fontforge should be updated to 20120731 version

[Shriramana Sharma]

Hello. There has been a fontforge 20120731 release:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29620722
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29625605

Please update the Ubuntu fontforge package to this latest version. As per the second message, the b-version is the one to be used as the first version does not build on 64-bit systems.

BTW can we just remove the "0.0." from the versioning and have the release date as the version like it is seen upstream?

Thank you.

P.S.: I have reported this upstream but have filed it here anyway for the record. Have linked to the upstream bug too.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

fontforge 20120731.b-1 is now in debian experimental.

There's no reason for ubuntu-archive to be subscribed on this bug as no archive admin action is required, unsubscribing.

You want to find someone to do a merge of this package or provide a debdiff for ubuntu-sponsor to upload.

In case someone else wants to look at this, building the latest version from Debian fails:

/bin/bash ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c -c fontforge/fontforge /«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/nox/usr/bin
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c -c fontforge/fontforge /«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/nox/usr/bin/fontforge
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'fontforge/fontforge': No such file or directory
