Hi, Week 3 of my GSoC project was mostly lost due to the fact that my laptop was stolen on Monday. After that it took me several days to get a new laptop and set up a proper development environment on it.
Due to that my progress was very limited, mostly related to Andreas Metzler's suggestion in #749854 to simplify the modifications for some packages: if the dependency loop for a certain source package arises from dependencies used only for generating architecture-independent packages, e.g. documentation, then the problematic build dependencies may be moved from the Build-Depends to the Build-Depends-Indep field in the source control stanza. This will effectively drop them for the bootstrap build, since it (just like a normal Debian buildd run) is only done for architecture-dependent packages; any arch:all build dependencies may be obtained directly from the Debian archive, since they will be present there because of an earlier build for another architecture. So what happened this week was: - Andreas Metzler handled libtasn1-6 in #749854 in this way and uploaded the resulting package to the experimental suite; there he included my proposed split of the documentation into a new libtasn1-6-doc package, so that it may actually be made arch:all and only built if necessary. - I proposed the same solution for the already-filed #749989 against src:libraw1394 - I tried to do the same for src:flex (would have been a follow-up to the already-filed #749344), but I stumbled against a FTBFS in unstable that I'm still investigating G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint 2EE7 A7A5 17FC 124C F115 C354 651E EFB0 2527 DF13
