[upgrade] sdlmame new upstream 0.128

Cesare,

Can you attach a real diff.gz (which contains the debian/ packaging and not a diff of the upstream tarballs as your diff.gz does)

This is the .diff.gz obtained with debuild -S.

Is that what you meant?

Can you give a short instruction on how I'm supposed to sponsor this? Getting the current source package, patching the package, using get-orig-source didn't work for me.

I'm sorry, I'm still confused a bit about fix committing process. :(

You should be able to apply the first .diff.gz file commited (the >4mb one) to the 0.123 source with the same procedure used upgrading 0.122 to 0.123 in hardy:

apt-get source sdlmame
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14565553/sdlmame_0.125.diff.gz
cd sdlmame-0.123/
zcat ../sdlmame_0.125.diff.gz | patch -p1
debian/rules get-orig-source

(see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sdlmame/+bug/190041)

If get-orig-source doesn't retrieve sdlmame0125.zip, please try
uscan --user-agent ubuntu
and then run get-orig-source again (it should check .zip presence before trying to download it).

Also, please... is there some recommended procedure for committing fixes and upgrades?
Thanks!

Ooops!

You can't run uscan or it will download latest unstable release!
However, get-orig-source works for me. Could you post a log, please?
Thanks!

From a workflow perspective, I wonder:
 - What is the 4MB diff for?
 - To me it seems like the only benefit right now is the md5sum check which complicates things.

Running the commands you mentioned the orig.tar.gz tarball is in sdlmame-0.123

Ok, forget about the .diff files posted, I've missed this:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2008-January/024913.html

Here's the .diff.gz I've just used to build sdlmame 0.125 source package with following commands:
zcat sdlmame_0.125-0ubuntu1.diff.gz | patch -p0
cd sdlmame-0.125
chmod +x debian/rules
debian/rules get-orig-source
mv sdlmame_0.125.orig.tar.gz ../
cd ..
tar xvfz sdlmame_0.125.orig.tar.gz

now you should have the correct source tree in
sdlmame-0.125

The attached diff.gz:
- upgrades sdlmame to latest stable release 0.126
- fixes conflicting dep with xmame-tools (I can't fix xmame-tools too as I'm not the maintainer):
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sdlmame/+bug/245318

To build the source package use

zcat sdlmame_0.126-0ubuntu1.diff.gz | patch -p0
cd sdlmame-0.126
chmod +x debian/rules
debian/rules get-orig-source
mv sdlmame_0.126.orig.tar.gz ../
cd ..
tar xvfz sdlmame_0.126.orig.tar.gz

and the source tree should be in
sdlmame-0.126

A new upstream release -0.127- has been released, this is the .diff.gz for upgrading.

Compiled binaries are available on my PPA as well:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive

To build the source package use

zcat sdlmame_0.127-0ubuntu1.diff.gz | patch -p0
cd sdlmame-0.127
chmod +x debian/rules
debian/rules get-orig-source
mv sdlmame_0.127.orig.tar.gz ../
cd ..
tar xvfz sdlmame_0.127.orig.tar.gz

and the source tree should be in
sdlmame-0.127

I hope this will fit FF...
Cesare.

Hi Cesare,

Apologies that your request has been waiting so long, but now that we
are frozen this will need a freeze exception.

Please see

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

for details on how to go about this.

Thanks,

James

A new upstream release (0.128) is expected next week so I'll upload a diff for it as soon as it's released.
In the meantime, I'll have a look at the Freeze Exception Process.

Thanks!
Cesare.

This is the .diff file for the new upstream release - sdlmame 0.128.

To build the source package use

zcat sdlmame_0.128-0ubuntu1.diff.gz | patch -p0
cd sdlmame-0.128
chmod +x debian/rules
debian/rules get-orig-source
mv sdlmame_0.128.orig.tar.gz ../
cd ..
tar xvfz sdlmame_0.128.orig.tar.gz

and the source tree should be in
sdlmame-0.128

Compiled binaries are available on my PPA as well:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive

I also requested a FeatureFreeze exception as suggested:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sdlmame/+bug/285204

Please... *do* upload it! :-)

I see jaunty has already been branched.

Could please someone upload the updated package?

Thanks,
Cesare.

Sponsored. Thanks for the patience, my "neighbour" ;)

This bug was fixed in the package sdlmame - 0.128-0ubuntu1
