Boian,

Hi.

Thanks for working on this.

If you are maintaining and think those changes are right and necessary, that
seems fine to me.

I have just built your new branch suites/unstable and it builds for me without
any other problems than the test failure (ignored) that we have both seen. I
assume you have checked functionality.

Are you able to fix #314?

A couple of comments about the packaging:-

- Please close #490 in the 'Fork for Devuan' changelog entry.

- d/gbp.cong: debian-tag would be better as devuan/%(version)s.

- d/control: please base the Vcs-* URLs on https://git.devuan.org/devuan/gpsd
so they will be correct once the package is in the definitive location.

- d/control: as you have renamed gpsd-dbg to gpds-dbg-tools (which seems
sensible) you will need conflicts, provides and replaces for gpsd-dbg
otherwise upgrades will fail due to a file conflict.

Once those are fixed I can copy the repo to https://git.devuan.org/devuan/gpsd
and make you maintainer. Then you will be able to trigger the production build.

Thanks.

Mark
