[Pkg-pascal-devel] FPC 3.2.0 upload to SID

[Graham Inggs]

Hi All

Most of the FTBFS have been resolved already. \o/

castle-game-engine      #968120   fixed in 6.4+dfsg1-5
view3dscene             #968127    fixed by castle-game engine
diffoscope              #968124    fixed in git
hedgewars               #968125    fixed in 1.0.0-10

Leaving only:

ddrescueview            #968121
mricron                 #968126

I've had a quick look at ddrescue [1], but I don't know how to fix
that.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've also looked at mricron [2][3], and changing '(**)' to '*)' in
both places fixes the compilation, but I have no idea what the '(**)'
means.  Can anyone tell me?

Abou, the upgrade of libqtpas to upstream 2.6+2.0.10+dfsg seems to be
an empty commit [4].
If this is the case, should we rather roll back to the previous
version and upload 2.6+2.0.8+dfsg-2, dropping the symbols file?
Either way, I think now is a good time to drop the build-dependency on
fp-units-rtl.  If I recall correctly, it was only added to avoid
maintaining the symbols for architectures where fpc did not exist.

Regards
Graham
