[Pkg-electronics-devel] RFS: UPDATE: geda-gaf 1.8.0-1

[أحمد المحمودي]

Hello,

 Please sponsor the updated package "geda-gaf". The reason I need 
 sponsoring is that libgeda38 got replaced with libgeda41.

 It builds these binary packages:
 geda       - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (metapackage)
 geda-doc   - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (documentation)
 geda-examples - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (example designs)
 geda-gattrib - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (attribute editor)
 geda-gnetlist - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (netlister)
 geda-gschem - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (schematic editor)
 geda-gsymcheck - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (symbol checker)
 geda-symbols - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (symbols library)
 geda-utils - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (utilities)
 libgeda-common - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (data files)
 libgeda-dev - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (development files)
 libgeda41  - GPL EDA -- Electronics design software (library files)

 The upload would fix these bugs: 169746, 323981, 499711, 693246

 The latest entry in the Debian changelog is:
geda-gaf (1:1.8.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. (Closes: #169746, #323981, #499711, #693246,
    LP: #876299)
  * Updated watch file
  * debian/control:
    + Bumped B-D on libgtk2.0-dev to (>= 2.16.0)
    + Bumped Guile to 2.0 in Build-Dep & libgeda-dev Depends
    + Moved mawk dependency from geda-gnetlist to geda-utils, since sw2asc
      moved there.
    + Bumped dependencies to:
      geda-symbols (>= 1:1.7.1), geda-symbols (<< 1:1.9.0~)
  * Updated debian/*.docs files
  * Removed debian/geda-examples.docs
  * Removed all patches, they got applied upstream.
  * debian/rules:
    + Removed line renaming gsymfix, it is renamed upstream
    + Remove override for dh_install, build system behaves sanely.
    + Add geda-gattrib to list of packages for which to remove
      /usr/share/doc/geda-gaf/man/
  * Removed debian/*.manpages, upstream build system already installs manpages
  * Renamed libgeda38 to libgeda41
  * Updated symbols file.
  * Add manpages.diff patch for various manpage fixes.
  * Remove useless debian/README.debian


 As required, I tested the package against unstable's version of lintian and it
 has the following issues:
W: geda-gattrib: desktop-entry-lacks-main-category usr/share/applications/geda-gattrib.desktop
W: geda-gschem: desktop-entry-lacks-main-category usr/share/applications/geda-gschem.desktop

  which is ignored for CAD tools
I: geda-symbols: package-contains-empty-directory usr/share/gEDA/sym/local/

I opted not to fix since according to Peter Clifton (who is also an 
upstream developer):

 It is somewhere intended for system wide, site-local symbols I "think".
 I'm not sure I entirely see the point. Removing it is something we could
 potentially consider for gEDA 1.8.0, along with other symbol library
 "reform".

 It is explicitly referenced as a search path for symbols in
 geda-clib.scm, so don't remove it unless you also patch that file.

also, it is an I: level issue, so I see that it is not worth the effort.

 The package can be found on Git:
