[ddccontrol-devel] Debian packaging, take 2

[Roberto C. S. <ro...@fa...>]

Hello,

I finally made some time to work on packaging for Debian.  I have the
package almost complete, however the build has numerous warnings.  For
example:

 i486-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I..
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -I/usr/include/libxml2 -Wall -g -O2
-Wall -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share/ddccontrol-db\" -DBINDIR=\"/usr/bin\" -MT
ddcci.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/ddcci.Tpo -c ddcci.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o
.libs/ddcci.o
ddcci.c: In function 'i2c_write':
ddcci.c:273: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'dumphex'
differ
in signedness
ddcci.c:305: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'dumphex'
differ
in signedness
ddcci.c: In function 'i2c_read':
ddcci.c:343: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'dumphex'
differ
in signedness
ddcci.c:378: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'dumphex'
differ
in signedness
ddcci.c: In function 'ddcci_read_edid':
ddcci.c:795: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of
'snprintf' differ in signedness

This seems to me to be partly because gcc-4.0 is more strict.  Since
this is the default compiler in Sid I really need to resolve these
before I feel comfortable trying to have the package uploaded.
Additionally, gcc-4.1 will shortly become the default for Debian Sid and
I think that will only create more problems.

I have the complete log of the build if anyone is interested:
