I'm surprised by the presence of debspawn. It's very similar to my https://salsa.debian.org/federico/conbuilder (that existed before debspawn), but I never uploaded it due to the comments it received on the ITP... -- Federico

Now that we have the powerful codesearch.debian.net, a quick search would be feasible: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%23define+word1%28x%29+%28%28U*%29%26x%29-%3EL%5B0%5D&literal=1 It would only give 3 results: = tinymux_2.10.1.14-1/src/strtod.cpp #ifdef IEEE_8087 #define word0(x) ((U*)&x)->L[1] #define word1(x) ((U*)&x)->L[0] #else #define word0(x) ((U*)&x)->L[0] silverjuke_18.2.1-3/src/see/dtoa.c #ifdef IEEE_8087 #define word0(x) ((U*)&x)->L[1] #define word1(x) ((U*)&x)->L[0] #else #define word0(x) ((U*)&x)->L[0] virtualbox_6.1.12-dfsg-6/src/libs/xpcom18a4/nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prdtoa.c #ifdef IEEE_8087 #define word0(x) ((U*)&x)->L[1] #define word1(x) ((U*)&x)->L[0] #else #define word0(x) ((U*)&x)->L[0] === I don't know whether it is still meaningful but someone might find this information useful. -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Wishlist: I'd love to see WNPP bug CCed in ftpmaster reject mails (where to file a bug report about this)
Hi, I think the software that is used by ftpmaster is dak but I think I can not really file a bug report about this. So asking here how to put my wish into BTS - and may be discussing here whether its a sensible wish or not. It happens from time to time that a package got rejected and the reasons are given in the rejection mail. Unfortunately this mail might be accidently deleted or somehow otherwise from developers inbox. I'm team maintaining all my packages but I have observed cases where even the mailing list archive was lacking the rejection mail. Moreover its sometimes really hard to find there. (I have the impression that web search engines do not reliably indexing Debian mailing list archives any more - I have even tested buy putting in site:lists.debian.org and a unique string in some mail which was not found by the market leading web search engine.) I was told that DDs can review the rejection mails at coccia.debian.org:/srv/ftp-master.debian.org/queue/reject but this was somehow hidden knowledge to me and works only for DDs. Even when finding the mail in the web archive sometimes there is a following discussion about the issue where different parties are involved. Forcing readers to follow all those links is not very convenient. My idea for a solution is that if the according WNPP bug is CCed by the rejection mail it can be 1. easily found at a convenient place 2. easily referenced for further discussion 3. reviewed by everybody not only DDs (we do not hide problems, right?) Since it might be extra work for ftpmaster which I'd like to avoid I could imagine that dak could parse d/changelog for a WNPP bug that is closed by the upload and add it automatically to the mail header. So how can I file this bug report properly - in case at least one or two other people agree with me that this suggestion is helpful and sensible. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
