libplist should be promoted to main.

I had a quick look; even if the testsuite is rather small, it would be nice to enable it since a generic C library for parsing plist files. This would give us confidence when adding patches, or allow us to drop new tests in there when we fix bugs -- to avoid regressions.

Alexander said he reviewed this already, so I'll defer to him for the full review.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

this is ok for me.

a few build warnings that would be great to fix:

1. strict-aliasing type punning -> consider to use -fno-strict-aliasing
2. unused return values from fread -> should be fixed for real code (in tests its ok).

also if we could get the testsuite enabled that would be even better ... for me just running ctest didnt work though, so it might need some clarification.

file bugs for those, but that shouldnt hold back main promotion.

MIR mentions Ubuntu Desktop will take responsability of this, so please subscribe the team to the source package.

It's great to see that Julien Lavergne is actively maintaining it in Debian and sub-ed to the Ubuntu bugs too.

Test suit is fixed upstream. I'll enable it in the next upload.

[Loïc Minier (lool)]

Great, thanks!

Should this be promoted? Please set to confirmed if so

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

It won't be promoted until something will actually pull it into main, i. e. if there is a reverse (build) dependency to it.

libgpod build-depends on libplist-dev now, I've promoted it, closing the bug
