Patches for MUMmer
Hi,
I prepared a Debian package from your new version of MUMmer. To build
the packages I had to do some pathces which I want to foreward to
you with this mail. All patches are available from our SVN at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med/trunk/packages/mummer/trunk/debian/patches/?rev=0&sc=0
Explanation of the patches ("sm" means done by Steffen Moeller, "at"
means done by Andreas Tille = me):
01sm_docs.diff:
Build pdf instead of dvi which seems to be more convinient these days.
01sm_src_kurtz.diff:
Makefile polishing.
01sm_src_tigr.diff:
Besides some minor stuff in the Makefile it is probably the most
important patch that fixes a buffer overflow and should definitely
applied very soon. This is the most important patch for all users
of MUMmer.
02at_Makefile.diff:
Makefile polishing.
02at_docs_web.diff:
Debian is not allowed to distribute the documentation files because
they are copyrightet. So I replaced the links to local files to
the representation of the files in the net. I'm not sure whether
this patch is reasonable for your distribution. In any case you
should make sure that it is OK to ship the docs and your code in
one file because the licenses of code and doc are very different.
02at_scripts.diff:
Because csh scripts would add some extra Dependency of a C-shell
implementation to the Debian package these scripts are deprecated.
That's why Steffen and me ported your csh scripts to POSIX shell.
Feel free to take this over into your distribution as replacement
or in addition to your scripts. The Makefile that installs shell
and perl scripts was made much simpler - you can change this
easily in case you would like to stay with C-Shell (which is
your decision for sure.
Feel free to ask me for providing the changed files explicitely or
to provide the patches directly in an archive in kind you have
trouble accessing our SVN reporitory.
Kind regards
Andreas.
