[Pkg-electronics-devel] gwave package bugs.. fixes

[Peter Clifton]

Hi guys,

A user has reported an issue with the gwave package in Ubuntu.
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwave/+bug/482748


Turns out the bug has been fixed upstream already, so I proposed the
following debdiff:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35719155/gwave_20090213-1ubuntu1_gwave_20090213-1ubuntu2.debdiff

This also removes some spuriously included files in the .diff.gz left
over from the binary build. Probably the package clean rules could do
with updating a little.


Note that the Ubuntu package is already patched w.r.t the Debian one, in
that they added a Depends: on guile-gnome2-gtk

  * Add dependency on guile-gnome2-gtk to fix segfault at launch (LP: #414297).

For the upload I was proposing to Ubuntu, they didn't want me to add a
patch system (dpatch) as I used in the above debdiff. The debdiff with
_only_ the changes (no patch), is here:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35730112/gwave_20090213-1ubuntu1_gwave_20090213-1ubuntu2.debdiff


Anyone fancy sponsoring an upload for me (or whatever the Debian process
for allowing a relative noob like me push packages is?). If anyone is
keen to fix the package without my further involvement, that would also
be great!

Best wishes,
