Adapting FancyLibs & MinGW-Pkg from Debian 9 Stretch to 10 Buster, Mingw-7 to Mingw-8
Introduction
About every 2 years Debian introduces a new release.
At the time I'm writing this Debian Buster is on it's way from Full Freeze to GA.
The following notes shall provide the order in which FancyLibs shall be adapted and released for a new Debian release or maybe an Ubuntu release.
Adapting FancyLibs to new Debian Release
The steps per sub project are the same as described for "HelloWorld projects* in Adapting PBA to new Debian Release, with -o unix (before MinGW adaption) or -o "arch|unix|7" after MinGW adaption.
FancyLibs subproject rebuild order phase 1
The recommended order for phase 1 (before MinGW adaptions) is:
| Project (subdir) | Archs (-o parameter) | Remarks general | Status & Remarks stretch/buster | Version with Buster |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| fancylog | arch|8 | OK. in pba-rpmrelease, call to rpmsign can be reduced to: rpmsign --addsign -v --key-id 9...7 -D "%__gpg /usr/bin/gpg" ../foobar-1.2.3-1.src.rpm | 1.0.3-5 | |
| cute-headers | arch|8 | Data only, could be done anytime | OK | 1.6.1-9 |
| fancylibs | arch | OK. libstdc++-8-dev | 3.7.3-1 | |
| fancydb | - | Unix only | OK | 0.6.5-7 |
| fancydrawing | arch | OK | 0.6.2-3 | |
| fancygpsdclient | unix | OK | 0.4.3-5 | |
| fancyhttpd | arch | OK | 0.8.0-2 | |
| fancylogd | unix | OK | 0.1.0-3 | |
| fancylogview | . | Debian unix & amd64 only | Half OK: Does not build for armhf, maybe never did, libqt4-dev seems incomplete for arm | 0.3.0.5 |
| fancypkcs11 | unix | Debian unix & amd64 only | Half OK: Does not build for armhf, maybe never did | 0.4.1-1 |
| fancypcsc | unix | Debian unix & amd64 only | Half OK: Does not build for armhf, maybe never did | 0.2.5-2 |
| fancymodbus | unix | OK Required minor adaption, with libmodbus-dev going from 3.0.6 to 3.1.4 | 0.2.4-3 | |
| fancysax | arch | OK | 0.6.1-7 | |
| fancyqt4 | arch | OK | 0.9.3-3 | |
| fancyqt4widgets | arch | OK | 0.5.2-2 | |
| fancysane | unix | OK, but libsane-dbg not available for buster. Reduced that to suggestion | 0.3.2-5 | |
| fancyqmi | unix | Debian unix & amd64 only | Half OK: Does not build for armhf, maybe never did | 0.2.1-5 |
| fancyssl-tools | unix | OK? | 0.4.0-5 |
Tests with released Buster on 2019-08-02 showed that all unix builds work for amd64, most work for armhf.
MinGW-Pkg rebuilds
Stretch came with Mingw 7, Buster comes with Mingw 8, so we should rebuild that carefully, pulling up versions of libraries.
Order based on mingw 6 rebuild order
