Just had some time in the last two days, and here's the list of uploaded NMUs. So far, I had only one maintainer complaining (again, sorry!), but I must admit that on Sunday I just didn't follow the correct NMU procedure

Anyhow, here's what I have:

1. #504824 [libnids] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: #elif used instead of #else
2. #504864 [omnievents] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
3. #504871 [bookmarkbridge] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
4. #504902 [libofa] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
5. #504943 [libassa] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
6. #504963 [libfcgi] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
7. #504970 [italc] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
8. #504973 [libspiff] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
9. #505021 [passepartout] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
10. #505078 [codeine] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
11. #505333 [gloox] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
12. #505372 [bobot++] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
13. #505420 [esteidutil] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
14. #510759 [log4cxx] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
15. #526151 [openmovieeditor] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
16. #551107 [fusecompress] FTBFS with GCC 4.4: missing #include
17. #551718 [eboard] eboard: FTBFS with latest eglibc and gcc 4.4

Some highlights

Most of these bugs, if not all, already had a patch attached. Thanks to Martin Michlmayr for his work on this!

Regarding fusecompress, after my upload to DELAYED/2, the maintainer promptly replied asking for sponsorship of a package he already had. So this does not really count

If you want to participate in this great game too, and improve our loved distribution, you can have a look at this list of possibly easy bugs to fix.

Have fun!

Time has come for me to do something serious for Debian

 

I must say I'm not a C programmer -- everything I did comes from general knowledge of C, trial-and-error, some general concepts I have. Thus, the code I'm attaching here is likely to be buggy.

I'd like that, who feels a bit adventurous, applies the patch to acpi-0.09 (the current Debian version), to see if it works for him. As already happened, for someone it did not work, so I fixed it a bit.

I hope you know how to patch sources... don't you?

 

Please report any failure/missing information to Debian Bug #462305, by sending a mail to 462305@bugs.debian.org (or, well, comment this post...). Thanks!
