I got this error applying your debdiff, thanks for your work.

Please resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors when this is fixed.

[mjc (mjc-avtechpulse)]

Maybe someone can test upstream moserial from git master. It should fix the above issues. If it does, I'll release it as 2.32.0.

There is a 2.32.0 release now, which should hopefully build cleanly on Ubuntu. It builds on Fedora 14, anyway.

@Michael Chudobiak
Thanks a lot for telling.
I'll look into it and upload as soon as possible.

The new version is also not building cleanly. There are some errors.
Here is the output of my debuild.

[mjc (mjc-avtechpulse)]

Sigh. It looks like lots has changed in vala 0.12.x. We'll need to add lots of:

#if VALA_0_12
... Code for Vala >= 0.11
#else
... Code for older Vala
#endif

I'm not sure when that will happen. Patches, anyone?

- Mike

[mjc (mjc-avtechpulse)]

There is a 3.0.0 release of moserial now, which should build on vala 0.12/0.13.

- Mike

[Ilya Barygin (randomaction)]

3.0.1 is in Oneiric.
