Package: intercal Severity: wishlist Version 0.27 of C-INTERCAL has been released; could a package be created with the new version? There are several changes in the new version, including several bugfixes. Of particular note to the Debian packaging are several changes that should make the diff of Debian-specific changes shorter; the man pages were added to the main distribution (although some Debian-specific text was commented out and will need to be commented back in), the build process was made significantly saner, and several bugs or unusual violations that previoulsy had Debian-specific fixes now have upstream fixes (they were mostly fixed independently before I learnt of the Debian packaging, though, and in some cases have been fixed different ways).
To be specific about what may need to be done, taking the files in the diff for the 0.26 version: /debian/*: still neeed (obviously), apart from the man page which was included in the upstream distribution, but will still need a diff /doc/Makefile: changes merged into the upstream distribution /src/perpet.c: the same changes were made independently /src/ick.h: the Debian patch is now moot, as it was fixed a different way /src/lexer.l: likewise (the patch was for the same problem) /Makefile.in: most of the problems here were fixed independently. The problem with versioned directories still exists, but has now been confined to one line in the Makefile that's designed to be patched onto. Of course, you probably have better ideas about how to package it than I do; apart from the insane version number (this version comes after 1.26), it should hopefully be slightly easier to package than before, though, in terms of needing less Debian-specific code. The new version can be downloaded from either of the following URLs: <http://intercal.freeshell.org/download/> <http://freeshells.ch/~intercal/download/> (Note: I tried to send this earlier using reportbug, but it seems to have gone wrong. Apologies if this comes up twice. And apologies for missing off the patch in the previous bug report!)
