Package: src:xiphos Version: 3.1.5+dfsg Severity: important Tags: patch The new upstream release (3.2.2) fixes the current FTBFS bug (#747784).
I made a trial version of a package based on the new release, and I'm attaching what I did as a patch against the 3.1.5+dfsg-1 debian directory. Hopefully this will give someone else a headstart on making an actual package. I also had to create a modified "dfsg" tarball using the following procedure: * Unpack upstream tarball * Rename directory by adding +dfsg suffix * Remove debian directory * Unpack waf using commands from https://wiki.debian.org/UnpackWaf * Repack tarball with appropriate .orig.tar.xz name Hope this helps. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
