Main Reasons for bugs

1. gcc >= 4.3 deprecation related issues
2. Other deprecation issues (e.g: boost >= 1.34.1)
3. ETICS configurations issues (e.g: package.requires, packageName, libtar.age=2+egee")
4. lib rather than lib64 issues.

TCD local build methodology

• To ensure no bugs are missed in creating the Debian 5.0 x86_64 glite-UI the following approach is taken to ensure everything is reported well ahead of time:

1. apply each of the above GNU -p1 patches inside each ${moduleName} directory
2. Override each of the problematic ETICS configurations that don't have patches
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until everything builds to 100%.
4. Deploy the complete glite-UI and subset glite-WN at TCD to ensure Yaim is adequately equipped to deal with Debian 5.0 specific issues.

Timeline for Local fixes (starting 31st August 2009)

• 31 components failing giving 75% build initially. Many patches already submitted to Savannah. Attempt to build everything on a local machine using the above iterative process (steps 1-3).
• 12 components failing at TCD (2009-09-03)

Future Work: Mac OS X build time issues

ETICS bug	dh_strip fails for many components on Mac OS X 10.5	https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/index.php?53697		1 line fix to ModulePackager.py
