Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: blam
Despite having been updated for the Mono 2.0 transition, Blam appears to
still have 1.0 dependencies. This has been tracked down - to a binary-
only library on orig.tar.gz. This has been replaced in the latest
upstream with some equivalent (but incompatible) source.
In addition, the rendering engine has been switched from the troublesome
(and abandoned upstream) Gecko#, to the up-and-coming Webkit# (which has
fringe benefits such as easier compilation and becoming arch-all instead
of arch-any).
I'm requesting a FFe for Blam, primarily to address the first issue
(where the second issue comes in as a consequence).
I've tested compilation, installation & execution in a Jaunty VM, and it
seems fine; it has no rdeps. I don't forsee any problems (or at the very
least I can't see it being made worse than it is now, with binary-only
components shipped in the package source)
