Re: [FSP-devel] FSP project is looking for Debian packager

[Radim K. <hs...@se...>]

Thank you for offered help with re/creating debian package for fsp.

What needs to be done:

fsp b24 (server and clients) are packaged for debian lenny and removed  
 from newer debian due to lack of interest from package maintainer.

This FSP old versions were built with gnu autotools. fsp b25 and later are  
built by SCons. I migrated from autotools because i was tired with  
updating autotools breaks build every time.

Packaging will be bit different then. I did same build system change for  
fsplib 0.10 (packaged in debian too) so you can look at it as packaging  
example.

Currently i dont have working tarball which you can package, you must pull  
sourcecode from bzr repository at sf.net or wait few days before i release  
next version. I discovered that b25 and older versions are broken with  
newer libc used on Ubuntu 8.04 and most likely in debian testing/unstable  
too. They still compile, but client programs segfaults. Probably for  
package creation process b25 should be good approximation.

Getting latest code:

bzr checkout bzr://fsp.sourceforge.net/bzrroot/fsp/fsp/

and making tarball:

bzr export fsp-2.8.1b26.tar.bz2
