Bug#480514: general: buildd.emdebian.org : Need a crossbuilding buildd compliant with Emdebian Policy

2008-05-10 Thread Neil Williams
Package: general
Severity: wishlist

This is filed against general in advance of a buildd.emdebian.org
pseudo-package becoming available. See #480408

Emdebian has a set of prebuilt binary packages which allow an 80%
reduction in the total installation size of the final Debian system,
acheived through the use of TDebs, DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS and patches held in
Emdebian SVN.

Currently, I am maintaining just over 210 source packages (over 600
binary packages) with manual builds and patches but in order for
Emdebian to support armel and i386, an autobuilder is needed.

Basic script support for a cross-building buildd exists in
emdebian-tools, work is still needed to get this working smoothly and
then implement on a suitable machine: http://buildd.emdebian.org

Emdebian also has a developing Policy that is based on Debian Policy - a
wiki page indicates where the two documents differ:
http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianPolicy

The autobuilder would use existing lintian support to ensure that
crossbuilds are compliant with Emdebian Policy, principally that the
crossbuilt binaries really are the correct architecture.

Maintaining these packages via manual builds is unsustainable and causes
problems with a usable testing/stable migration because certain versions
might simply not exist in the repository when a migration should occur.

The lack of internet-visible build logs is also a significant problem
for helping other people begin developing their own packages for
Emdebian.

Bug#480515: buildd.emdebian.org: gconf unable to be uploaded, libldap-2.4-2 failed to cross build

2008-05-10 Thread Neil Williams
Package: general
Severity: normal

In preparation for a pseudo-package, buildd.emdebian.org, I'm filing
status bugs about packages that block the use of packages that
crossbuild successfully.

libldap-2.4.2 fails to cross build:

configure: error: crossing compiling: use
--with-yielding_select=yes|no|manual
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

In this particular case, the initial fix is probably a value in the
cache file but the dependencies of libldap also cause problems due to a
failure to cross build liborbit2.

gconf cannot be uploaded as it would result in broken dependencies:
Checking for error logs in /opt/emdebian/trunk/g/gconf/trunk/
gconf2 (= 2.22.0-1em1): FAILED
libgconf2-4 (= 2.22.0-1em1): FAILED

  gconf2 (= 2.22.0-1em1) depends on libgconf2-4 (>= 2.13.5) {libgconf2-4
(= 2.22.0-1em1)}
  libgconf2-4 (= 2.22.0-1em1) depends on libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) {NOT
AVAILABLE}
  libgconf2-4 (= 2.22.0-1em1) depends on libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) {NOT
AVAILABLE}

Thu May  8 00:56:43 BST 2008

This bug is blocked by the problems in libldap but is also blocking the
use of gpe-filemanager which requires gconf.

Due to the lack of a crossbuilding buildd, the build logs are not
internet-visible at this time. Builds can be reproduced using
emdebian-tools.

Bug#480518: buildd.emdebian.org: libgpewidget needs DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nodocs" support in debhelper

2008-05-10 Thread Neil Williams
Package: general
Severity: normal

libgpewidget includes documentation files required by Debian Policy and
is unable to remove these using the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nodocs" option
due to a lack of support for this option in debhelper.

Documentation needs to be removed when preparing Emdebian packages in
order to comply with Emdebian Policy.
http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianPolicy

Currently, this means that libgpewidget needs to be crossbuilt with a
patch for debian/rules.

This bug is being filed in preparation for a pseudo-package,
buildd.emdebian.org, where these issues can be set out and fixed.

The intention is to provide simple support for Emdebian packages without
needing patches by filing appropriate bug reports against the packages
themselves and against packages that block such actions as well as
tracking bugs filed against buildd.emdebian.org so that the overall
status of the Emdebian builds is visible to anyone, not just the person
doing the builds (me).

This is not a bug in libgpewidget because libgpewidget is doing what is
required by Debian Policy - it is a bug in buildd.emdebian.org because
Emdebian needs to be able to build as many packages as possible without
any patches and this requirement is blocked by #448615.

i.e. Where the need for a patch can be removed by fixing a package
already in Debian, the bug is in buildd.emdebian.org until the bug in
the relevant package is closed (in this case, debhelper).

Manpages for binaries not in $PATH

2008-05-10 Thread David Paleino
Hi all,
I'm trying to cut down john's bugs [0], and I've encountered #132223 [1]. As
the previous maintainer did, I would have marked that bug as wontfix, because a
normal user shouldn't normally run programs not in $PATH. However, re-reading
the Policy, it states:

+==> §12.1
| Each program, utility, and function should have an associated manual page
| included in the same package. It is suggested that all configuration files
| also have a manual page included as well. Manual pages for protocols and other
| auxiliary things are optional.
+==

This suggests that it should have a manpage. But, it's a *should*. On the other
hand, I know that many "entities" which are not in $PATH have their own manpage
-- see for example Perl modules.

How should I behave here?

Kindly,
David

That's what I thought. Thus, john.8 should suffice for both.

I'll wait for any other response before acting on the bug.

I think the obvious answer makes your question moot: combine the two
into one binary and benchmark to decide what to do, as suggested in
251259.

If you're not willing to do that, then the prudent decision is to decide
whether the user ever needs to run the program manually.  In the case of
cpp-4.3, you never need to run cc1 (since it is an implementation
detail), so it does not require a manpage.  It seems that in the case of
john, the main executable cannot figure out which implementation is
better, so the user may need to run the program manually.  Thus it needs
a manpage.

IANADD.

Uhm, yes. That's what I should've done before, sorry for not noticing. I'll
work on that ASAP.

Also john-any and john-mmx might be seen as "implementation details". Thus I'm
now thinking at a single manpage, with symlinks for john-mmx and john-any.
However, before doing this, I should decide whether to keep this separation or
not.

> IANADD.

Me neither, but I don't believe one needs to be a DD to read the Policy and
think ;)

David

Well nvidia-kernel should soon be built from linux-modules-nonfree-2.6,
so perhaps that will ensure that a complete set of modules are in
unstable so that everything can move to testing together.  That should
solve any dependancy issue preventing things moving to testing at least.

The BTS already does the latter using X-Debian-PR-Package: $PACKAGE,
with mails regarding multiple packages separated by commas (possibly
followed by spaces) to the extent that it is possible to identify a
package associated with a bug report or actions taken on bug reports.

I will eventually be duplicating this information in an
X-Debian-Package: header as well, and adding an X-Debian:
bugs.debian.org header as well for convenience, but will be keeping
the existing PR headers intact for the forseeable future.

Well nvidia-kernel should soon be built from linux-modules-nonfree-2.6,
so perhaps that will ensure that a complete set of modules are in
unstable so that everything can move to testing together.
The set of modules can already be updated if someone has the time and 
experience needed to update nvidia-graphics-modules-i386 and company. 
Merging nvidia-graphics-modules-i386 with linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 
would only complicate or delay more testing transition of nvidia LKM 
packages, like for any LKM.

Diff::LCS is a port of Algorithm::Diff that uses the McIlroy-Hunt
longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm to compute intelligent
differences between two sequenced enumerable containers. The
implementation is based on Mario I. Wolczko's Smalltalk version

Bug#480583: ITP: libheckle-ruby -- Heckle is a mutation tester.

  Description : Heckle is a mutation tester.

Heckle is a mutation tester. It modifies your code and runs your tests
to make sure they fail. The idea is that if code can be changed and
your tests don't notice, either that code isn't being covered or it
doesn't do anything.

Think about it as pen-testing. It's like hiring a white-hat hacker to
try to break into your server and making sure you detect it. You learn
the most by trying to break things and watching the outcome.
