Re: [Plplot-devel] Debian gets 5.1.0, CVS updated

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Thanks, Dave, for working on this.

I am fairly ignorant of the mechanics of working with branches, but I
presume that the DEBIAN tag I see on your CVS changes in the debian
subdirectory refers to changes on the DEBIAN branch that Rafael set up
some time ago.  Is it also true that the rest of the DEBIAN branch is
indistinguishable from 5.1.0 except for the minor patch below?

If so, I would appreciate you copying the debian subdirectory to CVS HEAD
(including the minor patch which you could keep as a special file in the
debian subdirectory.) I am assuming here that all changes would be confined
to the debian subdirectory.  BTW, this is exactly how the KDE debs are
maintained.  KDE CVS HEAD includes a debian subdirectory which is updated
from time to time by the Debian package maintainer so that anybody can build
their own KDE debs directly from KDE CVS HEAD.

Of course, the big advantage of making Debian buildable from CVS HEAD is you
don't perpetually have to play catch-up with all the rest of the CVS HEAD
changes that currently have to be migrated to the DEBIAN branch.
Furthermore, if the debian subdirectory exists for CVS HEAD, I could always
test on my Debian system that the debs remain at least buildable with all
our CVS HEAD changes.

If you follow up on my request, I suspect you will not need the second part
of the patch for current CVS HEAD.

BTW, some of my current linking changes have messed up relocatibility of the
install location (required for both rpm and deb packaging).  I am working on
fixing that at the moment, but once that is done, it would be most
interesting to see if debs could be built from CVS HEAD.
