please sync package robot-player from debian unstable

[Toby Collett]

The robot-player package was recently added to debian and it would be great if it made it to Gutsy.

[Caspar Clemens Mierau (leitmedium)]

Thanks for your sync request. You can heavily speed up the process when you provide us with the following information:

Source package name

Source package version number to sync

Where to sync from (e.g. 'Debian sid main', 'Debian experimental non-free')

If there are Ubuntu changes apart from debian/changelog or if UpstreamVersionFreeze is in effect:

A copy of the entries from debian/changelog corresponding to the changes relative to the current version in Ubuntu

If there are Ubuntu changes:

a description of each of the Ubuntu changes (a bullet point list is fine, but copies of debian/changelog aren't)

a brief explanation of why each one may be dropped (e.g., it's been merged into Debian, is no longer appropriate, etc.)

an explicit confirmation that the Ubuntu changes should be overridden.

Source Package Name: player
Source Version: 2.0.4-1
Sync from: debian unstable main

It currently does not exist in ubuntu, this is a new package.

The source package will not build against Gutsy (or debian unstable for that matter) due to debian bug # 424906 which has not yet been resolved.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=424906

After manually applying the change indicated in the bug report for python-central the debian package will build without modification on ubuntu Gutsy.

[Toby Collett (thjc)]

The upstream bug in python-central has been resolved in both debian and ubuntu so this package should now build without modification from the debian package.
