Hi,

I've just tried to build a new debian package for libcomedi based on the latest git package Gudjon has provided. It fails trying to patch the comedi-calibrate. It cannot find the ./configure script (though it's there).

Here's everything: the original package and my attempt to create a new version.
http://www.linux-usb-daq.co.uk/tmp/comedilib.tar.gz

Anyway. I've corrected the ./configure call in rules using the new options we have added during the last couple of days. Also played a bit with the build dependencies (removed ruby there, added dblatex, ...).

Thank you Christoph for the note -- original announcement I guess

Gudjon,   I would be glad (whenever time allows) to sponsor the
upload to Debian.  I will look into current package you have -- only 1
major issue I see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570069

if it is usable on kfreebsd then udev depends should be said
[!kfreebsd-amd64] or smth like that OR may be moved into Recommends
altogether, OR just do not build for kfreebsd if it is of no use there
-- I am just ignorant on this subject.  Any input is welcome to help
resolving this.

GIT version --  would be neat (whenever current one gets back into
testing)!

Hi Yaro,

maybe NeuroDebian can come to the rescue here? Comedi is an incredibly
important package, and it would be a shame to see it vanish from the
debian repositories.

Cheers,
Christoph

Hi list
    There is a newer version on my private server (0.8.1-6)
deb-src http://213.64.124.152/debian/ source/
but I haven't had time to test it properly.

My plan was to upload version 0.8.1-6 wich includes symbols file and then make a package with the current git version.

My problem is lack of time and that I am not a Debian Maintainer. If someone wants to take over the maintenance, please do. If somebody is willing to sponsor uploads for me, I am willing to keep on maintaining it but I have been busy lately and will be for 10 more days.

Cheers
Gudjon

Seems so that it needs a new maintainer. I vaguely remember that
somebody here wanted to volunteer and that I offered testing the
package. Anybody?

Hi all,

does anybody know why libcomedi0 has been removed from debian testing?

It looks like this RC bug is the reason:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570069

This bug is more than two years old, and the comedilib Debian package
has not seen any activity since 2008, except a NMU in 2011...
