  1. Please don't upload this in its current form: I am happy with the substance but I have cosmetic tweaks pending to include and as I am proposing this as a 'team upload' I would like to get it into VCS before it is uploaded along with the preceding NMUs that I also have waiting in git to merge.

  2. Hi Andrew,

Not a review, just a run through of my normal tests.

You will be aware of the internal test failures, so not going to detail them here.

Lintian:

W: getdns-utils: no-manual-page [usr/bin/getdns_query]
N: 
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N:   a manual page
N:   
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:   program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N:   own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:   sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N:   support this.
N:   
N:   If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:   able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N:   exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:   
N:   If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N:   pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N:   Lintian override.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.

I: stubby: conflicts-with-version runit (<< 2.1.2-51~)
N: 
N:   An earlier-than version clause is normally an indication that Breaks
N:   should be used instead of Conflicts. Breaks is a weaker requirement that
N:   provides the package manager more leeway to find a valid upgrade path.
N:   Conflicts should only be used if two packages can never be unpacked at the
N:   same time, or for some situations involving virtual packages (where a
N:   version clause is not appropriate). In particular, when moving files
N:   between packages, use Breaks plus Replaces, not Conflicts plus Replaces.

N:   .buildinfo file.
N:

N:   Please note that this tag will not appear unless the .buildinfo file
N:   contains a Build-Path field. That field is optional. You may have to set

N:   building.

  3. Hi Phil,

Many thanks for running your tests on my mentors package - nice to get some early feedback!

I didn't realise the reproducible builds regression had occurred with the new upstream. I've now patched out the inclusion of build flags in the binary which I don't think has value when you can obtain the build pedigree independently within Debian.

I am adding a new version of the package now. I have hopefully by now squelched a huge number of issues in total that came up when you reviewed my earlier RC NMU for this package! The expected failure of the internal tests is I suspect a significant amount of work for someone to rectify, probably with an autopkgtest that emulates 'the world'.

Yours,

Andrew
