Binary package hint: fdclock

Log: http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~lucas/ubuntu-nbs/32/fdclock_0.1.0+git.20060122-0ubuntu1_lubuntu32.buildlog

I believe that was binutils-gold problem, from log we can gained information that this package missing X11 and Xrender library

Hello Mahyuddin

Just for curiosity, is fdclock still used and in active development? As far as I can see from their commit logs

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/fdclock/

The last commit was some 3 years back

Can you please contact the upstream authors on the status of this package/project?

I'm going to process this once the above question is answered

regards

I agree with Bhavani, if upstream is dead, removal is probably a good idea.

If not, your changelog entry needs work: "Fix FTBFS binutils-gold with ld --no-add-needed"

How about: "Explicitly link to necessary libraries, fixes FTBFS with ld --no-add-needed".

You should also build-depend on libraries that you are linking to.

Thanks Stefano for your comment

then my feeling is to wait for a couple of days incase of a reply and then think of the further process

Stefano: your comments please

Hello Mahyuddin

Did you get any news from upstream?

Kind regards

[Mahyuddin Susanto (udienz)]

Hello, i still got no reply. i will waiting and retry to sending email to upstream

[Bhavani Shankar (bhavi)]

Hmm if there is no news of upstream then its better to remove the package I guess

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Sounds OK to me, but I'd wait a week or two. Maybe prod #freedesktop?
