Re: Maq packaging (Was: Maq: Strange 64bit issue)

from the maq manpage, it seems that users are expected to be able to run
maq or maq.pl in command line, so they definitely will have to go to
/usr/bin. maq.pl is a pipeline that calls many maq programs (themselves
called through /usr/bin maq). If this is a good reason for keeping the
.pl extension, we can write a Lintian override,
Well, I don't mind about an override if it makes sense. If the docs say
"call maq.pl" we should not change the name - but I have not found docs
saying this explicitely.
otherwise let's discuss
the issue with Upstream. Same for the undocumented Perl scripts: let's
write a minimal POD manpage and submit the diff as a bug report in
SourceForge.
Would you take over this job because I'm not very comfortable with POD?
Moreover once you are at it in their bug tracker I - I'm curious about
the other scripts not automatically installed by the installer.
Unfortunately it still crashes. I will ask on debian-powerpc and keep
you informed.
While I can perfectly build a reasonable package the executable fails:
$ /usr/bin/maq
-bash: /usr/bin/maq: cannot execute binary file
$ ldd /usr/bin/maq
ldd: exited with unknown exit code (126)
I expect another 64 bit issue and will continue asking on debian-devel.
Kind regards
Andreas.
