So as you can see there are many new functionality in GLEW, and some bugfixes that will ease life of current GLEW users. And great ones (like support of newest OGL!).

[Jirka Daněk (juraad)]

Hello, with some guidance on #ubuntu-devel I have updated the package. It works for me, there are really cool stuff in OGL4.1. I have it in a bzr repository on my computer. I want to contribute it. I am not sure if sending my changes in a diff is smart, because with all changes to the GLEW it is really big. I am new to launchpad, so I will do it. But I will be glad If you could tell me how to do this better. The diff also may need some more work, because nobody on the IRC has seen it and reviewed it.

Happy New Year, Jirka

Should the glew 1.5.7 package be synced from debian/experimental? The one in ubuntu was uploaded exactly one year ago.

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/g/glew/glew_1.5.7-1/changelog

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Yes, please make this a sync request for 1.5.7-1. Previous Ubuntu delta was included in 1.5.3-2 AFAICS. If I am missing something and there still would be needed changes, please get them into Debian, there should be no need for a separate Ubuntu version. Otherwise the delta should be kept minimal and be well documented in the changelog.

Setting bug status back to new as this is now a sync request

This is a merge since we have changes in Ubuntu.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging

I can help with merge. However, I can't find code of following change:
    - The debian Makefile had trailing '^M' characters; once sanitized the
      diff between the debian/ubuntu Makefile looks as follows:
      http://pastebin.ca/1447378

Muharem, could you help?

Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors since there is no debdiff to sponsor.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Yes, documenting changes on a pastebin is in general not so smart. I think he pasted it there to make it clear what the "real" changes were because the normal debdiff had all lines changes due to the scrubbed ^M characters.

The only listed Ubuntu change in 1.5.1-7ubuntu1 was this:
 - Build shared libraries with CC, not LD.
but it is not documented why this is a necessary change in Ubuntu.
1.5.7-1 builds fine in Ubuntu as it is. There is a $(LD) in the Makefile, but
it is evaluated as "cc" anyway.

The useful changes in 1.5.1-7ubuntu2 were:
    + Makefile: Generate pkg-config files
    + debian/libglew{,mx}1.5-dev.install:
    + debian/rules: Amend for pkg-config addition
which all seem to have been fixed in 1.5.3-2.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

If no one is willing to debate this, I'll move it to a sync request again...

Jirka, thanks anyway for working on a merge. Debian caught up in the meantime.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

+1 to a sync for this.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

przemo_li, just a warning, due to bug 523093 you may have your (possibly hidden) launchpad e-mail address exposed by this sync requests. If this is not OK for you maybe the archive administrators can defer from referencing this bug report.

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

What about that change?

That was taken care of in 1.5.3-2, right?

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

OK, +1 for sync. ATM there is no need to keep debian/watch since experimental has got updated package. I forwarded debian/watch change to BTS.

[przemo_li (przemoli)]

Hi!

And WoW!

I've filled bug repport about 1.5.7 available on upstream website! Not about deb sync request (whatever it is).

@Tormod Volden

"przemo_li, just a warning, due to bug 523093 you may have your (possibly hidden) launchpad e-mail address exposed by this sync requests. If this is not OK for you maybe the archive administrators can defer from referencing this bug report."

It is not my sync request ?!? ?!? I did not know even that this possible bug was created by laggs in deb package updates.

So yes if any one can point me to docs about whats going on, an how to hide my email (because it is too old, I almost do not use it, and i'm not checking it any more).

And if this "sync" will result in Ubu10.10 glew packages update to 1.5.7 I like it and give:
+1

[Artur Rona (ari-tczew)]

Przemek, you can read more about syncs on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess

I can file new, fresh sync request for it if you are fine with this, Tormod and Bryce?

Yep, works for me.
