the reproducible-
builds patch now must be enabled by the -S option), but the binary and
manpage have been renamed.
To add a bit of “fun”, upstream also decided to change the name of their
“new” soundfont (not yet having passed ftpmaster NEW in Debian) roughly
at the same time I was making the upload, so I immediately pushed
fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont 2.315-4 with the new name.
The reason we are going to need this is: fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont
installs itself as FluidR3Mono_GM.sf3, but it *also* installs a symlink
from MuseScore_General.sf3 (instead of MS_General.sf3 as in earlier
versions) to that, which is the name of the soundfont expected from
MuseScore 2.2 onwards, because it’s upwards compatible (the new
soundfont is a fork of fluidr3ono). The Debian packaging for ms_general
then diverts that symlink out of the way while installing itself.
The new version of MuseScore depends on fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont (>>
2.315-4~) because of that (with an alternative depends on the new
soundfont, not packaged yet).
So, to avoid users having to download 2.315-4 from a PPA additionally,
and for upwards compatibility with newer MuseScore versions (from PPA)
for bionic for the next couple of years, this is needed. (It also builds
reproducibly by using the new -S option, and uses a dpkg-builddeb option
to allow for distributions as long back as precise to install the binary
.deb file.)
So, please sync the newer version of the soundfont, as well.
There are no Ubuntu changes (I was surprised it had managed to slip into Ubuntu
already, in the first place, so someone must already have granted a debian
import sync exception).
musescore-sftools (20180325-1) unstable; urgency=high
* Rename binary to sf3convert as requested by upstream
(the former package name existed short enough no transition is needed)
* New upstream snapshot, merges all patches

and:
fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont (2.315-4) unstable; urgency=high
* Rename MS_General.sf3 symlink to MuseScore_General.sf3
since upstream suddenly decided to change it
* Put the “MIT” licence identifier in ICOP chunk
-- Thorsten Glaser <t...@mirbsd.de> Sun, 25 Mar 2018 22:25:07 +0200
fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont (2.315-3) unstable; urgency=high
* Use compression keeping the .deb installable on trusty
* Mark as Multi-Arch: foreign, prompted by piuparts
* Switch to sf3convert (new upstream-requested name)
* Add option to keep building reproducibly
* Update Enhances field
* Use quality settings recommended by S. Christian Collins
* Compress the .deb with xz -8e saving space on the mirrors
-- Thorsten Glaser <t...@mirbsd.de> Sun, 25 Mar 2018 20:44:33 +0200
There is no upstream changelog. I will add a git log from musescore-sftools,
though.
I’ve uploaded both to my PPA for bionic (unchanged save for the extra changelog
entry for PPA):
-
https://launchpad.net/~mirabilos/+archive/ubuntu/mscore/+sourcepub/8894940/+listing-archive-extra
-
https://launchpad.net/~mirabilos/+archive/ubuntu/mscore/+sourcepub/8894945/+listing-archive-extra
This should satisfy the “build log” question, and “install log” for
musescore-sftools as it’s used to compile the soundfont.
I did install the soundfont in a chroot in which I tested a musescore
build, so I can say with an extremely high level of confidence that both
are “good”. I also excessively tested both in Debian beforehand.
