Please backport amsn 0.98.9-1ubuntu1 (universe) from quantal

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Please backport amsn 0.98.9-1ubuntu1 (universe) from quantal to precise and older releases.

Reason for the backport:
========================
Amsn was already in Ubuntu but was dropped because it wasn't maintained and had unpatched security vulnerabilities.
Amsn is now back in both Debian and Quantal and the security bug has been fixed.

Testing:
========

* precise:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] amsn installs cleanly and runs
[X] amsn-data installs cleanly and runs

I'm building it in my ppa right now

No reverse dependencies

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

The changes
  * debian/control:
    - Build-depend on libfarstream-0.1-dev
    - Depend on libfarstream-0.1-0 and xdg-utils
should be dropped, the only modification is 08_use_aplay_for_sound.patch that will be fixed upstream or in debian too, see [1]
  * debian/patches/08_use_aplay_for_sound.patch:
    - Use aplay from alsa-utils instead of play from sox for sounds

It sounds likes you want to make those changes in the development release. We generally try to make no change backports unless there's something that's changed since the release you're backporting to.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I prefer a no changes backport, the remaining changes will be fixed upstream

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Approved based on testing provided

Uploaded and accepted

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

This needs to go through binary NEW, I'll approve the binaries one they're build on all archs

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

Hi Micah, every arch has been built.

Thanks
