Package: geneweb
Version: 4.09-25
Severity: serious
Hi,
trying to build the package in a clean environment (pbuilder chroot), I got:
(geneweb not compiling with Ocaml 3.08. Daniel�: FTBFS means that the
geneweb Debian package fails to build from sources with current Debian development environment)
Unfortunately, I just discovered this RC bug before going away for
holidays and couldn't even get time for reporting it myself.
I have asked for help about it on the debian-ocaml-maint ML as this is
a consequence of the recent switch to Ocaml 3.08. I also may need input
from Geneweb upstream author. I still need checking if I got some
answers while being away.
If the problem is not fixed before the 28th of August freeze date at the latest, i will ask for the removal of geneweb from testing so that the ocaml 3.08 transition can happen.

Not cool, when will you be back ?

If all else fail, i can prepare uploads of ocaml-3.07 packages, but i would much prefer not to have to do this. What are the dependencies and build dependencies of geneweb ?

Geneweb does not depend on any ocaml stuff. It only Build-Depends on
it:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.1.16), ocaml-best-compilers, ocaml (>=
3.04), doc-base, dh-buildinfo, iso-codes, po-debconf
Currently, I have two solutions left:
1) use a copy of Daniel CVS (he fixed geneweb so that it compiles with
3.07 and 3.08)
2) backport code changes needed for correct build to stable geneweb
4.09
I tested 1) and it works. I have a CVS snapshot from 20040815 which
builds properly
About 2), this needs help from Daniel and he probably prefers
releasing the 4.10 version of Geneweb from his CVS.
I still have to read possible answers from Daniel but I think that 1)
is the most probable way for solving this.
Unless I get clues for backporting compiling fixes in the next couple
of days, I will build a package from the CVS snapshot I have. Daniel,
do you confirm that it is ready for release?

Go for it.

I just uploaded geneweb_4.09+cvs20040815-1 with priority=high (because
of RC bug). This is a CVS snapshot of Daniel's repository made on Aug
15th.
It has been built with Ocaml 3.08 without problem.
#264898 will then be closed by it, thus the fixed geneweb will be able
to enter testing and not interfere with the ocaml transition if it
currently does.
