Hello world, I've started playing around with verifying binary<->source relationships the past few days, and I've come across a number of packages that appear to have newer versions of the binaries than the source. The main reason for this seems to be arch specific NMUs by the porters, but there are a few seemingly normal maintainer uploads too. It'd be nice if this could be minimised somewhat. Ideally, it'd be nice if it were reduced to just uploads of the -x.x.1 variety (arch specific recompiles). Even more ideally, it'd be nice if the Packages.gz entries for these included a `source: foo (y-x.x)' so it's completely clear that these are just recompiles. Anyway, the list of affected packages for i386, m68k, alpha, sparc and powerpc follows. FWIW, etc. no source at all: (9 packages) ---------------- (presumably leftovers that the ftp-admins missed removing?) sparc: kernel-source-2.2.9 (2.2.0-2), binary: kernel-image-2.2.9-sun4u powerpc: mh-ja (6.8.4-jp.3.02-4) workplace (1.0.a4.1-1) libtricks (0.2-5) sorcerer (1.0) gtksamba (1:0.3.2pl1-4), binary: gtksamba-gnome, gtksamba libcanlock (0.0.980924-1), binary: libcanlock0{,-dev} gmp2 (2.0.2-6.2), binary: gmp2{,-dev} libjpeg (6a-11), binary: libjpegg{6a,-dev} upstream/maintainer changes: (7 packages) --------------------------- (the maintainers of these have been cc'ed) clanlib0 0.1.16-2: i386 has 0.1.18-1 rosegarden 2.1-3: i386 has 2.1-4 pan 0.5.2-1: i386 has 0.5.2-2 htp 1.10-2: i386 1.10-3 mac-fdisk 0.1-1: m68k has 0.1-2 lde 2.4-5pre1.1: m68k, sparc, powerpc have 2.4-5.1 clips 6.0-2: alpha, sparc have 6.0-3.1 normal nmus: (43 packages) ----------- yagirc 19981014-1: alpha has 19981014-1.1 libsrp-dev 1.1-1: alpha has 1.1-1.1 xloadimage 4.1-3: alpha has 4.1-3.1 iglooftp 0.6.1-1: alpha has 0.6.1-1.1 uqwk 1.8-2: alpha has 1.8-2.1 tclmidi 3.1-4: sparc has 3.1-4.1 bwbasic 2.20pl2-3: sparc has 2.20pl2-3.1 netdiag 0.6-3.2: sparc has 0.6-3.2.1 frad 0.20-2: sparc has 0.20-2.1 zile 1.0a5-3: sparc has 1.0a5-3.1 egcs1.0 1.0.3a-2: sparc has 1.0.3a-2.1 xmgr 4.1.2-2: sparc has 4.1.2-2.1 cern-httpd 3.0A-2: sparc has 3.0A-2.1 ruari-diff 0.15: sparc has 0.15-0.1 uqwk 1.8-2: sparc has 1.8-2.1 tk4.2 4.2p2-7: sparc has 4.2p2-7.1 xview 3.2p1.4-5: sparc has 3.2p1.4-5.1 umich-ldap 3.3-3: sparc has 3.3-3.1 libg++27 2.7.2.1-14.4: sparc has 2.7.2.1-14.4.2 xaw95 1.1-4.4: sparc has 1.1-4.4.1 ifcico-cm 3.0alpha.4.0-1: sparc has 3.0alpha.4.0-1.1 cti-ifhp 2.2.8-1: sparc has 2.2.8-1.1 tcl7.6 7.6p2-8: sparc has 7.6p2-8.1 gmp 2.0.2-3: sparc has 2.0.2-3.1 macgate 1.14-3: sparc has 1.14-3.1 xbattle 5.4.1-7: sparc has 5.4.1-7.1 icon 9.3-1.1: powerpc has 9.3-1.2 r-cran 0.63.0-1: powerpc has 0.63.0-1.1 clanlib0 0.1.16-2: powerpc has 0.1.16-2.1 xmotd 1.14b3-1.2: powerpc has 1.14b3-1.3 acm 4.7-6: powerpc has 4.7-6.1 smb-nat 10-2: powerpc has 10-2.1 jgraph 83-10: powerpc has 83-10.1 xzip 1.70-3: powerpc has 1.70-3.1 xfree86-1 3.3.5-1: powerpc has 3.3.5-1.1 radiusd-livingston 1.16.1-0.1: powerpc has 1.16.1-0.2 xvier 1.0-5: powerpc has 1.0-5.1 gtkfontsel 1.1-3: powerpc has 1.1-3.0.1 timeoutd 1.5-2: powerpc has 1.5-2.1 xgammon 0.98a-3: powerpc has 0.98a-3.1 libdbi-perl 1.12-1: powerpc has 1.12-1.1 xinput 1.2-3: powerpc has 1.2-3.1 recompiles: (31 packages) ---------- gimp 1.0.4-2: i386 has 1.0.4-2.0.1 tclx76 7.6.0-3: m68k has 7.6.0-3.0.1 tk4.2 4.2p2-7: m68k has 4.2p2-7.0.1 gstep-core 0.5.5.990625-1: m68k 0.5.5.990625-1.0.1 gcc 2.95.2-0pre2: m68k has 1:2.95.2-0pre2.0.2 perl-tk 1:800.014-1.1: alpha has 1:800.014-1.1.1 guitar 0.1.4-4: alpha has 0.1.4-4.0.1 gnome-think 0.1.2-1: alpha has 0.1.2-1.0.1 eperl 2.2.14-0.5: alpha has 2.2.14-0.5.1 balsa 0.4.9-1.1.1: alpha has 0.4.9-1.1.2 libterm-readkey-perl 2.14-1: alphas has 2.14-1.0.1 enlightenment-conf 0.15-1: alpha has 0.15-1.0.1 libmime-base64-perl 2.11-2: alpha has 2.11-2.0.1 enlightenment 0.15.5-1: alpha has 0.15.5-1.0.1 gide 0.1.0.19990402-1: alpha has 0.1.0.19990402-1.0.1 gnome-guile 0.99.0.cvs.19990627-1: alpha has 0.99.0.cvs.19990627-1.0.1 dds2tar 2.4.21-2: alpha has 2.4.21-2.0.1 bock 0.20: alpha has 0.20.0.1 gnome-network 1.0.2-1: alpha has 1.0.2-1.0.1 xcircuit 2.0a6-3: alpha has 2.0a6-3.0.1 xaw95 1.1-4.4: alpha has 1.1-4.4.0.1 libxml-parser-perl 2.26-1: alpha has 2.26-1.0.1 lsof 4.43-1: alpha has 4.43-1.0.1 gaby 1.9.6-0.1: alpha has 1.9.6-0.1.1 binutils-m68k-linux 2.9.1.0.12-1: alpha has 2.9.1.0.12-1.0.1 libdbi-perl 1.12-1: alpha has 1.12-1.0.1 gedit 0.5.3-1: alpha has 0.5.3-1.0.1 altgcc 2.7.2.2-3.4: sparc has 1:2.7.2.2-3.4.1 libmime-base64-perl 2.11-2: sparc has 2.11-2.0.1 ncftp2 1:2.4.3-2: powerpc has 1:2.4.3-2.0.1 Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
