Can you help me to test treeviewx?
Dear all,
I am packaging [1] TreeView X, a viewer for phylogenetic trees[2]. I can
build it successfully on the powerpc architecture, but can you try to
build it[3] on the others? I have uploaded the package on debian mentors
to make it available to all[4].
[1] http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/treeviewx/
[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352506
[3] deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
[4] http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/treeviewx/
Also, I experience a very unfortunate bug in the display of text, could
you tell me if you reproduce it ? Here is a screenshot [5] showing that
TreeViewX does not display the labels of the branches correctly.
(However, the SVG export is fine).

The picture shows, from left to right, the TreeViewX window, the tree
exported in svg format and displayed by svgdisplay, and the tree
displayed by another program, njplot.
Lastly, I have a few questions :
- A gzipped empty changelog file is created, but I do not understand
where it is coming from.
- The diff.gz contains some unwanted files named confing.sub and
config.guess, which seem to be transferred from /usr/share by the
rules file. however, I do not understand the purpose of this.
# Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
-$(MAKE) distclean
ifneq "$(wildcard /usr/share/misc/config.sub)" ""
cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.sub config.sub
endif
ifneq "$(wildcard /usr/share/misc/config.guess)" ""
cp -f /usr/share/misc/config.guess config.guess
endif
- Although I used dpatch, and added an unpatch instruction
debian/rules, the diff.gz file contains the diff between the patched
files and the original ones. Isn't "clean" called before the
generation of the diff.gz file ?
PS: I wanted to ask why linda and lintian complained about the menu
entry in Apps/Sciences, but I just understood why: I copied the
behaviour of NJpolt, Kalzium and Kstars, which is wrong, it should be
Apps/Science. Aargh.
Have a nice day,
