Collection of scripts to modify and compile upstream packages at the CMXSL

8 v2 correct xsane et al snprintf under artistic xsane, sane-frontends, sane-backends, and sane-backends-extras all use slightly different local snprintf s drawn from an old release of LPRng which are under the Artistic License. The autoconf setup isn't good enough to detect and use the system snprintf. The problem was also reported to Fedora and as per spotrh's comment in User Issue 10713 they solved the problem by refactoring the more recent and acceptably licensed snprintf.c from current LPRng. Which they have sent to Sane. The xsane patch spotrh provided was used to reconstruct this and rather than manage four patches these four essentially identical helper commits copy this over the existing file and update debian/copyright with a shim. The shim is kept in DATA/blah with the new file for clarity of licensing of the code. See merge request !12 |

This set of scripts are helpers that modify and compile those packages coming from the Ubuntu upstream which need it. It might be because they contain non-free stuff, references to Ubuntu that need to be changed, or because we want the package to work our way. This helpers are similar to some of those in the gNewSense builder[1], we took some ideas and even some lines from them. If you plan to build an Ubuntu derivative of your own, we suggest you to use Builder instead of this helpers. 1: http://www.gnewsense.org/Builder/HowToCreateourOwnGNULinuxDistribution All packages in this list are in the appropriate blacklist in the repository updater, so they never enter into the repo from upstream and need to be compiled with this helpers and pushed into reprepro. This helpers also need to be run by hand -and the results tested- any time the repo watchdog warns about pending updates from upstream. To add a package to the list, just copy one -make-apache2 is a good template- and rename it to make-sourcePackageName. To send the file back to us, or to include any modification into the current scripts, use "bzr diff" and send the output as an attachment to trisquel-devel@listas.trisquel.info. You need to join the mailing list to send messages to it. Some recommendations: - Take care to use the right sourcePackageName, many source packages produce several binary packages. "apt-cache showsrc binary-package" can help you. - If possible, use sed to replace chains in the upstream source without the need of external files or patches. If you really need to include a file, place it at the DATA/sourcePackageName directory - Do not replace *all* references to Ubuntu in the package, just those that would actually be shown to the user. Avoid replacing copyright statements! - Try to write your replacements in a way they might work in future versions of the upstream package. Well written regexps and sed will help with that. - Some of this packages require the lsb to match Trisquel values. Edit the /etc/lsb_release accordingly, or run the helpers in a Trisquel box. - You can -and maybe should- run this scripts inside a chroot. Netinstall: Included are the set of scipts used to generate the network installer images found in Trisquel GNU/Linux LTS (version 2.0, 4.0, 6.0... and up). The scripts may not be available for all versions. To generate the images, we run the following scripts: make-apt-setup make-base-installer make-choose-mirror make-main-menu make-netcfg make-net-retriever make-pkgsel Then we push the results into the Trisquel repository and run the script make-debian-installer to build the final images.
