Resending this message to the right address this time. I hope I didn't flood anyone's box with my previous attempt. Bye, Mt. PS: please CC me on replies ----- Forwarded message from Martin Quinson <martin.quinson@loria.fr> ----- Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 09:06:45 +0100 From: Martin Quinson <martin.quinson@loria.fr> To: debian-release@debian.org Subject: May I upload quilt? Hello, I have a version of quilt in mind. The main goal would be to solve a FTBFS on misconfigured hosts. It mainly appears in chroots, but it could also appear on desktops. The fact is that currently, one of the regresion tests launched after the build relly on the fact that /etc/mailname or the hostname are FQDN. I got bugged 3 times recently about this. #397285, #395482, #393985. I tryied to upload a patch of mine a while ago, but it wasn't good enough to solve the problem. Goswin Brederlow provided a new, working one, in #397285. I know we're rather close to the release by now, but the changes are limited to the testsuite run after the build. The rest of the package is completely unchanged. The package itself is binary: all (thanks, vorlon) so there is no risk of strange side effect in rebuild, I think. If I'll allowed to do the upload, I'll take the opportunity to fix some trivia I didn't had the time to fix by now: #386548: quilt: Man page typo: invoqued -> invoked #395447: quilt: spelling errors #396093: quilt: Please add procmail to suggest list Thanks for your time, Mt. -- I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Testis unus, testis nullius.
