Bug#659279: netmrg: FTBFS(kfreebsd): error in kernel header

Hi,

> A pair of #includes are missing.  machine/param.h is required by
> in_pcb.h and sys/socket.h is needed by if_arp.h.  See attached patch
> (untested).

I just tried building this (on kfreebsd-i386) with the new
kfreebsd-kernel-headers (0.78).  Somehow this has fixed *both* issues so
the patch/includes are no longer needed.

Christoph, please kindly schedule a rebuild of this once the new k-k-h
are ready on the buildd's.

Thanks,
Regards,

I confirmed that rp-pppoe still builds, although with a lot of warnings
due to the use of these deprecated relations and a deprecated version of
debhelper, among other things.  I can't test it since I don't use PPP.

However, I'm comfortable going forward anyway for two reasons: one, we
want packages to be rebuildable and packages that aren't rebuildable are
already RC-buggy even if we haven't detected that problem; and two, making
it a Policy must does not automatically make it RC.  That's still at the
discretion of the release managers, and I suspect they'd be willing to
give packages a pass for something relatively minor like this.

So, I'm seconding the original change and, that making three seconds
counting the proposer, applying the following change for the next release,
which also rewords the section minorly for clarity.

diff --git a/policy.sgml b/policy.sgml
index 4fd60d9..52dbb26 100644

Thanks!  This certainly looks like a good idea to me.

Bug#664209: apt_preferences: package of higher prio not choosen?!

Hi Daniel.

On Sat, 2012-03-17 at 12:29 +0800, Daniel Hartwig wrote:

Well I did this, or actually my the whole need for this has vanished in
the meantime ;-)

Nevertheless,... I still think that documentation is ambiguous/incorrect
here... or even more, that handling is incorrect: reinstalls should not
be considered as downgrades...
And so far, no one could show me why I'm wrong with respect to this.

So I guess best would be to reopen this bug and discuss whether a)
behaviour could/should be changed or b) the apt_preferences(5) manpage
could be extended to note that reinstall == downgrade, e.g. from
>·   Never downgrade unless the priority of an available version exceeds

(There may be other places in the manpage, where the same information
should be added.)

The above is however probably not enough, as David says,.. the order of
sources.list entries is important... so reinstalling is done if ordered
first but not the other way round.

Bug#652258: Possible removal of gerris

I am the lead developer of Gerris (and GTS). I am about to release the
attached patches (in darcs format sorry) for the latest snapshot
release of Gerris which should fix both set of issues (i.e. obsolete
gts-config and failures with latest automake).

cheers

Bug#664470: proxytunnel: FTBFS on kfreebsd-* and hurd

Package: src:proxytunnel
Version: 1.9.0-3
Tags: patch
User: debian-bsd <at> lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

Hi,

Something weird in the Makefile causes this error on kfreebsd and hurd
builds:

> cc -Wall -O2 -ggdb -DREV=0 -DHAVE_GETOPT_LONG -DUSE_SSL -DSETPROCTITLE -DSPT_TYPE=2 -DSO_REUSEPORT

By defining SO_REUSEPORT in the compile options, the sys/socket.h header
is unable to properly define it.

I think that hack was originally meant to help with Cygwin builds.  But
I've tried removing it (please see attached patch), and that fixes the
build on kfreebsd-i386 and still builds fine on (Linux) amd64 and so

Thanks for the gentle interaction. Forgive me for my careless patch
review and thanks for your careful attention to detail. The fix is now
commited: http://code.google.com/p/wajig/source/detail?r=a97683d51c97191f8249451ec22bb217f14b9756

Bug#664471: false positive for hyphen-used-as-minus-sign

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: minor

Hi,

It seems to me that lintian falsely reports hyphen-used-as-minus-sign
for the following line in the file:

Use \f[C]--\ --help\f[] for a list.

If the space ('\ ') is removed, the warning is no longer
generated. I'm not familiar with the groff source language, but at
least viewing the page through man shows regular minus signs, and not
dashes.
