Please merge collectd 5.5.0-3 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hey, this bug was not set up to show up at http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/ by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess , so I only noticed it by looking at other bug's comments. Subscribed ubuntu-sponsors.

However, also included in that process is to study what do to about the Ubuntu specific changes. I don't see in Debian changelog any of the following so I think this sync is not sponsorable before there's an Ubuntu specific upload prepared or the changes are merged to Debian:

Remaining changes:
    - debian/rules: Update config.{sub,guess} with dh_autotools-dev for
      arm64.
    - libperl-linkage.dpatch: Separate Perl ldopts into components suitable
      for LDFLAGS and LIBS, fixing build failure with 'ld --as-needed'.
    - Patch configure, aclocal.m4 and libtool.m4 for ppc64le.

Thanks for the details Timo !

libperl-linkage.dpatch can be dropped for sure. This has been fixed upstream (https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pull/390) and is included in 5.5.0. The collectd project makes nightly builds for trusty and precise, and the perl plugin builds and works fine out of the box now.

I'm not sure about the patches for arm64 and ppc64le, but what I can tell is that 5.5.0-3 builds fine on these architectures on debian (see https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=collectd&suite=sid). As both these patches are 2 years old, I wonder if they aren't just a legacy ?

One last thing, merging 5.5.0-3 will probably trigger https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802249
5.5.0-4 is due shortly and will have a fix for it, so my advice would be to put this on hold a few days until 5.5.0-4 gets into sid.

By the way, updating to 5.5.0 will also fix #1398579

Thanks Marc for the patch explanations! Syncing 5.5.0-4 once available should be good then, let's wait for that.

Unsubscribing sponsors team for now.

FYI 5.5.0-4 was uploaded to debian unstable a few minutes ago.

This bug was fixed in the package collectd - 5.5.0-4
