gnu smalltalk is being removed from the upcoming ubuntu release

See

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2010-April/000700.html

Actually no Smalltalk will be available in that version of Ubuntu as
squeak is also being removed.

What was the rationale?

opening the link mentions that it was un-buildable from source. I'm on lucid
and I can take the package and attempt to build it. I will also try to find
logs of their autobuilder.

I can't find the failed build record easily
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnu-smalltalk is the starting
point to find such things)

3.1 hasn't been synced because its still in Debian unstable and hasn't
propogated to testing -
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=gnu-smalltalk

The Ubuntu package is unmodified from the Debian package, so grabbing
the 3.1-2 source package from debian and testing that on Ubuntu in a PPA
would be a great step to see whether its good to get reintroduced or
not.

Can anybody here do an NMU?

I'd start by posting a patch to the Debian BTS; if the maintainer
doesn't respond, then an NMU can be done (and I can do that).

Thanks.  Here is the patch, maintainer is CCed.

Another problem: you need to run

sed -i 's/\. retcode/. .\/retcode/' tests/local.at tests/testsuite

(this is basically patch 3ab4dc6e) to cater for bash 4.0.

Hello Robert,

I currently lack time and won't be able to have a look at this until
this week-end at best. Please NMU gnu-smalltalk in Debian so that it
does not get removed from Ubuntu.

Thanks,
Regards,

Thomas
