shairport-sync is an executable, shairport-sync(1) ought to be its
documentation, not merely miscellaneous information.
OpenBSD adjusts this in its audio/shairport-sync port/package ever since.
Previously I have made spelling changes as caught by Debian's lintian
tool, which has a short list of common misspellings that it tests for.
This time I decided to run codespell against the source and fix all the
obvious problems it came up with. It also uses a list of misspellings
but it's much larger than lintian's, but also has some false positives
so I went over the list by hand.
The command I used to do check the source was:
git ls-tree -rz --name-only HEAD | xargs -0 codespell -L minimise,errorstring
Using the --with-systemd option will cause make install to
issue groupadd and useradd commands which will fail in
mock build environments like koji and copr.
- Fixed Version: from 2.8.2 to 2.8.3.
- Fixed Release: special characters were reported as non-compliant by checkinstall
- Replaced all occurrences of character Horizontal Tab, ASCII Dec #9, that was used everywhere between a colon and tag value, with a Blank Space ASCII Dec #32. Horizontal Tab caused problems when creating a .deb package, tag values were reported as non-compliant by checkinstall.
- Fixed Requires: popt
If a .deb package was created with Requires: popt, the .deb package could not be installed due to a missing Package popt:
venca@cubox-i:~/shairport-sync$ sudo dpkg -i shairport-sync_2.8.3-1_armhf.deb

After Requires: popt was changed to Requires: libpopt-dev and a new .deb package was created, the new .deb package could be installed.
