It is now time to start the libpng1.6 transition. A lot of packages will be built automatically on the auto import open, so we really should have libpng-dev provided by libpng1.6 before that time.
todolist: 1) accept my libpng1.6 sync (currently in unapproved) 2) merge my lp: #1573415 bug (old libpng without the libpng-dev provides string) 3) sync/merge gdk-pixbuf on top of the new libpng1.6 (and maybe wxwidgets3.0/webkitgtk/webkit2gtk/qtbase-opensource-src) 4) let auto-import fix many of the dependencies 5) finish the transition of course I can do all the -universe -multiverse stuff, hopefully main has just a few packages depending on libpng-dev ** Changed in: libpng (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => High ** Summary changed: - libpng 1.6 support + libpng 1.6 transition -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libpng in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524328 Title: libpng 1.6 transition Status in libpng package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As said, in Debian it is pretty much in place, and I sync'd/merged almost every package in Ubuntu too. Would it be possible to have the transition done for Xenial? I can fix stuff in Universe, but not in Main (there is not many packages there AFAICS) this is the debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650601 you can start from this message: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650601#691 thanks! Gianfranco ---- Libpng 1.6 has been out for a little while, apparently it has some important fixes for pngquant (which is also in Ubuntu). There are comments here that maybe useful: https://github.com/pornel/pngquant/blob/master/rwpng.c Presumably at some point libpng1.2 will be EOL so we'll need to upgrade anyhow!
