Revision as of 09:18, 12 September 2016

This page relates to the progress of an update that happened a long time ago. The information here is not current with regards to package/version availability or current packaging standards and best-practices.

Goals

Version update (preferably highest stable-branch version, okay if higher than that present in the target Gnome 2.x, or even if part of a higher Gnome 2.x)
Update deps according to pkg requirements (add versioning as required by each package, not based on what is currently in fink or what is present in the target Gnome 2.x)
Switch to gettext3
- Depends: gettext→libgettext3-shlibs
- BuildDepends: gettext-dev→libgettext3-dev
- Add gettext-bin and/or gettext-tools as needed.
- Add libiconv* deps as needed.
Put -ssl variants first in alternative dependencies (gnome-vfs2 and others). We have gnome-vfs2-unified as of 1:2.15.2-1 now, but not required to switch from the variants list (there are compatibility packages).
Make sure static libs are built
Add ConfigureParams: --disable-dependency-tracking
.info and .deb validation
Fix scrollkeeper usage (see fink info scrollkeeper)
Fix gconf usage (see fink info gconf2)
Check with --build-as-nobody
Check locale/ (gettext message catalog) usage:
- Place locale/ files in the package whose binaries use them (or in a package that is a dependent of that package)—remember Replaces field if moving them!
- Make sure the domain is orthogonal enough for Shlibs orthogonality
Deprecate %N if %N-dev and %N-shlibs contain everything
- Add Depends to %N to make sure other packages' Depends:%N still gets the same results
- Adjust dependencies on %N to point to %N-dev or %N-shlibs (with versioning as appropriate) depending on what %N used to contain and its former dependencies:
  - Switch glib2 dependency to glib2-shlibs (>= 2.12.0-1)
- Switch all glib2* dependencies to >= 2.12.0-1 in both 10.3 and 10.4 to avoid bogus >=2.6.6-1111 from 10.4 transition.
- Switch all orbit2* dependencies to >= 2.14.2-1, which may eliminate propagated popt dependencies.
- Switch all libbonobo2* dependencies to >= 2.16.0-1, which may eliminate propagated popt dependencies.
- NB: only do these when releasing new Version so that we don't force arbitrary rebuilding and "high" Revision in 10.3
  - Therefore, upgrade in dependency order starting at the bottom of the tree
Make sure GCC field presence/absence is correct
Verify whether 10.4 needs a "high" revision (+=1000 due to GCC:4.0 or dependencies on 10.4-specific high revisions of other packages).
Check for .pc files moved to share/ (requires adding Depends: pkgconfig (>= 0.20-1))

Packaging Status

Fink: Version in Fink unstable, 10.4 (powerpc). Star when checked and upgraded if necessary—please work in order up the dep tree!
2.x: Minimum version for Gnome 2.x.
Notes: what's waiting for what or whom
color-code: up-to-date needs updating or is broken unknown
