Hardy: Please update glom to latest version

[Murray Cumming]

Binary package hint: glom

Ubuntu Hardy Heron currently has Glom 1.6.6. The latest version is Glom 1.6.9 which has several important fixes. I can't imagine any risk to shipping the latest version in Hardy.

This bug contains a discussion of updating the version in Gutsy, and currently demands that multiple patches be filed against the current version instead of just updating to the latest upstream tarball:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glom/+bug/186869

Hopefully something more realistic is possible for Hardy at this stage (after the freeze, but before the stable release).

I was planning on working on this, but I was waiting for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgda3/+bug/200292 to close since glom 1.6.9 requires libgda3 3.0.2 .

Closing this bug would probably also close this one:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glom/+bug/200194

as well.

Chris.

[Christophe Sauthier (christophe.sauthier)]

Exactly, I was wainting for the same thing.

So go ahead, I let you handle this..

[Chris Brotherton (protonchris)]

Primarily bug fixes. Changelog additions from version 1.6.6 -> 1.6.9

[Chris Brotherton (protonchris)]

Installs cleanly on Hardy

[Chris Brotherton (protonchris)]

Please consider a feature freeze exception for this package. This new version of this software is mostly bugfixes (see changelog above).

[Chris Brotherton (protonchris)]

This updated package will close both this bug and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glom/+bug/200194

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Apart from the reformatting named in changelog, all others seem to be only bug fixes. ACK #1.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

Ack #2 and confirmed.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Upload is OK, on hold until bug 190744 is fixed.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package glom - 1.6.9-0ubuntu1

---------------
glom (1.6.9-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #201385)
  * Fixed package so that it depends on libgdamm3.0-dev instead of
    libgdamm-3.0-dev (LP: #200194)
  * Rebuild against updated libgdamm3.0 soname.

Thanks.

Note that this new Ubuntu package depends on postgres 8.3 instead of postgres 8.2. That would usually be good, but there is unfortunately a problem with postgres 8.3 that's fixed in upstream Glom 1.6.10, which I just released.

That's also mentioned on this launchpad bug report:

Murray,

Will you submit a new bug for this update? Go ahead and subscribe me to the new bug. I will probably wait to update glom until the most recent version of libgdamm3.0 enters ubuntu. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgdamm3.0/+bug/190744

[Murray Cumming (murrayc)]

OK:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glom/+bug/204039

I didn't think it was necessary because it's a problem with the package uploaded via this bug, and because the problem is what was blocking
