Package: libeventdb Version: 0.30-4 Severity: serious The latest release of gpe-calendar requires libhandoff and updates to libeventdb and libgpevtype which were released at the same time (during DebConf7).
libhandoff has now been accepted into Debian from the NEW queue so I
want to be able to upload the updated gpe-calendar upstream release to
close the RC bug #425093.
However, the new release of gpe-calendar needs the latest release of
libeventdb (and libgpevtype).
The updated releases of libeventdb has not shown up in the DEHS because
the watch file is looking at the old handhelds.org location, not the
current linuxtogo server.
I have built the latest versions locally in order to test
the updated gpe-calendar and there appear to be no compatibility
problems with other gpe applications using these libraries (which,
together, form the latest GPE release).
Please can the new upstream releases be uploaded to Debian so that I
can close my RC bug?
(Filing same report for libgpevtype and tagging both as blocking
425093.)
Also, debian/control could do with having ${binary:Version} to replace
the deprecated ${Source-Version} (this fixes a lintian warning) and
v0.90 bumps the SONAME to libeventdb2 so this fix will also have to
spend some time in the NEW queue so now might be a good time to add
a libeventdb2-dbg debug package (likely to become mandatory in Policy
eventually). A simple debian/libeventdb2.install file is needed for
this:
debian/tmp/usr/lib/libeventdb.so.*
I've put a test package in my trivial repository that includes all
these fixes:
http://linux.codehelp.co.uk/packages/pool/main/libe/libeventdb/libeventdb_0.90-1.dsc
As this is a new upstream release, a .diff would not be particularly
useful - the .diff.gz is available at:
http://linux.codehelp.co.uk/packages/pool/main/libe/libeventdb/
(Note that the lintian warning: shlib-with-executable-stack
usr/lib/libeventdb.so.2.0.0 remains - I'll take up this issue with
upstream and see if it can be fixed for the next release.)
The SONAME bump requires a rebuild of gpe-contacts which is not a
problem itself. It does require one change to libdisplaymigration which
actually fixes the bug in libdisplaymigration (unable to install) -
Package: libdisplaymigration0-dev
Section: libdevel
Priority: optional
Architecture: any
Depends: libdisplaymigration0 (= ${binary:Version})
instead of
Depends: libdisplaymigration0 (= ${source:Version})
This makes libdisplaymigration0 binNMU safe.
As ever, I'm happy to be co-maintainer for any or all of these packages
- there are frequently times when various GPE packages have to be
updated and uploaded together and sharing the maintenance would make a
lot of sense. My test packages have been built with this co-maintenance
in place (just to shut up lintian) so if you use these packages, feel
free to remove the Uploaders: field if you prefer not to take up this
offer.
