[Debichem-devel] libodsstream packaging (Was: Bug#879556: ITP: beads -- 2-DE electrophoresis gel image spot detection)

[Olivier Langella]

Hi Andreas,

it seems that the dh_auto_build problem is fixed. from what I understood of the debian helper automatic mecanisms, overriding is not easy because one must keep the same logic (creating and naming temporary directories...), but it is possible to only inject cmake arguments to the configuration step or inject make targets in the build step.
I've also seen that the man page I've left in the package was the QuaZip one. I left it here in order to make my own but I forgot it. It's fixed now, but I guess I am yet far from the debian quality requirements.

have a nice day,
Best regards,
Olivier

Hello Andreas,

Yes you're right, I've made some changes and made the git repository 
with the very latest version 0.4.11 but didn't published it yet on :
https://sourcesup.renater.fr/frs/download.php/latestfile/963/libodsstream-0.4.11.tar.gz

This is updated now, you may will notice that the package file name is 
slightly different:
this is because for the 0.4.10 (libodsstream_0.4.10-1.tar.gz) , I've 
uploaded the tar gz file generated by my own dpkg-build... I think it is 
better to make a proper targz and separate it from dpkg, so I will now 
upload "real" targz files.

I see that there is already a lot of work.
Thanks a lot, I'm still struggling to get a correct pbuilder environment 
to be able to compile it with sid (I'm working in stretch).
If I can solve it, I will push some fix.

Yes, this is planned. I've just finished the Qt5 port of my softwares, 
and I have also a working version of beads in Qt5, so it is possible to 
drop it...
I had the hope that perhaps some people could be interested in 
libodsstream : it can read and write ODS files using a kind of "SAX" 
approach. As many people still use Qt4, I thought it might be usefull.

Cheers,
Olivier
