I have just sent an e-mail to the maintainer of bash4 (you did as well a few months ago). I'll give it a week and then I'll take over.

I still have to get a clear picture of the whole debian-maemo-upload process. I can compile and install, but have no real experience with debian packaging. Maemo garage and autobuilder are still a mistery to me (what they do, how, and why we need them).

But I think I'll manage...

I got the OK from Kaj-Michael Lang (THANKS!), so I've requested to be maintainer of bash4.

I'm trying to understand the whole debian-maemo packaging conspiracy so to simplify a bit I'm testing uploading another program to extras-devel. It's called sysrpl and you should *NOT* touch it (it's a forth-like programming language copy-catting the SysRPL language found in good calculators).

I hope I don't break the autobuilder (I've read about it happening from time to time).

Will keep you posted.

OK so the autobuilder didn't work (or rather, it did but the build failed) and I didn't get any e-mail. Using google I found the autobuilder log (https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fre...log.FAILED.txt), which tells me that I need curses.h, so I guess I need to make it depend on libcurses5-dev. Will try again one of these days.

E-mails haven't come through for a while.

Well, emails from garage "should" arrive and also the mail server seems to be of the same opinion. If it doesn't happen again please ping techstaff in the usual ways.

I've been getting builder emails all the time. Two yesterday. Not reinob's though. Selective mail server? Incorrectly set up reinob's account?

(FYI, builder sends emails to everybody, not just the person who started the build. I found it a bit odd at first but got used to it in the end.)

No e-mails here. (Since very long time. That long I do not remember if I received those overall build mails. For sure I did receive for my own.)

I guess it was a misunderstanding. I understood that the one uploading the package gets an e-mail. This is not the case.

I have now subscribed to the cauldron-whatever list and now I get an e-mail whenever the autobuilder compiles anything (it's OK, it's not so much .

So curses is OK. Now I need libgmp which I happen to have locally compiled. So now I have to upload libgmp to extras-devel and, recurse as necessary, and then continue.

And this is just for my really-simple program. Did I say I don't like the autobuilder stuff?

EDIT: libgmp3-dev was there already, so I added it as build dependency, and the autobuilder worked!

Yep. misunderstanding .
That is what I had done before. And some day (un)intentionally must have unsubscribed (the reason for no e-mails forgot that).
Soory for noise.

Has anyone ever seen this list?
I guess yes , but not me (after 5 years!)
