I've updated the debian package for libzeep. There's a change in the SONAME
so it has to go through new.
Thanks a lot for updating libzeep.
The package contains the new code for libzeep 6 as well as new
documentation. I used to use the boost docbook tools but those cause a few
problems and besides, every kid on the block is moving towards Sphinx and
ReadTheDocs these days. As an old man I like to pretend I'm hip as well.
Anyway, using sphinx introduces a lot of lintian warnings. Mostly related to
the fact that sphinx documentation installs its own copy of jquery and a
couple of fonts. My guess is that more packages in debian use sphinx so
before I start to work around this I'd like to know if others have solved
this 'problem' already. Or should I simply ignore the warnings?
IMHO these warnings ca be ignored. On the other hand I'd recommend
fixing these:
I: libzeep source: out-of-date-standards-version 4.5.0 (released 2020-01-20) (current is 4.6.2)
-> I'd recommend to run `routine-update -f` in your git clone
I: libzeep source: quilt-patch-missing-description [debian/patches/boost.patch]
-> It would be great to have documented patches
Another problem with my package is that the reprotest fails on salsa. The
actual error it stumbles upon has to do with locales. It seems that
something is fishy with the installation of locales on the machine where the
tests run. The test code tries to create a locale namen nl_NL.UTF-8 and then
checks if the name of the result is the same as the name requested to be
sure it really got the correct locale. That check should not be required
since if that locale is not installed, the C++ standard says an exception
should be thrown but that doesn't happen, sometimes, recently, on Debian. I
can skip those tests, but I'd like to know why they are failing. Not sure
who to contact for this.
I need to admit I do not pay too much attention to reprotest tests on
Salsa. While I perfectly agree that reproducibility is important I have
problems to
a) read the log and draw sensible conclusions
b) find out how to fix those issues
If nobody has a better idea I'd recommend to not make this a show
stopper and upload to new.
A review of the current package of libzeep at salsa would also be very much
appreciated.
You are welcome
Andreas.
