I have been using the freetype2-2.1.9-1 package from neeri's exp dir for quite some time without problems. For all my purposes it was backward compatible with 2.1.3 (i.e. things compiled with the old library continue to run with the new one, and everything builds against the new version without problem).
Is there any objection against upgrading the freetype2 package to this version?
I have a reason for some urgency: A long-awaited new version of scribus came out today, and it gives me bus errors (crash inside libfreetype) when freetype2-2.1.3 is installed, but none when freetype2-2.1.9 is installed.
These crashes have been observed by others with the present prerelease version of scribus, and I have seen them occasionally myself, but now with the new "stable" version of scribus, the crash is systematic. So I cannot release the Fink package for scribus-1.2.1 unless freetype2 is updated.
Martin,
From the DescPackaging of mozilla:
"Using fink's freetype2 _ has to wait till version 1.8 to use freetype2 >> 2.1.7"
Would an update to 2.1.7 (for a short time hopefully) not satisfy scribus ?
Best,
Jean-Francois
