Hi team, I asked to be the new gnome-media maintainer, so i needed some new gnome libs to compile 2.14.0. I would like to ask to be included in the alioth project and there's a short summary of the things that will need to change in our debian/ tree to compile the bits that i already reviewed. I'm aware that Ubuntu has more stuff and if nobody started working on this i can review and merge their changes when necessary.
libbonobo: - Just bumping up the changelog to 2.14.0 and download the latest tarball will do the work. - Needs review, maybe the upstream added man pages and other stuff that we weren't building libgnome: - Bump up libbonobo related dependencies in debian/control (at least 2.13.whatever) - debian/tmp/usr/share/man should be added in debian/libgnome2-common.install - Our debian/rules looks really different than Ubuntu, i'm almost sure they have unneede things like a autotools.mk include. - Maybe we should consider add a lintian override due to the libgnome2-0 thing - gnome-open needs a manpage to, a help2man should do the work libgnomeui: - Drop debian/patches/20_gdk-thread-lock.patch - it was merged by the upstream libbonoboui: - Drop debian/patches/32_implicit-pointer.patch - it was merged by the upstream too I've worked on these packages based on the svn repositories, so if anyone wants to review my changes i can send the patches to the list. It's still a working progress to me, because there's too much stuff to review and package until gnome-media. Hope that helps, -- stratus
