[Pkg-gambas-devel] Bug#807061: Bug#807061: gambas 3.8.0 needed! very deprecated gambas 3.6 in sid/jeesie

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi Ian,

I did update to 3.8.4 a few seconds ago, built and tested on a clean sid environment.

I had to tweak the control file for the gsl library transition (changes pushed on git),
closed this bug in changelog, and I also had to remove the qt4 stuff (I ran dpkg -i on all the
built .deb files and it obviously failed because of the conflict)

I also changed some duplicated build dependency, triggering some lintian warning.

Since we have some RC bugs, and many many fixes in experimental (and the package isn't in testing right now)
how do you feel about uploading on unstable?

I can perform the upload if needed, just ask me.

We have a really bad package right now in unstable, and we should fix it in my opinion.

http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/gambas3/3.8.4-1/buildlog
a clean build is also ongoing there.

(this will also fix the current lintian error against a bad PHP license)

I can't promise the package will have a smooth upgrade path, because adequate doesn't perform well with it, also piuparts
(at least the errors seems false positive).

(but we can fix this later if needed)

(I'll probably upload in deferred/15 to give maintainers time to react)


cheers,


G.
