Re: New pangzero version available - going to break current one with new SDL-perl

The current upstream version of pangzero is 1.3 and so is the new
Games::PangZero. Based on a quick diff of the two projects it doesn't
appear to be possible to extract a patch, Games::PangZero looks like a
complete fork. Tobias, please either bump the version number on
Games::PangZero or provide a patch against pangzero.

BTW Tobias, did you attempt to contact the pangzero.sf.net folks to
see if you could adopt it upstream instead of forking?

We will bump it to 1.4 (it provides critical memory leaks ... but no
change in the functionality).

We did do that a while ago and didn't get a reply.

Bug#658267: RM: libmoosex-chainedaccessors-perl -- ROM; superseded, no more rdeps

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Please remove the libmoosex-chainedaccessors-perl source and binary
package from the archive.

It's (integrated into and) superseded by its successor
libmoosex-attribute-chained-perl which is already in the archive.

The only previous rdep, libhtml-formfu-perl, is already fixed.

Cheers,
gregor

Thanks for taking care of this package.

(Putting on arename-upstream hat...)

However, there's a problem with that. You're using github's
auto-generated tarballs. Those are missing a "VERSION" file.

The thing is, that during script-generation, the current version is
deduced from the state of the git repository (nearest version tag, etc).
Since that state is not a available in tarballs, I'm add that VERSION
file when I'm generating those release tarballs.

The version information in the manpages will be broken. And the script
will report "VERSION" instead of the actual version (ie "4.0").

I am always uploading properly generated tarballs to

You're welcome!

Oops, I hadn't realized this.

(I just took the "tag-tarball" because I had a problem with the
debian/watch file and tried to be clever instead of fixing it :/)

That's indeed bad™.

Ok, adding VERSION via a patch doesn't work, since it's used at
release time and not at build time.
So I guess that leaves us with the fake version. Frank, do you have
any preference for the +suffix?

(And sorry for messing up.)

Cheers,
gregor

I was fairly sure this would work...

I tried this:

[snip]
% tar xvvf arename_4.0.orig.tar.gz
% cd ft-arename-02a464e
% tar xvvzf ../arename_4.0-1.debian.tar.gz
% echo 4.0 > VERSION
% debuild -us -uc
% perl -I. arename --version
arename 4.0
[snap]

So, a patch before the "make genperlscipts" would do the trick, wouldn't
it?

Adding VERSION as a patch would work I guess.

Thanks, applied upstream.

...or you know: echo 4.0 > VERSION
