Reminder about patches carried in Debian

Hi,

it’s apparently armhf fixing weekend for me (first klibc, then
dietlibc, and funnily, both have bugs in setjmp), so I’d like
to ask, with my Debian Developer hat on of the many I wear,
that you look at the patches we carry in Debian again:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/dietlibc.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;h=47f36734c30bc03c01f9f95ee50c884fb6468b08;hb=HEAD

These (in the order found in the “series” file) make a patch
queue against CVS HEAD from 2012-03-25 (in the current tree),
but I think they should mostly apply against HEAD, looking at
https://code.launchpad.net/~mirabilos/dietlibc/MAIN (which I
set up as publicly accessible mirror so we have some sort of
overview on what was committed when considering GMane doesn’t
carry a gmane.linux.lib.dietlibc.cvs list with commitmails).

In addition to those patches, the current Debian build script
still deletes parisc/strstr.S as it’s buggy/broken. (That was
not doable using a diff.) Of course, fixing is preferable, but
I’d rather use the MI version than a broken but optimised MD
version.

This has been tested on most all Debian architectures, but only
statically linked, dynamic linking has been broken for a while
and not available everywhere, so we don’t offer it at the moment.

Most of the _new_ patches should have somewhat proper documentation
in the patch header (and possibly, the git commit adding it), and
IIRC some time ago I wrote what I could about the older patches
that we already carried back then. (Note recent changes, e.g. to
the ARMv7 support to unbreak ARMv6, as used on the Raspberry Pi.)

Thanks in advance,
