Please sync f-spot 0.4.1-1 from Debian unstable (main)

[Maia Everett]

Binary package hint: f-spot

A new upstream release of F-Spot is now available.

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/f-spot/0.4/

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

Debian, meanwhile, is looking for a new maintainer for F-Spot, as their version is outdated. Tim Retout has expressed an interest in packaging 0.4.1.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=453474

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

I've been discussing the new release with the Debian developers. The package should be ready very soon, maybe even later today.

It should also be ready for a direct sync, without any further Ubuntu changes. I'll post the details here when it is uploaded to Debian.

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

F-Spot 0.4.1 has been uploaded to Debian, but is still in incoming.debian.org. I'll change this to a sync bug once it is uploaded to the archive.

For now, the debian/changelog entry:

Regarding Ubuntu changes:
- All changes taken from upstream SVN in 0.4.0-0ubuntu2 can be dropped - they're fixed in upstream release 0.4.1.
- Change in 0.4.0-0ubuntu3 to update translation files can be dropped - they have been updated upstream.

Therefore, the Debian release can be synced as is, rather than merged.

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

Now in the Debian archive, so changing to a sync request.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The new version Build-Depends on libflickrnet2.1.5-cil which is in universe

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

F-Spot ships with bundled copies of mono-addins and libflickrnet, but for 0.4.1, Debian decided to link against external libraries instead.

We could either change it back to a bundled libflickrnet, or file a MIR for libflickrnet. I'll try the latter first.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks, could you add the MIR bug number there when you written it? If we can get reviewed quickly it makes sense to do the sync otherwise we can do an upload using the copy until the lib is accepted to main and then sync again on debian

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

The MIR is bug #177169.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for the work there, I synced the package from debian, we can modify the build later if required

[kling0n (ubuntu-skadaha)]

what is the status of this sync request ?
can we expect the new package to be available soon? could you give an ETA?

thanks

[Maia Everett (linneris)]

It has been synced and is currently building for Hardy.
