Description V.Ralf Hagen (dingo) 2016-08-25 12:10:03 UTC

I can (try to) take over the Regina-REXX package as an INTERIM maintainer (firstly). I will try to make contact with the REXX-Language Assoc. and the original author of Regina.

Right now Regina seems to be somewhat stable, with only some Metadata fixes to be made. That should be possible for me.

Thanks Ralf.

I would really appreciate your effort.

If you need any support I may be able to give, please contact me.

I'm in the CC list of this thread.

Ok, looks like the newest version needs less fixing than expected. Nevertheless, I see straight away:

 * QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it
 *            may exhibit random runtime failures.
 * ./regutil/regini.c:547:58: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘clock’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

 * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA
 * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software.
 * Homepage: http://regina-rexx.sourceforge.net


 * QA Notice: Pre-stripped files found:
 * /usr/share/Regina-REXX/addons/librxtest2.so
 * /usr/share/Regina-REXX/addons/librxtest1.so
 * /usr/share/Regina-REXX/addons/libregutil.so
 * /usr/lib64/libregina.so.3.9
 * /usr/bin/regina
 * /usr/bin/rxstack
 * /usr/bin/rxqueue
 * /usr/bin/rexx

So, a) missing #include, b) you need to disable stripping in the package build system.

Looking at the ebuild, a few suggestions:

1) update to EAPI=6,

2) use MY_P to commonize SRC_URI and S,

3) probably look into moving 'tc-export CC' into src_compile() ;-).

We no longer use these bugs. See:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/User_Guide#Taking_over_an_existing_package

Long story short:

1. If your request has been fulfilled already and you're the maintainer, ignore this.

2. If you have submitted the ebuilds separately, we'll handle it there. If that's via a bug, please make sure that proxy-maint@ is in CC. Feel free to ping us if things aren't moving forward for a long time.

3. If you haven't submitted anything yet, please submit a meaningful change to the package (bugfix, version bump, ebuild update...) along with the maintainer update and you'll become the maintainer when we merge it.

Sorry for the trouble.
