Please backport supertuxkart 0.8-1 (universe) from raring

[Vincent Cheng]

Please backport supertuxkart 0.8-1 (universe) from raring to quantal.

Reason for the backport:
========================
STK 0.8 offers a host of improvements and new features (see http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net). More importantly, since this version uses the embedded copy of irrlicht provided in the source package (see debian/README.source for my rationale), it's not (or shouldn't be) affected by bug 1011180 (and its many duplicates).

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise supertuxkart

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

I uploaded the backported package to this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~vincent-c/+archive/vincents-sandbox

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of supertuxkart. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new supertuxkart. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new supertuxkart installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

supertuxkart-data

supertuxkart

* junior-games-gl
  [X] precise (Reverse-Recommends)
* ezgo-games
  [X] precise (Reverse-Recommends)

(These are all just metapackages.)

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

The only way to backport to precise at the moment is through quantal. Could you please confirm that the supertuxkart binaries install and run on quantal?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Precise backport is confirmed as testing has been completed.

[Vincent Cheng (vincent-c)]

I can confirm that these packages install cleanly and supertuxkart runs on quantal. Thanks!
