OK, quick update on status for Quantal and Precise. The Quantal patch
was never uploaded to the archive. The Precise patch was uploaded by
xnox, but was rejected because of the ${binary:Version} issue below.
I've just uploaded a modified patch from comment 75 to Quantal only.
I'd like to get Quantal landed before doing Precise, because as people
have mentioned, the upgrade path gets complicated otherwise.
Here are the changes I made to Graham's Quantal patch:
- You shouldn't specify Breaks or Replaces lines with automatically generated
versions like ${binary:Version}. This means that every time the package is
built, it will say it breaks previous versions. Instead, just hardcode the
version that you put in debian/changelog.
- When using DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH, please also make sure to manually set it [1]
as recommended in the multiarch conversion doc [2]. This is because while
normally the buildd will set it for us, it's not a requirement. For example,
when dep8 tests rebuild the source, the variable is not set for us. Not likely
an issue in practice , but still good to do.
- No need for quantal-proposed in the changelog entry. You can just say
quantal now and LP will do the right thing. Minor point, but just saying.
- No need to manually add multiarch-support to the Pre-Depends line. It comes
in via the ${misc:Pre-Depends} bit. Again, minor point.
So let's see how the Quantal upload goes.
[1] DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
