Debian Patches

Status for ncompress/4.2.4.6-6

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
remove-zcat.patch Remove references to zcat in the manpage. We don't install a zcat tool, so it doesn't make sense to reference it.

uncompress-real.patch Use uncompress.real instead of uncompress. The gzip package already has a program called uncompress. For historical
purposes, the solution to this is to have ncompress install its program as
uncompress.real rather than uncompress. See README.Debian for more
information.

fix-softlinks.patch Support uncompressing and compressing soft links. Historically, ncompress for Debian has been built using a command line
directly in debian/rules. For 4.2.4.5-1, I simplified by swtching to the
upstream Makefile. However, that caused a regression - the Debian version of
ncompress has always successfully handled soft links, but this stopped
working. To revert to the original behavior, I need to remove -DLSTAT from
the build options, to be consistent with how the code was previously built.
