Hi gpm lovers, I was successful compiling 1.20.1 into deb packages under sid with few chenges. (Please not I am not claiming successful packaging)
* Downloaded gpm-1.20.1-dt8.src.rpm from Dmitry Torokhov's http://www.geocities.com/dt_or/gpm/gpm.html page. tar file and patches were extracted and imported. * Imported 014_has_mouse_control.patch from old debian package as gpm-1.20.1-108-mouse_control.patch . * Remove duplicate type definition as gpm-1.20.1-109-redef.patch . * Ajust debian/rules to new source subdirectories etc. -- Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 21 Apr 2005 21:53:30 +0200 Please note I did not tryed to merge autops2 thing which is Debian patch not merged by the upstream nor Dmitry Torokhov. I just confirmed no device like autops2 in this. I post this here so people understand why Debian is stuck with old 1.19.6 version. Basically debian package is a folk which has autodetect function. I will keep my package at http://people.debian.org/~osamu/package After this I lost interest. But this may still be a good reference if some one seriously think merging these non-debian 1.20.1 and debin gpm. Why I did this? Because I have synaptic on my system. So far synps2 of 1.20.1 package did not work for me.
