[needs upgrade] Code::Blocks 8.02 -> 10.05

stable release > nightly build

There is a new release (10.5). I think now its time for an upgrade.

There is a debian folder in upstream tarball joined to build system (autotools) of Codeblocks...

Well, debian.tar.gz available...

Hi,

I've seen several things that needs to be fixed:
- debian: you have a Makefile.in and Makefile.am file in the directory. I think they should be deleted.
- debian/lintian: you also have a Makefile.am and Makefile.in files there

Lintian also throw some wishlist messages:
- libcodeblocks0: no-symbols-control-file
- codeblocks-dbg: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
- codeblocks-contrib-dbg: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
- codeblocks-dev: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
and a warning:
W: libwxsmithlib0: description-contains-duplicated-word for for

- debian/control:
  * you don't need to build depend on quilt for 3.0(quilt) format.
  * latest standards-version is 3.9.1. Please update
- what happend to the sharedmime file?
- The copyright file changed. I think that the previous one is the good one...
- did you considered moving to a dh7 tiny rules file? This would make, I think, your rules file smaller and easier to maintain.
- what you are doing in get-orig-source can be achieve wit hthe watch file (it can execute a script after downloading the file)

As soon as you get an updated package, p lease change back the status to New and subscribe again sponsors.

Thanks for your work,

Fabrice

Then...

* you don't need to build depend on quilt for 3.0(quilt) format.

I think not -> http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0#Doesa3.0.28quilt.29sourcepackageneedtobuild-dependonquilt.3F

* The copyright file changed. I think that the previous one is the good one...

Done

* what you are doing in get-orig-source can be achieve with the watch file (it can execute a script after downloading the file)

-> I do not know how to do it (execute a script) and the information that I found about watch file & uscan doesn't help
-> I update watch file to use berlios.de host but uscan resolves a incorrect newer release (10.05-debian1-src > 10.05-src)
-> I think that a bash script is more easy to understand and mantain that watch file & uscan system... also, I don't see any way to make a checksum of upstream tarball with that system...

I forget remove:

echo "Removing debian upstream directory"
rm -rf codeblocks-$CODEBLOCKS_VERSION/debian

of get-orig-source.

Reupload debian.tar.gz

Revert symbols control file -> FTBFS on i386 arch

I think that this is the final version.

get-orig-source: Please use the command execution (action) feature of uscan. (Or at the very least, a get-orig-source rule in debian/rules, as recommended by Debian Policy) Also, please pass "--owner root --group root" to tar when creating the orig.tar.bz2.

The new debian policy is recommending against shipping .la files, can we drop them?

> I think not -> http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0#Doesa3.0.28quilt.29sourcepackageneedtobuild-dependonquilt.3F

Corrcect, so why not remove debian/rules from the rules file.

> -> I do not know how to do it (execute a script) and the information that I found about watch file & uscan doesn't help

Look for "action" in the manpage.

To get de source

-> unpack debian.tar.gz file
-> run fakeroot debian/rules get-orig-source
-> remove upstream debian dir
-> copy debian dir of debian.tar.gz file

Any comment is appreciated

About uscan & watch file:

-> uscan detects bad the current version of codeblocks (codeblocks-10.05-1debian-src.tar.bz2 > codeblocks-10.05-src.tar.bz2)
-> I still don't know how to make a checksum and exclude files. I see uscan manpage but I still don't understand half of it

...and get-orig-source script works without any problem... ¬_¬

If anyone knows how to fix uscan & watch, go ahead! I'm not going to spend more time.

Uploading, package is at acceptable quality and the freeze is nigh, although it could still use some future work in the next release.

> -> I still don't know how to make a checksum and exclude files. I see uscan manpage but I still don't understand half of it

That's ok, it's at least policy compliant now.

Remaining issues:
* The package doesn't clean properly, building it twice results in a config.log being added to a debian-changes-XXX quilt patch.
* There are better ways to handle parallel building these days, in particular, the way to check if building should be parallel is to look in the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment variable (see debian policy).
* The shared libraries should probably have symbol files.

This bug was fixed in the package codeblocks - 10.05-0ubuntu1
