[FFE] Sync new package liberasurecode (for vivid) Backport for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

This is still critical for openstack-swift - liberasurecode is a dependency for pyeclib which is used by Swift for Erasure Coding.

FYI, this is not accpted into Debian just yet. The ITP is still pending. Seems unlikely we'd get a special NEW ubuntu version in time for vivid.

I've unsubscribed ubuntu-release until there is an actual action they can take.

Thanks Clint. IIUC, this request for new package cannot be acted upon unless the package is accepted into Debian.

From Thomas Goirand:

Hi,

I have just uploaded version 1.0 to Sid. Best would be to use that one rather than the 0.9.10.

Cheers.

Hi Ubuntu release team. I'm hoping we can have liberasurecode in universe for vivid. Please advise if this is feasible seeing as it has now passed Debian NEW.

Ack. Approved. I'll take care of the sync.

This bug was fixed in the package liberasurecode - 1.0-1
Sponsored for Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)

---------------
liberasurecode (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release.
  * Standards-Version is now 3.9.6.
  * Added a watch file.
  * Added a patch to not include emmintrin.h so that the lib can build on
    non-x86 platforms (Closes: #779958).
  * Fixed debian/copyright after FTP masters comments.

Scott thanks so much for the sync.

I'm testing now and it appears the backport to trusty will require two more backports of things that don't exist in trusty:

gf-complete
jerasure

I will do additional testing on these later today.

no-change backports of all three packages resulted in successful build and test by me using sbuild and by user on their own trusty system.

To reiterate:

gf-complete
jerasure
liberasurecode

Thank you!

Hi Scott - there were some important recent updates to liberasurecode package and a new version (1.0.5) has been released - again, we are trying to get this released in time for Swift Erasure Coding support.

   https://packages.debian.org/sid/liberasurecode1 (1.0.5)
   https://packages.debian.org/sid/liberasurecode-dev (1.0.5)

Also:

   https://packages.debian.org/sid/python-pyeclib (1.0.5m)

We'll appreciate if you could help sync these packages to vivid and trusty-backports (this update has been tested to work on both vivid and trusty).

Thank you,

Tushar
