I attempt to rebuild all packages in this list in a clean chroot. Out of all the packages, only gmameui, tuxcmd-modules, and deb-gview appear to require changes to their sources in order to build with the latest libarchive. All other packages can simply be binNMUed. One other note, hydrogen currently fails to build, although that stems from a different issue which has already been addressed and pending a new upload. The pending version of hydrogen builds with the latest version of libarchive. -- Regards, Andres Mejia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
