  • Packaging libsigc++ 3.x branch?

    From Boyuan Yang@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 12 22:40:01 2022
    Dear Debian GTK/GNOME Team members,

    I maintain some software that needs 3.x version of libsigc++ library in its newer releases[1]. However, only the 2.x branch is available in Debian [2].
    As a result, I am wondering if it's okay for us to package the 3.x branch.

    I have prepared a packaging repo at [3] with completed packaging instruction and copyright review. I am wondering if it's okay to maintain libsigc++-3.0 under Debian GNOME Team similar to the 2.x branch package, or if I should
    place the packaging repo under salsa.debian.org/debian/ and have it uploaded
    to NEW queue for review first.

    If you find any issues with my packaging scripts, please let me know
    (ideally with a patch). Any suggestion would be appreciated. A known issue
    is the Uploader substitution in control.in for GNOME team and I haven't
    figured out the solution, but this should be a minor problem.

    Thanks,
    Boyuan

    Hi,

    I apologize that we didn't reply to your email earlier. Thank you very
    much for packaging this library update!

    I went ahead and pushed the packaging to https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/libsigcplusplus-3.0
    You'll need to re-clone because it uses different branch names
    (upstream/latest instead of upstream especially).

    gbp clone [email protected]:gnome-team/libsigcplusplus-3.0.git

    I rebased your commits on top of the libsigc++-2.0 git repo to
    preserve the git history & some packaging details.
    I guess you should get the https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ repo
    deleted or at least archived now.

    We don't have documentation for how to package a renamed library like
    this and the rest of our documentation [1] is missing a lot of
    details. Sorry!

    I have begun work on packaging gtkmm4.0 and its dependencies. Did you
    have any other related app you were looking at packaging or is it just easyeffects?

    Please let us know if you need any more help.

    Easyeffects used to depend on gtkmm4.0 but not anymore. I think there's no other extra package work needed for now.

    I noticed that libsigc++-3.0/3.2.0-4 did not properly handle symbol files,
    such as using 2.x version strings, debian revision in versions (lintian
    error) and unmatched symbols for different archs. Since you added this
    symbol file, it would be great if you can fix it and have libsigc++-3.0 migrated to Testing at least once.

    Thanks,
    Boyuan Yang
