As announced in [1] I now uploaded debian-science metapackages targeting
at Wheezy. The changes in the debian-science package are to a large
extend auto generated by blends-dev and the full debdiff (attached
debian-science_0.16-1.0.debdiff.gz) is a bit hard to read because the
files in tasks/ are serving at the same time used as documentation for
the Debian Science web sentinel[2]. There is no reasonable way to
maintain this in a separate source so the diff is larger than you would
usually accept these days. However, this was explained in [1] and was
done this way in the last releases as well (and recently for other
Blends).
To enable you concentrating on the *relevant* changes which are caused
due to changes in the package pool (some packages became removed and
some became accepted since the last generation of the metapackages) I
have split of the parts of the debdiff which are more easy to inspect to
see what relevant changes in the dependencies have actually happended.
Please feel free to inspect:
debian-science_0.16-1.0.debdiff_tasks.gz:
diff -Nru debian-science-0.16/debian-science-tasks.desc debian-science-1.0/debian-science-tasks.desc
--- debian-science-0.16/debian-science-tasks.desc 2012-04-17 11:11:32.000000000 +0200
+++ debian-science-1.0/debian-science-tasks.desc 2013-04-15 12:00:00.000000000 +0200
This shows in the most simple way what recommends were added / removed
debian-science_0.16-1.0.debdiff_control.gz:
diff -Nru debian-science-0.16/debian/changelog debian-science-1.0/debian/changelog
--- debian-science-0.16/debian/changelog 2012-04-17 11:11:11.000000000 +0200
+++ debian-science-1.0/debian/changelog 2013-04-15 10:40:41.000000000 +0200
diff -Nru debian-science-0.16/debian/control debian-science-1.0/debian/control
--- debian-science-0.16/debian/control 2012-04-17 11:11:35.000000000 +0200
+++ debian-science-1.0/debian/control 2013-04-15 12:00:04.000000000 +0200
This extract from debdiff shows the changes inside debian/.
debian-science_control_0.16-1.0.wdiff.gz:
This was created using
wdiff debian-science-0.16/debian/control debian-science-1.0/debian/control > debian-science_control_0.16-1.0.wdiff
and is a better way to see the differences in the list of Recommends / Suggests
inside the metapackages than a plain diff.
Feel free to ask for any further information if needed.
Kind regards and thanks for working on the Wheezy release
Andreas.
