[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#582595: grass: please rebuild against tcl/tk 8.5 in experimental

[Jonathan Nieder]

Source: grass
Version: 6.4.0~rc6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: pkg-tcltk-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: UpgradeDefaultTclTkTo85

Hi Francesco. :)

The default Tcl/Tk version in unstable (as set by tcltk-defaults)
is 8.4, whereas the version in experimental is 8.5.  Before updating
the version in unstable, it would be nice to see what fallout that
would have, by rebuilding all relevant packages against the version in
experimental.

Since experimental buildds use packages from sid by default, this
requires sourceful uploads to change build-deps to explicitly request
the version from experimental, as discussed on debian-release[1]:

  Build-Depends: tcl-dev (>= 8.5), tk-dev (>= 8.5)

I tried building against tcl/tk 8.5 locally and it seemed to work
well and correctly dependended on the tcl8.5 and tk8.5 packages.
I looked at http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/HowToTestGrass6 for
tests to run: drawing a profile and so on (did not get too far
before I got bored, though).  My /usr/bin/wish points to wish8.6,
so it looks like this can handle such version mismatches okay.

So I suspect an upload to experimental with that change would be safe.

This patch also contains an unrelated change: dropping the c/r/p:
grass-doc from grass-doc (as noticed by lintian).  Please let me
know if you would like me to file a separate bug and reroll the
patch.

Thoughts?
Jonathan
