I have prepared an NMU to fix this and other critical issues, by
importing the current upstream version, which has many bugfixes. It
is available from http://www.owlfolio.org/scratchpad/debian/ Here is
the changelog:
pngcrush (1.7.65-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* NMU to fix the more serious problems with this dormant package.
* New upstream release (Closes: #657855, #612934).
- Should now build with libpng 1.5 (Closes: #648128).
- No longer crashes when adding more than two text chunks
(Closes: #678436).
- Upstream has switched to .xz tarballs, follow suit.
- patches/*: Normalize file names.
- patches/local_Makefile_adjustments.diff: Refresh.
Use -Wl,--as-needed to pull in -lm only if actually required.
Do not attempt to override configuration macros defined by the
system pngconf.h.
- patches/local_version_skew_warning_only_if_verbose.diff: Refresh.
* Build-depend on libpng-dev (Closes: #662471).
* Bump to debhelper compatibility level 9 and dh-ify.
* Install upstream changelog.
* Standards-Version: 3.9.4 (no further changes required).
Please note that I have not tested compilation with libpng 1.5;
however, the new upstream version is advertised to support it. Also,
the manpage is now out of date wrt --help. (Unfortunately I do not
speak docbook.)
I recognize that this is an unusually aggressive set of changes for an
NMU, but since the package has not seen an upload in three years I
think it is justified.
I do not have upload privileges for Debian (nor do I particularly want
them). Please consider reviewing and uploading this NMU.
