The cson_amalgamation.c file is only used by Fossil is you build with
"configure --json".  So, omit the --json on Debian (which you are probably
already doing anyhow.)

You can substitute empty files for cson_amalgamation.c and
cson_amalgamation.h.

Right, the only config option used now is --disable-internal-sqlite.
But unfortunately this is not quite enough to satisfy the persnickety
filters.  I'll have to make a repackaged source tarball that does not
include the problematic file, so it won't be in a source distribution.
But the build system barfs if the file is missing, so I'll have to
deal with that.  Also it is a derived file, and the original source
isn't in the repo.

Gah.

The "patch" for both of these bugs is to just replace
 src/cson_amalgamation.{c,h}
by empty files in a +dfsg recombobulated upstream tarball.
I'll go ahead and do the machinations.  Unless someone else does an NMU
first.  A 0-day NMU.  Which I totally wouldn't mind.  Hint Hint.

Hi Barak,

There is a newer version in unstable, so this update has to go to
testing-proposed-updates, which requires pre-approval from the release team. I
uploaded a version with the changes you mentioned to mentors.debian.net and I
will file the t-p-u request. When the approval from the release team is
granted, I will ask for sponsorship to do the upload.

http://mentors.debian.net/package/fossil

Cheers,

Ivo
