Subject: [bug#49014] [PATCH 0/2] Add tlf
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 00:12:23 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.2106132357190.2109@marsh.hcoop.net> (raw)
This series adds a package for Tlf, an amateur (ham) radio logging
program. Some things to note:
Tlf depends on hamlib, which has `Requires.private: libusb-1.0` in its
pkg-config file. Tlf fails to build if libusb is not present in its build
environment. I saw two options for resolving this: 1) add libusb as an
input for tlf or 2) propagate libusb from hamlib. I chose the latter, but
I'm not sure if that's the right choice as hamlib also provides binaries,
so folks might want to install it in their profiles in addition to using
it as a library.
The released version of Tlf doesn't work with our packaged version of
hamlib because hamlib made a breaking change in the name of one of their
macros. I added a patch from newer Tlf commits that works around this by
adding some indirection.
I tested that it builds reproducably on x86_64-linux, and that it builds
emulated aarch64-linux and armhf-linux. I was happy to see, especially on
armhf, that I didn't run into the problem that caused Debian to add a
patch:
