byzanz: Uses deprecated gnome-common macros/variables
Last modified: 2018-07-01 08:25:22 UTC
Hi, I'm hereby forwarding Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/830011. gnome-common did a cleanup upstream and deprecated quite a few macros and variables. Apparently byzanz uses one of the macros or variables so might be affected, especially once you run autoreconf. gnome-doc-utils removal ======================= The gnome-doc-utils build infrastructure was removed completely along with the following macros: GNOME_DOC_INIT [1] GNOME_COMMON_INIT [2] deprecated variables ==================== The following variables used in gnome-autogen.sh have been declared deprecated [3]: REQUIRED_GNOME_DOC_UTILS_VERSION REQUIRED_DOC_COMMON_VERSION USE_COMMON_DOC_BUILD FORBIDDEN_M4MACROS GNOME2_DIR GNOME2_PATH USE_GNOME2_MACROS deprecated macros ================= The following macros have also been declared deprecated: GNOME_COMPILE_WARNINGS [4] GNOME_CXX_WARNINGS [5] Upstream has documentation at [6] with how you can fix your package and why those particular changes were made.

Byzanz is not under active development anymore and has not seen code changes for more than five years. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/byzanz/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
