Hi, it is been a while since our last review of the OpenCPN packaging, and the stable release we were working towards has now shipped. Our .deb packaging efforts await further instructions.
source tarball: http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/tarballs/opencpn_2.5.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz debian/ packaging files: svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-grass/packages/opencpn/trunk/debian earlier review+comments can be found in the ITP: http://bugs.debian.org/538067 You'll notice our source tarball is labeled dfsg. This is because there were some included DLLs to help build the MS Windows version of the program which we didn't need/want for the Linux build, the source code itself is untouched. With respect to that, the one unanswered question Anton & myself had was if the version in debian/changelog needed to exactly match the filename of the source package? i.e. do we need to include "dfsg" in the version number? I would prefer not to as our build is bit-for-bit identical to the upstream source distribution, and amending the version number gives the impression that upstream is somehow not DFSG. There was some talk that pbuilder had issues with the .orig.tar.gz version number having to match the final binary package number. Is there a work around? Does there have to be? (I mean do the debian buildbots care if the source.orig.tar.gz version exactly matches?) I am using debuild and don't experience the problem myself.. thanks, Hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
