Debian Patches
Status for ncompress/5.0-3
| 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. =================================================================== |
Kenneth J. Pronovici <pronovic@debian.org> | no | |||
| 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. =================================================================== |
Kenneth J. Pronovici <pronovic@debian.org> | no | |||
| 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. =================================================================== |
Kenneth J. Pronovici <pronovic@debian.org> | no | debian | ||
| manpage-cleanup.patch | Fix mandoc warnings and apply minor editoral changes. Fixes warnings from 'mandoc -T lint compress.1'. Assumes that the uncompress-real.patch has been applied first. =================================================================== |
Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@simnet.is> | no | debian | ||
| gcc-15.patch | Address compiler errors from gcc-15. GCC 15 now defaults to the C23/C++23 standards, which exposed an FTBFS due to the definition of abort_compress(). To fix it, I've added the sig argument, which is ignored. =================================================================== |
Kenneth J. Pronovici <pronovic@debian.org> | no | debian | ||
| old-style-functions.patch | Fix compiler warnings about old-style function definitions. This code was written in K&R style, and the latest Debian build process complains about that due to -Wold-style-definition. Since the fix is easy, I've decided to patch the code to remove the warnings. =================================================================== |
