Good, I feel it is in quite good shape (and incidently 0.91 catches
more user errors than 0.86). There are still a couple of things to
look at, but that does not look like blockers for an upload. Just
tell me if you'd like to make another pass before an official upload.
I notice that you repacked the orig tarball. It is not necessary, you
just have to the rename the upstream one, the directory namechange is
not necessary.
The doc-base file still refers to the pdf.gz file (heck, lintian
should detect such things, as #196122 says - er, wait, linda does
catch it ;).
There is still an install-doc snippet in prerm.
I am a bit concerned with the "checking for working fork... no"
message from configure. config.log shows the following, which reveals
a problem in the test itself, as expected. Looks like there are 2 problems:
- HAVE_UNISTD_H is not defined in this context, although it was
successfully tested for
- stdlib.h was not included
configure:6349: checking for working fork
configure:6372: g++ -o conftest -g -Wall -O2 -I/usr/include/gc conftest.cc -lreadline -lm -lcurses -lfftw3 -lgccpp -lgc >&5
conftest.cc: In function 'int main()':
conftest.cc:9: error: 'fork' was not declared in this scope
conftest.cc:10: error: 'exit' was not declared in this scope
conftest.cc:11: error: 'exit' was not declared in this scope
configure:6375: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* By Ruediger Kuhlmann. */
| #include <sys/types.h>
| #if HAVE_UNISTD_H
| # include <unistd.h>
| #endif
| /* Some systems only have a dummy stub for fork() */
| int main ()
| {
| if (fork() < 0)
| exit (1);
| exit (0);
| }
configure:6394: result: no
Not sure it does any harm, but there is sure at least one problem with
the AC_FUNC_FORK macro not taking care of stdlib.h, and a second one,
possibly but not necessarily in configure.ac, about taking previous
tests into account.
The "(cached)" comment in "checking for working vfork... (cached) yes"
also seems strange - no such previous was run before, maybe there is a
variable-name error in the AC_FUNC_FORK stuff.
Do you want to take a closer look at it ?
Best regards,
