Package: src:ziproxy Version: 3.2.0-2 Tags: sid stretch patch Blocks: 803158 User: gif...@packages.debian.org Usertags: giflib5
Planning an update of giflib to the current version 5.1.1. Giflib slightly changes it's API, requiring soureful changes. There are some options for getting giflib5.1 support:
- Look for a newer upstream version, if upstream supports both giflib4 and giflib5.1. Upload the new package, and close the bug report. - Patch the code to both use the NEW API. This can be done using #if GIFLIB_MAJOR >= 5 <giflib5 code> #else <giflib4 code> #endif Please upload the package, and close the report. - Unconditionally patch the code, not supporting giflib4 anymore. Please upload a package to experimental once giflib5 hits experimental. For the latter two options, please see a patch at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/222933036/ziproxy_3.2.0-2build2_3.2.0-2ubuntu1.diff.gz To test your changes before giflib5 is found in experimental, please use deb https://people.debian.org/~doko/tmp/giflib5 ./ Thanks, Matthias
