[Debian-pan-maintainers] packaging procedure

[PICCA Frederic-Emmanuel]

Hello Sergi,

> How is your schedule about the ufo-core?

I just put some efforts in order to build ufo-core from github.

the idea was to understand what need to be bacported in order to build ufo-core and ufo-filters for the current stable.

you can do oalso

gbp import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan


Matthias whom is the upstream of ufo will be at SOLEIL next week, So I will discuss with him of the buildsystem of ufo.
so for now the official build system is cmake.

In the current packaging I based the debian package on the autotools version.
So since we --uscan from github, the best things to do is to import the 0.8.0 and to build using cmake :)

So it seems to me that once uploaded the 0.8.0 versionm it would be great to tune debian/control and the rules files in order to build using cmake.


In order to use cmake, you should add cmake to the build dependencies
in debian /rules you sould remove the override_dh_auto_configure


tell me if it is better with these modifications, once you imported the current 0.8.0 version into the git repository.

Ps: It is great to put the mailing list

Cheers

Fred
