Please sync flashrom 0.0+r3073-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

Changelog since current hardy version 0.0+r2769-1:

flashrom (0.0+r3073-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (Closes: #462248).
    + Flashrom is now installed in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/bin.
    + The manpage is now in section 8 (not 1).
    + Fix broken references to old bug tracker URL (Closes: #460554).
  * Restrict list of architectures to the known-working ones for now.
    More architectures will gradually be re-added if we're sure they work.
    + These are known to work: amd64, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386
    + These should work (untested, though): alpha, hurd-i386, ia64,
      netbsd-alpha, netbsd-i386
    + These are disabled for now, as flashrom will very likely not work: arm,
      armel, armeb, hppa, m32r, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, sh, sparc, s390
  * Standards-Version: 3.7.3 (no changes required).
  * debian/control:
     + Add Homepage field.
     + Update package description.
  * debian/copyright: Update URLs and list of authors.
  * Simplified packaging a bit.

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

As this is a new upstream release, it will require a freeze exception. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess .

Unsubscribing u-u-s until an exception is granted.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

diffstat attached.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

This new upstream is necessary because it includes support a number of new boards, including for the chipset used in the OLPC and in many thin clients supported by LTSP. The goal here is to enable servicing that hardware during the whole long-term Hardy cycle.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

Successfully built in my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~q-funk/+archive

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

Odd. This builds fine in a pbuilder and it also built fine on Debian. Investigating.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

is there an upstream changelog as well? If so, please attach a diff of it.

Regarding your last comment: does it fail to build somewhere?

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

It seems that the builder used in the PPA is pickier on the order used for rules in debian/rules that pbuilder or Debian's builder is. It builds fine now. Patch submitted to Debian.

[Martin-Éric Racine (q-funk)]

Here's a copy of the revised debian/rule.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

If it needs a change in the package, it's a merge, not a sync. Please attach all the bits asked for in the freeze exception process for Universe.

 .
  * Fix debian/rules to make it work on Ubuntu, too (Closes: #466994).

Stefan: there is NO upstream changelog.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Looking at the Debian BTS, it seems to be a sync now (please check and update accordingly).

Supporting the OLPC seems like a worthwhile feature to me. ACK #1.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Ack 2. Please set to confirmed and go ahead.

[Luke Yelavich (themuso)]

ACKed.
