No x86_64 package available

[Psychcf]

Binary package hint: gnu-smalltalk

There's no x86_64 package of this for the latest version of Ubuntu. There's an i386 version, but no x86_64.

It looks like it builds just fine on my natty sbuild, so can we have the build retried?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted gnu-smalltalk into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Will copy maverick-proposed to natty once it built.

[Roland Plüss (rpluess)]

What is the status on this one here? I see fix committed (whatever this means) but it does not look like the amd64 version is available. Using https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed as proposed on a mailing list does also not contain a amd64 testing version.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Right, it failed to build on a test case failure, see http://launchpadlibrarian.net/65036993/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-amd64.gnu-smalltalk_3.2-1build1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

[Roland Plüss (rpluess)]

That's very strange. This test did before not fail on this one. Somebody added a broken patch? It builds all fine on GenToo so it has to be a patch of some sort. (version 3.2.3 there)

[Psychcf (psychcf)]

Ok, so any news on this, or was this bug forgotten about?

[Roland Plüss (rpluess)]

Most probably forgotten. There is still no x86_64 package and I really don't get why a package should keep on failing on Ubuntu 64bit if I'm running it here since ages on my GenToo 64bit machine. This just doesn't go into my brain. What please can be different on Ubuntu than GenToo? And how can it be "only" the 64bit version is affected?

[Roland Plüss (rpluess)]

Upgraded to natty today and gnu-smalltalk is STILL not in there. Didn't you claim it worked on natty? Why the hell is it STILL not working? Come on... it can't be so difficult. Other distros have it working like since 2 years and Ubuntu still fails at it? What's going on? Just that the GenToo ebuild and go from there if you can't do it on your own U_U

I just tested building locally with sbuild and in a PPA (https://launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/+archive/fixes/+packages) and it builds fine there.

I uploaded it to natty-proposed. If it fails again on buildd's, I'll investigate further what the failing test does.

[Roland Plüss (rpluess)]

Build it here on my natty too. There is a little problem with libtool as it fails building on libc.la located in the gnu-smalltalk source directory. Removing this file and running make again works. Seems to be libtool messing things up for some reason. Without that little problem though it builds fine, checks run fine and it runs fine here.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

FYI a new version (and hopefully, an amd64 package being built) is blocked in oneiric on libsigsegv syncing from debian unstable, which I assume will happen as soon as auto-syncing w/ debian unstable is enabled.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Please also fix this in oneiric, so that this can progress to -updates.

Accepted gnu-smalltalk into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

A new version is in Oneiric, I believe its been waiting for a dependency to sync... once it does we can mark thsi Fix Released.

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Seems like the test suite is a little flaky. I just noticed it failed here the first time:

116: GDBM FAILED (testsuite.at:154)

But on retry, all tests passed (for 3.2-1build2 in maverick-proposed). So please give it a shot -proposed testers. :)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Oneiric package built fine: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnu-smalltalk/3.2.4-1/+buildjob/2509641

[Roland Plüss (rpluess)]

I don't want to nag but what the hell is goin on? Still no GST 64bit on natty? It can't be that difficult! Multiple people build it from sources fine... U_U

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Anyone who can test the maverick-proposed update?

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

obody tested the proposed package, but now it won't be released; therefore removing release nominations
