Package: scidavis Version: 1.14-local1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I prepared the files necessary to build the DEB package for SciDaVis v.1.14 (the latest so far) and suggest them for your consideration. I downloaded the 'debian' catalog for SciDaVis version 1.D9-2 from here: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/scidavis and then made the following changes: 1. Refreshed the 'changelog' file 2. Switched from compatibility level 7 to 9 in the 'compat' file 3. Replaced the 'libgsl-dev' with 'libgsl0-dev' in the 'control' file 4. Added the installation of the icons and desktop files in the 'install' file 5. Refreshed the 'qwtplot3d-headers.patch' file 6. Added the 'remove-unnecessary-doc-files.patch' to fix the corresponding lintian warning about unneeded files (duplicates) 7. Added the 'scidavis-desktop-mime.patch' to fix the lintian warning about the Exec string 8. Added the 'icon' tag to the 'scidavis.xml' file with MIME type description 9. Turned off the 'gcc6.patch' in 'patches/serial', since the upstream sources are fixed already 10. Refreshed the 'without-3rdparty-liborigin.patch' for new source files 11. Fixed the 'rules' file to use the native 'qmake_qt4' build system with the necessary hardening (also fixes a number of lintial warnings). A complete list of Lintian warnings I tried to fix is here: https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/georg...@debian.org.html#scidavis After all these changes I managed to build the scidavis_1.14 package on my Jessie AMD64 system successfully. So I hope my files may be used to put the SciDaVis into Debian repository.
