Bug#514125: gdebi package updates (Debian stuff)
Hello Gustavo and Michael, I hope for you read this message. Gdebi package in Debian archive is too old yet, an update is needed. Current gdebi version in unstable is 0.3.11 when the latest upstream is 0.4.9. Unfortunately version 0.4.9 depends on python 2.6 which is not still in unstable, so we only can package it for experimental, or force it to use python 2.5 (I think this is not a good idea). But there are a version of gdebi that works pretty well in Debian testing/unstable now, it is 0.4.0 version. The current gdebi version in Debian 0.3.11 does not provide KDE frontend becouse it was problematic in Debian lenny with KDE 3.5, now KDE 4.2 is in testing and unstable and version 0.4.0 of gdebi provides a KDE4 frontend that is working now in Debian. So we could update gdebi to its 0.4.0 version until python 2.6 reach unstable, I have packages (binary and source) in my Launchpad PPA, so I can colaborate with you in this task. I will be waiting for your reply. Cheers.

Hi Rafael, Thanks for mailing us. I'm all for you uploading 0.4.0 in the meantime, yes. I'm sorry I will have no free time to promptly review it soon--just moved to United States, lots of real life issues to solve first. If Michael or any other DD can review it and upload, I'm more than ok with your NMU (non-maintainer upload).

Unfortunately version 0.4.9 depends on python 2.6 which is not still in unstable, so we only can package it for experimental, or force it to use python 2.5 (I think this is not a good idea). I think it should work just fine on python2.5. The only problem is probably the --install-layout=deb flag that got added for the ubuntu python2.6 changes. If that is removed, it should work fine with 2.5, I'm not aware of any 2.6 features that it uses. But there are a version of gdebi that works pretty well in Debian testing/unstable now, it is 0.4.0 version.

I'm happy that you want to work on this. Ideally the versions in debian and ubuntu should be the same and ubuntu would just sync from debian. Currently this is not the case because of the --install-layout=yes difference in debian/rules.

Hello, I have uploaded a package of 0.4.0 version by the moment to debian-mentors, I have received the confirmation of the upload: Your upload of the package 'gdebi' to mentors.debian.net was successful. Sponsors can now download it. The URL of your package is: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gdebi The respective dsc file can be found at: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gdebi/gdebi_0.4.0debian1+nmu1.dsc - You can check it and if you consider, upload it to Debian archive, It builds on an pbuilder fake unstable enviroment. Packaging 0.4.9 version require several tests by the mentioned issues.
