Please backport osm-gps-map 1.0.2-1 (universe) from utopic-proposed

[Ross Gammon]

Please backport osm-gps-map 1.0.2-1 (universe) from utopic-proposed to trusty.

Reason for the backport:
========================
Version 1.0.2-1 of the osmgpsmap library has been updated to GTK3, as well as
the python bindings (gir package). The Gramps package has an optional Geography view which makes use of the new gir package. At the moment, Gramps users cannot use the Geogrpahy view, because Trusty only contains the previous GTK2 package (python-osmgpsmap) which no longer works with Gramps which has been refactored to use GTK3.

Osmgpsmap Version 1.0.2-1 also provides the libosmgpsmap-dev (v0.7.3-3) package as a virtual package, and the two versions happily coexist so the few r-depends of the older osmgpsmap will keep on working.

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 utopic -d trusty osm-gps-map

* trusty:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 installs cleanly and runs
[X] libosmgpsmap-1.0-0 installs cleanly and runs
[X] libosmgpsmap-1.0-dev installs cleanly and runs
[X] libosmgpsmap-1.0-0-dbg installs cleanly and runs

No reverse dependencies

- Installed gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 (which depends on libosmgpsmap-1.0-0) and the Geography view in Gramps is automatically enabled and works fine.
- Installed the -dev package and checked that all the header files are installed and the documentation & examples.
- Installed the -dbg package and gdb read the symbols file okay.

Okay, thanks. I've uploaded it. I think it should be safe for existing packages as far as they go since python-osmgpsmap will still be available in trusty release.

btw, could you look at osm-gps-map in utopic? Seems it might make sense to remove creepy and gpxviewer for now?

Thanks Iain (& sorry if you get this twice with a cc),

I chased up the situation in Debian a few weeks back, and the gpxviewer
maintainer was working on porting to the latest osmgpsmap.

For creepy, there is a chance I could help fix this in the Debian GIS
team. The packaging was pushed there, but the guy that was going to do
it seems busy on other things, and although the latest upstream of
creepy will not rely on the old osmgpsmap, there was some problem about
where the package was installing files.

Actually, there is also subsurface which build-depends (incorrectly I
believe) on the old osmgpsmap. The maintainer has not responded to my
suggesting this yet. For Debian, I need subsurface sorted out so
osmgpsmap can migrate to Testing.

What is the usual Release milestone to aim at for removal (so I can work
out how long I have to try and get things fixed)?

Regards,

Ross
