Package: subversion
Version: 1.1.4-2
Severity: minor
While attempting to build a bleeding-edge subversion package with the
1.2.0 tarball and python2.4 (I don't have python2.3-dev installed), I
discovered that the autogenerated control file contained an unexpected
blank line:
> Package: python2.4-subversion
> Section: python
>
> Architecture: any
> Depends: python`'PYTHON_VER`', subversion, ${shlibs:Depends}
> Description: python modules for interfacing with Subversion (aka. svn)
> Subversion is a version control system much like the Concurrent
> Versions System (CVS). Version control systems allow many
> individuals (who may be distributed geographically) to collaborate on
> a set of files (typically source code). Subversion has all the major
> features of CVS, plus certain new features that CVS users often wish
> they had.
> .
> These modules are required to interface with Subversion from Python.
> This would be useful if you wanted to, for example, write a Python
> script that manipulates a subversion repository or working copy.
> .
> Homepage: http://subversion.tigris.org
This is because the source code placed the terminating newline for the
optional Conflicts/Replaces clause after the ifelse() rather than inside it:
> Package: python`'PYTHON_VER`'-subversion
> Section: python
> ifelse(PYTHON_VER,2.3,`Conflicts: python2.1-subversion
> Replaces: python2.1-subversion')
> Architecture: any
I corrected it as follows.
) Package: python`'PYTHON_VER`'-subversion
) Section: python
) ifelse(PYTHON_VER,2.3,`Conflicts: python2.1-subversion
) Replaces: python2.1-subversion
) ')ifelse(PYTHON_VER,2.4,`Conflicts: python2.3-subversion
) Replaces: python2.3-subversion
) ')Architecture: any
If anyone else is trying this, the edits to debian/rules are pretty
straightforward.
The only thing you need to do is fix up debian/patches/*. The fate of
the patches relative to the 1.2.0 tarball is:
jikes_compile_1.patch - applied upstream; no longer needed
jikes_compile_2.patch - applied upstream; no longer needed
kaffe-cast.patch - still applicable
kaffe.patch - still applicable; HAND EDIT REQUIRED:
trailing context has changed.
ltmain.sh.patch - applied upstream, AFAICT. Some hunks differ.
r11771.patch - applied upstream; no longer needed
repos-templates.patch - still applicable
rpath.patch - still applicable; HAND EDITS REQUIRED:
gen_base.py hunk2 (preceding lines now indented +2)
gen_make.py hunk 1 ("source" -> "link_dep", 6x)
series - HAND EDIT (obviously)
svnshell.patch - Aww, that takes all the fun out of things.
It's compiling now, although it hasn't finished yet...
