Hi,
I made an attempt at creating an updated package that fixes this bug.
To be able to apply the patch without creating a pre-patched tar
archive, I converted the packaging from "native" packaging to non-native
packaging. To do this, I downloaded the original 0.5.6 source code from
the upstream website and compared it to the tar in the debian source
package.
The only difference between these archives was the addition of the
debian/ directory.
I renamed the upstream tar archive to .orig.tar.bz2 and created/modified
the following files in the debian/ directory:
debian/source/format -> added '3.0 (quilt)'
debian/changelog -> changelog entry
debian/patches/* -> the patch I applied and the series file
The upstream patch applied OK, but produced warnings about fuzzyness, so
I redid the patch by creating a patch between an orig/ and new/
directory (with the original patch applied to new/). The new patch
applies without warnings.
You can find my packaging attempt at
http://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~rtheys/gnutls/
It also contains an amd64 build which was built on Squeeze.
I hope this helps in producing an updated Debian package. Feel free to
ignore my packaging attempt and to apply the patch in a different way.
The upstream 0.5.8 version also fixes this bug, but since the current
package is the same in stable, testing and unstable it would be nice to
have a 0.5.6 update in unstable first so it can receive some testing.
The same package (rebuilt on Squeeze) can then be proposed as a stable
update.
If there is anything else I can help you with to have this bug fixed,
please let me know.
Regards,
Rik
