[FFe] sync gerbv 2.4.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Peter Clifton]

Binary package hint: gerbv

Ubuntu currently has 2.3.0-1, Debian has 2.4.0-1

The 2.4.0 release is primarily a bug-fix only release, although there were a couple of very minor feature additions, and the upstream source-control switched from CVS to git - producing a small additional "noise" delta between the two upstream versions in terms of the $Id$" markers in files, and the switch to a slightly different VCS -> ChangeLog generator.

Upstream git log between 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 (which is cleaner than comparing the generated ChangeLogs):

    fix bug 2949590 by making sure we catch null strtok results in the aperture parser
    This bug showed up in some very bad Gerber files. gerbv should now not segfault, but instead throw up errors and display what it can.

commit 0c17672e7dd07b8a6e4074176c4c7e704f33ad41
Author: Julian Lamb <email address hidden>
Date: Sat Jan 23 16:59:14 2010 -0500

    fix bug 2935054, where text in exported PDF files was illegible

    This bug was caused by our draw rule that all lines must be at least 1 pixel wide,
    which ensures they show up at far zoom levels. However, for 72DPI print or PDF output,
    this rule should be avoided because the cairo backends for these don't need them.

    * allow the RS274X parser to catch multiple "blocks" within a single line

    Fixes a bug reported by Dave N6NZ. Multiple blocks are clearly allowed within the same line in the RS274X spec, so this was a big ommision in gerbv.

    if it is actually a RS-274D file (fixes feature request 566142).

[Peter Clifton (pcjc2)]

A human generated summary of the changes between 2.3.0 and 2.4.0:

Trivial stuff:

Release engineering for version change
Change of build tools to auto-generate ChangeLog from git, rather than CVS
Bump libgerbv minor SO version. (NB: libgerbv is only used by gerbv, and is in the same binary package)

Bug fixes:

Fix upstream bug 2954915, where circular moves were parsed incorrectly with trailing zero suppression
Fix upstream bug 2949590 by making sure we catch null strtok results in the aperture parser
Fix upstream bug 2935054, where text in exported PDF files was illegible
Fix bug in file format recognition code, and clean up error messages with bad AD definitions
Allow the RS274X parser to catch multiple "blocks" within a single line. Multiple blocks are clearly allowed within the same line in the RS274X spec, so this was a big ommision in gerbv.
Fix sidebar bug where small scale and translations in X did not display a marker (bug and fix by mland, upstream bug #2901881)
Fix regression in FAST mode rendering with flashed apertures
Fix FAST mode translation rendering error in Y direction (upstream bug 2858102)
Fix upstream bug #2841371 (segfault on edit->orientation with no layer loaded)
Fix a typo to hopefully fix a step and repeat display bug
Fix upstream bug #2838645, where files with step and repeat didn't display correctly due to new optimizations
Fix a suprious line in a manpage
Update links to project's new website address

Bug fixes introducing new features:

Apply patch from Uwe Bonnes to display the total aperture uses in the anaylsis tool (upstream patch #2892537)
     (NB: This is a really minor change adding a count of the total number of apertures in a stats window).

Modify our parsing behavior for RS-274D files
    Try to parse files we suspect as RS-274D because of missing apertures/etc
    (fixes upstream bug 2864667), and create dummy apertures to roughly visualize
    the file if it is actually a RS-274D file (fixes upstream feature request 566142).

Add extern "C" around headers to help those linking libgerbv from C++

[Peter Clifton (pcjc2)]

Let me know if you want the ChangeLog diff as per FFe, but because the script used to auto-generate it changed between 2.3.0 and 2.4.0, it is almost a complete-rewrite delta. I included the commit log between 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 in the first comment above.

[Peter Clifton (pcjc2)]

I personally feel that the fix / feature ratio of this release means it is suitable for the FeatureFreeze for bug fix only updates (process agreed by motu-release): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze%20for%20bug%20fix%20only%20updates%20(process%20agreed%20by%20motu-release)

The only "features" added in this release are very minor ones. The one titled "Modify our parsing behavior for RS-274D files" allows gerbv to attempt to preview corrupt, or RS-274D, which gerbv has not previously supported - so will only affect bad (or RS-274D) gerbers files.

[Peter Clifton (pcjc2)]

I've verified that the package builds properly on my Lucid box, and have checked basic functionality and rendering on existing gerber files.

+gerbv (2.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ [ Gudjon I. Gudjonsson ]
+ * New upstream release
+ * Bump standards version to 3.8.4
+ * Remove patch 02_fix_manpage, fixed in upstream
+ * Add misc depends
+
+ [ Wesley J. Landaker ]
+ * Override lintian warnings about the shared library. This package is small
+ enough that splitting it doesn't make sense.
+ * Add Gudjon to uploaders.
+ * Move to debhelper compat level 7.
