blender (2.46+dfsg-6) unstable; urgency=high
* Add patch to fix FTBFS now that python's sys.platform reports
linux2-$arch on various architectures (alpha, hppa, mips*, sparc), see
#499132. At toplevel, the SConstruct script sets ENV['OURPLATFORM'] to
sys.platform, and with this patch, makes it become 'linux2' when the
platform string starts with 'linux2', and since userland is the same,
ditto when the platform string starts with 'gnukfreebsd'. That patch
also adds a check for sys.platform starting with those variables in
various parts (which are not using ENV['OURPLATFORM]'), mostly in
SConscript scripts, and in Python scripts shipped under the
release/scripts directory (Closes: #503639):
- debian/patches/70_portability_platform_detection
* Keep urgency to “high” since the previous upload couldn't migrate to
testing because of this FTBFS.
* Enable GNU/kFreeBSD support again. The previous patch was obsolete,
and this new one benefits from the aforementioned one, since there's
no need to add a specific check for tests on ENV['OURPLATFORM']. Don't
delete the (already disabled) 10_gnukfreebsd_support patch to keep the
release team happy:
- debian/patches/80_gnukfreebsd_support
* Add documentation on how to upgrade to a new upstream release, which
will mostly be useful to keep those patches uptodate:
- debian/README.source
