I'm about to upload updated TrustedQSL packages 'tqsllib (2.2)' and 'trustedqsl (1.13)' to Debian unstable[1]. Here's a summary/recap of the recent work that led up to these updates... Some months ago, Jerry Stueve K4INT packaged those new upstream versions of tqsllib and trustedqsl and uploaded them to mentors.debian.net[2] but they never did get reviewed or uploaded to Debian unstable. Last week, Jonathan Marsden N6JU independently packaged the same versions for his Ubuntu PPA[3]. Jonathan determined that the sources fail to build in Ubuntu Natty because the custom library checks in their configure scripts don't properly handle the new multi-arch library paths[4]. (Jonathan hacked the configure script to force it to build). Yesterday, I reviewed Jerry's packages, patched them with my own fixes for Jonathan's multi-arch library handling problem and other library dependency issues, plus fixed and some additional glitches (see my changelogs and individual debian/patches/ patches for details[5]). Since we've already got a couple of "-1" revision package sets floating around, I gave my packages revision "-2". Today, I will upload the tqsllib (2.2-2) package from [5] to Debian unstable. Once it builds and gets installed to the archive, I will upload trustedqsl (1.13-2). Ubuntu Natty is in freeze now, but we'll see about filing for an exception once this lands in Debian. Jonathan, I think you're planning to contact the trustedqsl upstream and pass them your findings about the multi-arch issue. Upstream should also be made aware that the 'trustedqsl' package doesn't actually depend directly on libssl or libexpat. My patches clean that up too (specifically "debian/patches/01*.patch") so those may be useful to them. Thanks very much Jerry and Jonathan for your work! 73 de KA6MAL -Kamal [1] the TrustedQSL packages in Debian http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/tqsllib.html http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/trustedqsl.html [2] Jerry's packages on mentors.debian.net http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=tqsllib http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=trustedqsl [3] Jonathan's Ubuntu PPA https://launchpad.net/~jmarsden/+archive/trustedqsl [4] Jonathan's analysis of the multi-arch library problem https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-hams/msg00196.html [5] Kamal's Ubuntu PPA with changelogs -- soon to be uploaded to Debian https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/trustedqsl
