Re: Bug#89433: I want to adopt osh



Oohara Yuuma <oohara@libra.interq.or.jp> cum veritate scripsit:

Some things I noticed:

o MAXPATHLEN is not available on some systems.

p Is writing something like:
 Note that this license is not compatible with the GPL.  This means that
 you can't redistribute the binary of osh if it is complied with libraries
 licensed under the GPL.  The debian package is compiled with libc6 and
 libncurses5, which seem to have no problem to me (Oohara Yuuma), but I am
 not a lawyer.
into a Debian pacakge copyright file a good idea?

o DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug,nostrip" && debuild 
  will never work, because debuild does unset env vars.
  DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="xxxx" dpkg-buildpackage 
  DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="xxxx" debian/rules
  should work though.

o Why are you commenting out static char *rcsid ?
o Adding extra {} in if statements does not seem to help anything
o What is the point of:
+/*
 fatal(mes)
+*/
+int fatal(mes)
and other changes, with commented-out changes?

o Why are you building the binary with -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer?
o are you sending the mods to the upstream ? / have you
  contacted the upstream ?



My personal feeling is that I don't like large diffs,
and Debian-specific modifications.
