Subject: csh: FTBFS on powerpc: -Werror vs. unsigned char

Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2004 17:13:07 +0100

Package: csh
Version: 20020413-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build on current unstable on arm/powerpc/s390

On arm, powerpc, and s390, char is unsigned by default. csh's current
isvisible() macro causes the compiler to emit a warning by comparing an
unsigned char <= UCHAR_MAX.

Automatic build of csh_20020413-1 on cairhien by sbuild/powerpc 1.169
Build started at 20040827-1700

Description: 
 csh        - Shell with C-like syntax, standard login shell on BSD systems
Closes: 187629 258588 268438
Changes: 
 csh (20050313-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
   * Revert to a flat source tree, it does make things simpler.
   * exp.c (exp2): Rename to csh_exp2 to avoid conflict with gcc builtin
     (thanks to Andreas Jochens).  Closes: #258588.
   * glob.c (libglob): GLOB_NOMAGIC has been fixed in glibc 2.3 (#106097).
   * proc.c (dokill): glibc has an undocumented sys_sigabbrev array with
     signal names, so we no longer have to generate our own.
   * vis.c (isvisible): Comparison with UCHAR_MAX triggers `always true'
     warnings for unsigned char arguments; since this is already checked by
     isascii, remove it.  Closes: #268438.
   * vis.h: Remove OpenBSD-specific `bounded' attribute.
   * Switch to debhelper 4.
   * debian/doc-base: Add doc-base support.
   * debian/menu: Add menu file (thanks to Bill Allombert).  Closes: #187629.
   * debian/rules:
     - Re-enable -Werror on alpha now that #97603 is fixed.
     - Make sure groff uses traditional (non-ANSI) escape sequences.
     - Remove support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug.
     - Add support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt.
   * Conforms to Standards version 3.6.1.
