Re: Mesa 6.4.2 and 6.5, Release Candidates
For the most part, your release candidates look good, and I'm pleased
to report that they build without errors on my amd64 box. However, I
found the autogenerated mesa-swx11-source.install files to be a bit
off. The main problem is one of formatting: dh_install always
interprets destination paths as *directories*, so repeating filenames
backfires badly, yielding unusable binary packages. In addition, the
new approach seems to be major overkill -- whereas 6.4.1-0.4 shipped
349 files totalling ~7.6M, 6.4.2-1 ships 1060 files totalling ~18.3M.
I would suggest either maintaining the .install file directly, but
with wildcarded source paths (cutting the contents down to a
reasonable 31 lines by my count) or else fixing the logic as follows:
diff -u mesa-6.4.2/debian/rules mesa-6.4.2/debian/rules
--- mesa-6.4.2/debian/rules

With that packaging issue out of the way, I was able to confirm that
bug #364228 is no more; thanks!
