Bug#935267: New upstream version 2.7 available

[Sebastien Bacher]

Package: iio-sensor-proxy
Version: 2.4-2

There is a new version available, would be nice to have it uploaded to
Debian
https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/releases/tag/2.7

Thx

Hi,

I have just NMU'ed (with delay of 15 days) iio-sensor-proxy 2.8-0.1
to Debian unstable to upgrade from the really old 2.4-2. I have been
playing with GNOME on table the last couple of days and found the old
version of iio-sensor-proxy being the cause for non-100%-working gyro
support in Dell Venue 8 Pro tables.

Welcome aboard to trying a Free Setup on a tablet or 2-in-1
convertible. I would be interested to know of your impressions of this
use case.

Eventually, you'll also seek for onboard as a soft keyboard, instead of
the default caribous in GNOME.

At the end, I'd be very interested to know how do deal with using this
as a daily driver and what applications you choose to use.

Furthermore, I have migrated the packaging Git of iio-sensor-proxy to
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/iio-sensor-proxy/

Thanks for doing that. But can you please push the tags there ?

... and update Vcs-* fields in d/control accordingly.
Please let me know, if I should cancel the delayed upload. I'll be
happy to do so.

I put a comment on one of the commits you made, where in you dropped
the dependency on package systemd. Lets see how the Gitlab Salsa
communication workflow is like :-)

But allow me to repeat the same question here:
Have you tested the setup without systemd ?

I will respond to this in a PM.

Yes, I can. Sorry, I had forgotten that. I have pushed all previous
tags, but not the tag / commit for the current upload waiting in
DELAYED/15.

Are you ok with the NMU? Or will you prepare an official upload with a
latest upstream release?

Ok, I'll reply there.

No, I have not. Still hard-depending on systemd is not a good
practice. Because it unnecessarily complexifies the dependency tree in
Debian. I moved systemd to Suggests: instead to signal that it would
be good having iio-sensor-proxy running on systemd.

Suppose, someone wants to test the iio-sensor-proxy without systemd,
then the dev can directly install the package and test. I in fact hope
for a time when Debian will be usable again with other init systems
(see the currently being prepared GR).

So, I agree with Laurent Bigonville, that systemd should be removed
from Depends: more for a package dependency tree reason rather then
technical reasons.

light+love,
Mike

Can you re-do the upload? I need to provide a buster-backport of your
package upload to people here around me.

Thanks+Greets,
Mike

It should be there already. I did the upload a couple of hours ago and they
were accepted by the ftp masters
