Package: trigger-rally
Version: 0.6.6.1-4
Hello!
We are pleased to announce a new release after a few years of hiatus:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/trigger-rally/files/trigger-0.6.7/
Packaging-wise there's not that much changed; we removed a GLU dependency and
incorporated two patches, disable-strip.patch and libtinyxml2-7.0.0.patch,
into the source tree.
We also moved two data files, trigger-rally.appdata.xml and
trigger-rally.desktop, into another directory.
Other than that, everything should be the same.
I attach a patch against 0.6.6.1's debian config which incorporates most
changes and allows packages to be built, you can use it as a baseline. Beware
that it removes verbose-build.patch.
I'll be more that glad to answer any questions in case you have some.
Best regards,
Ivan
