Sync twitux 0.69-3 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

[Jacob Peddicord]

Binary package hint: twitux

Please sync twitux 0.69-3 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
All Ubuntu changes were for new upstream releases that had not quite made
their way to Debian.
 * 0.62-0ubuntu1 - New upstream version
 * 0.68-0ubuntu1:
   - Patch rules were dropped as well in Debian
   - Extra build-deps were added in Debian
 * 0.69-0ubuntu1:
   - --enable-aspell switched out for --enable-spell in Debian
   - build-dep on libenchant-dev added in Debian
   - libaspell dropped in Debian
All of these changes can be safely replaced by 0.69-3 in unstable.

Changelog since current karmic version 0.69-0ubuntu1:

twitux (0.69-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Remove /var/lib/scrollkeeper dir (Closes: #525574).

Jacob, it does not look like Debian has a Build-Depends on 'rarian-compat', which was added in 0.68-0ubuntu1. Also, in Ubuntu, we have versioned Build-Depends on gnome-doc-utils and intltool. Do we really need a certain version of these packages? Are these changes still needed? If so, you might consider contacting the Debian Maintainer and seeing if they will add it in Debian. That way we can sync the package instead of merging it. If the changes can be dropped, please say so, and we can go ahead with the sync.

[Jacob Peddicord (jpeddicord)]

Debian has a build-dep on scrollkeeper instead of rarian-compat. rarian-compat in Ubuntu provides scrollkeeper as a virtual package, so they are effectively the same at build time.

I checked the versioning on gnome-doc-utils and intltool: both specify minimum versions lower than those in the archives for any Ubuntu release, so even on an older system this should be okay.

So yes, I believe these changes can be safely dropped. :)

The package currently FTBFS for me in a Karmic pbuilder chroot.

I was able to build this package not too long ago, however obviously it does not at the moment, so I'm going to close this bug. It is probably not difficult to merge the changes, but that would only divert the package from Debian again. My main reasons for a sync would be to keep up with Debian changes without hassle in MoM or other merges, and for a little bit of packaging practice. I think that it may still be a transient problem, in which case I may reopen it later. Thanks nhandler for your assistance on this!
