[Pkg-parrot-devel] Parrot 4.3.0 with FTBFS fix, should we package it?

[Alessandro Ghedini]

Hi all,

I have just created a new repository on git.debian.org to hold the parrot
packaging [0]. It is based on the github repository of Allison, with the
addition of the newer Debian versions.

I have also imported the upstream release 4.3.0 in the topic/release-4.3.0 [1]
branch. I haven't done much changes, though I am planning to import the
dh_parrot plugin and friend soonish. You can build the current version with:

> git clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-parrot/parrot.git
> git buildpackage --git-debian-branch=topic/release-4.3.0

I have already tested it with the new releases of both NQP and Rakudo, and
everything seems to work fine. In any case, before uploading the new version, I
would wait for 4.0.0 to migrate to testing (that is roughly a couple of weeks if
everything goes fine).

Allison, when you have a bit of time, it would be nice if you could have a look
and comment on this (anything that should be done?). If you have any
non-published changes in you local repository we can either push them to the
new repository, or delete it and create another one.

Cheers
