Changes since the last upload:
* [84c7923] New upstream version 0.1.2
* [162a878] Removed debian/patches/spelling.diff. Fixed in upstream.
* [881573d] Removed debian/patches/copyright.diff. This information
belongs into debian/copyright
* [d834177] Removed debian/patches/userd.diff, upstream removed that
part
* [86c646e] Build man-pages from source, remove pre-compiled copies in
debian/man1
* [0452a37] Build HTML version of UserGuide, depend on libjs-mathjax
* [e0e97d7] Added missing build-deps: graphviz
* [0a2c68d] Move to straight dh sequencer with parallel builds enabled
- The debhelper version present in Ubuntu precise doesn't contain
the fix for the CPPFLAGS variable being ignored by CMake
(#668813), so also add the manual workaround, just to make sure.
- Removed build-depends on cdbs
- Bumped minimum required version of debhelper to 7.0.50~.
- Keep dh_installchangelogs from trying to install doc/changes/ as
a file
* [63668d2] Split off Python module into python{,3}-freefoam, move to
dh_python*
- Changed build-dependency from python-all to simply python added
new
- Build-depends on python3
- Add X-Python{,3}-Version tags
* [59cd2fe] Install private binaries into /usr/lib/freefoam/bin
* [2a39577] Fix bogus lintian override
* [1240767] Cleanup debian/control, fix Homepage/Source entries
* [703e36b] Make debian/copyright complete, cleanup
* [b87d5f9] Do not version plugins directory
* [037f959] Properly assign files to correct package in
debian/*.install. Requires new build-depends on bash-completion.
* [2bdf7d5] Link docs of freefoam-{dev,user}-docs into
/usr/share/docs/freefoam
* [36a0288] Added debian/patches/disable-git-version-check.diff.
Instead of querying git about the build number, use the Debian
version.
* [981346d] Override warnings about useless ldconfig calls
* [e4c2b99] Add Michael Wild to the uploaders
* [02f2ab1] Added
debian/patches/fix-doc-urls-and-references-for-debian.diff.
Update the installation directories accordingly in
debian/freefoam-*-doc.install.
* [63e9652] Added
debian/patches/remove-hard-coded-python-modules-path.diff.
For the build to work it is now required to set the PYTHONPATH
environment variable in debian/rules.
* [06d66a3] Add multiarch support
* [658f053] Create debug-symbols packages {lib,}freefoam-dbg
* [13446a4] Build hardened libraries and executables. This requires
CMake/FOAMUtilities.cmake to be patched, otherwise it would be
impossible to pass the PIE flags to the executables only in CMake.
- Added d/p/add-DEB_EXE_COMPILE_LINKER_FLAGS-to-build-system.diff
- Added a build-depends on hardening-includes
Gerber van der Graaf, who originally packaged the freefoam-0.1.0-1
package asked me to add myself directly to the uploaders and asking for
sponsorship instead of going through him.
I think with the modifications I made I fixed some important bugs, some
of which I would consider to be RC. E.g. 0.1.0-1 contained some non-free
source and documentation files. Also, the documentation as it is
currently installed is pretty buggy and does not work as expected. Also,
the *.so symlinks where not split off into the libfreefoam-dev package
and the Python files where not separated into python* packages.
Some of these bugs I fixed directly in the upstream project, resulting
in FreeFOAM-0.1.2, a pure bug-fix version. Then I imported this new
upstream release, and applied all my fixes to the package, whose
changelog you can see above.
Now, my question is how I should proceed properly. Is it acceptable to
upload freefoam-0.1.2-1 despite the freeze given that the new version is
only a bug-fix release?
Regards,
Michael Wild
