playing to update package (failed)


I thought to build gnome-todo package 3.19 branch.

Once tried to do that, it seems to need gtk+3.0 (>= 3.19.5), however Debian doesn't have it yet (of course, it's development branch). Then tried to build gtk+3, it needs wayland 1.90 1.9.90 that has not been in Debian yet, too. So, update local package to wayland 1.9.91, found tiny bug and sent patch, and build it (package diff was sent to maintainer - and merged), easy task.

Build again, gtk+3.0 needs "wayland-protocols" that has not been packaged in Debian, yet. Okay... (20 min work...) done! Make wayland-protocols package (not ITPed yet since who should be maintainer, under same umbrella as wayland?), not difficult.

Build newest gtk+3.0 source as 3.19.8 with cowbuilder chroot with those package (cowbuilder --login --save-after-exec --inputfile foo.deb --inputfile bar.deb), ...and failed with testsuite ;) I don't have enough knowledge to investigate it.

Back to older gtk+3.0 source, build 3.19.1 is fine (diff), but 3.19.2 was failed to build, 3.19.3 to 3.19.8 were failed with testsuite.


Time is up, "You lose!"... that's one of typical days.
