curl on hppa and why it's rdepends are BD-Uninstallable
Hello!
I just saw that someone triggered another binNMU on hppa for curl.
First of all, please write a proper binNMU changelog. Writing "Rebuild"
as the reason for a rebuild is absolutely pointless. The version suffix
"+b1" already indicates that's a rebuild, the point is, *why* did you
trigger it in the first place.
Please be so kind to your fellow porters and use the binNMU changelog
field properly. If you're really lazy, just copy the binNMU message
from the other architectures. Thank you!
Secondly, the binNMU on curl won't help because of #812542 [1]. The
rdepends of curl are BD-Uninstallable because curl still has a
hard-coded dependency on a package that gnutls28 no longer builds and
therefore this isn't a bug that cannot be fixed with a binNMU but
rather by fixing the source package itself.
In fact, since the curl maintainers haven't fixed the bug yet, I
patched the curl package for multiple ports architectures and uploaded
the package with an +$ARCH suffix in the version to unreleased which
is also the reason the curl package remains in "Uploaded" state
on these architectures (there is already a newer version in the
archive and hence the upload of the binNMU gets rejected).
Anyway, just a heads-up what's wrong with curl. And, please, proper
binNMU changelogs, people!
