FFe: Please merge zsh 4.3.17-1 from Debian

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: zsh

While running into bug #762238 I've been told that it is fixed in 4.3.11-4, which I have verified.

Given that 4.3.11-4 is a bugfix release, Frank Terbeck ("ft" on #zsh) has recommended to get it into Ubuntu.

I am attaching a debdiff against the current version in Ubuntu, and a debdiff for sponsorship, hoping that this will be enough to get it into Natty still.

Subscribing ubuntu-sponsors and -release to hopefully get this into Natty still.

I have uploaded it to my PPA for test-building and verification; it should show up at https://launchpad.net/~blueyed/+archive/ppa soonish.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Most of it is bug fixing indeed, but there are also some nontrivial build system changes. It built fine, but how much testing did you give this?

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I have done moderate testing, just been using it.

I understand if you think that only the bugfix patch(es) should get used/picked, but I could not provide these (for Natty) - I'll be away for the week.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Also migrated to testing in Debian. Approved.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I uploaded this now based on the changelog and the comment from pitti.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Reopening, WONTFIX for natty. The new version introduces new build dependencies from universe:

 o icmake: icmake icmake-doc
   [Reverse-Depends: Rescued from icmake]
   [Reverse-Build-Depends: yodl]

 o yodl: yodl yodl-doc
   [Reverse-Depends: Rescued from yodl]
   [Reverse-Build-Depends: zsh]

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Updated merge to zsh 4.3.15.

I have opened a MIR for yodl and icmake: bug #920436

[Jonathan Davies (jpds)]

This merge will also fix wishlist bug #924830.

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

The MIR hasn't been approved so we have to use the upstream tarball with pre-generated docs.

I have uploaded the package to:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~debfx/zsh_4.3.17-1ubuntu1.dsc

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

zsh 4.3.11 -> 4.3.17 are mostly bufixes but there seem to be some new features and the diff is quite large so I'm requesting a FFe.

I have been using zsh 4.3.15 and 4.3.17 for some time on two different machines without problems.

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Attached is the Debian changelog.

Build log is available from:
https://launchpad.net/~debfx/+archive/ppa/+build/3269891/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-amd64.zsh_4.3.17-1ubuntu1%7Eppa1_BUILDING.txt.gz

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Seems fine to me. Please double-check with "check-mir" that it's buildable in main. Thanks!

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Yes, I have checked that no MIRs are required.

However the build log I linked above is wrong as the package in the PPA still uses yodl. I'm attaching a correct one.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Thanks for your work on this. Closing bug manually.
