Bug#637292: ITP: libfile-path-tiny-perl -- Perl module that provides recursive versions of mkdir() and rmdir()

2011-08-10 Thread Alessandro Ghedini
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alessandro Ghedini 

* Package name: libfile-path-tiny-perl
  Version : 0.1
  Upstream Author : Daniel Muey 
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-Path-Tiny/
* License : GPL-1+ or Artistic
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Perl module that provides recursive versions of mkdir() and 
rmdir()

The goal of File::Path::Tiny is simply to provide recursive versions of mkdir()
and rmdir() with as little code and overhead as possible.

File::Path::Tiny is in no way meant to derogate File::Path and is in no way
an endorsement to go out and replace all use of File::Path with
File::Path::Tiny.

Note that this module is needed by the new version of perlbrew.

All I can say is "wtf".  You knowingly accept that Debian distributes
undistributable files?  It's not that it's a non-free license that still allows
distribution, it's "All Rights Reserved".

It's certainly necessary for us to not distribute stuff which is not
distributable.  I'm therefore BCCing sub...@bugs.debian.org, as this
should be a separate bug from the wishlist bug this is currently
attached to.

 It can be used as a proxy for gdb or as an independent debugger

Bug#637232: general: Multiarch breaks support for non-multiarch toolchain

Presumably you are referring to Bug#629819 and Bug#637218.

Bug#629819 was about upstream gcc failing to build after crti.o et al
were moved.  This is thorny because

 - the relevant non-Debian compiler is xgcc, which is an intermediate
   product from the build process.  So a compatibility wrapper for
   gcc would not help here, though a nice build script could.

 - gcc's build system is a pain in the neck.

Bug#637218 is a similar problem about headers moving.  Again, the use
case was building and testing upstream gcc.

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=85;bug=637218
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=90;bug=637218

give a recipe for building non-multiarch-aware gcc in a multiarch
environment.

You are right that this doesn't have much to do with eglibc, so I am
tempted to reassign 629819 to general and merge the bugs.  As more
packages use the multiarch paths, it will only become more important
to have a way to communicate their location to non-Debian toolchains.

The bug is closed given we have provided some hints in NEWS.Debian.gz. I
am not sure what reassigning this already closed bug would change there.

Yep.  Thanks for the hints, by the way, and sorry to have filled your
inbox.  So if I understand correctly, this bug is about two or three
remaining things:

 1. Getting multiarch support patches applied in non-Debian toolchains
(upstream gcc, upstream clang, and so on);

 2. Wrapper scripts for building and using toolchains that lack
built-in support for multiarch paths (e.g., for bisecting bugs
introduced by old versions of gcc, using proprietary compilers,
etc);

 3. (?) Some other sort of trick to fool toolchains without lack for
multiarch paths into coping with wheezy (symlinks to each library
and header don't scale well for that, though it has been suggested
by some people, but maybe a fake sysroot with symlinks to the
multiarch and common directories could work).

(1) and (2) is basically what you said already.  Sorry for the noise.

Hi,
How does it differ from rfkill, already in the archive? Perhaps the
description could be updated to make this clear.
thanks,
