[Bug 260406] Re: Sync gnuradio 3.2.2.dfsg-1 (multiverse) from Debian unstable (main)

 

Steve Langasek - Thanks for re-reviewing this and for the FFe.  I will
add the missing dependency on 'adduser' to the two packages that need
it.

But regarding how adduser got onto my "mostly-clean" Lucid system in the
first place...  After you pointed this out, I tried removing adduser,
trying to identify which package had brought it in -- isn't this saying
that adduser is being brought in by essential packages?

$ sudo apt-get remove adduser
   [...]
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
  e2fsprogs util-linux (due to e2fsprogs) hostname upstart (due to hostname)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 500 to remove and 9 not upgraded.

No harm in explicitly adding the dependency to our two packages here
anyway, but I'm not sure if its actually possible to reproduce the
missing dependency problem on Lucid, given that situation.

Status in “gnuradio” package in Ubuntu: In Progress

Bug description:
Please sync gnuradio 3.2.2.dfsg-1 (multiverse) from Debian unstable (main)

*** Note: a small patch (comment #6) is required to build 3.2.2.dfsg-1 on Lucid.  It adds a couple missing build deps and removes stale prebuilt Qt .moc files which get regenerated during the build.   Please apply it after sync (or I will apply it in bzr; I'm not sure of the procedure here).

FeatureFreeze exception justification:

*** Ubuntu's version of gnuradio is over two years old.  The Ubuntu ham community would like to be able to enjoy the improved stability and features that have been introduced to gnuradio over that interval.  I have examined the pending Debian bugs against this version of gnuradio and I find none of them to be show-stoppers, however the package seems to be stalled from entering Debian testing because of them.  I will be following up on that situation with Debian, but I don't think we need to further delay integration of gnuradio into Lucid in the meantime.

*** Attached find build and install logs and screenshot:
 - pbuilder-gnuradio_3.2.2.dfsg-1ubuntu1.log

*** Source does not provide NEWS, CHANGES, or Changlog, but refers instead to the repository at http://gnuradio.org/ 

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

*** All ubuntu delta changes have been merged upstream or obsoleted by upstream changes.
