Petr Kadlec (mormegil) wrote : Libcroco needs update to a fixed version

libcroco [1] had a bug [2] in its versions 0.6.5 and 0.6.6, which results in e.g. librsvg rendering wrong green color. The bug has been fixed since 0.6.7 [3], but the Ubuntu 12.04 Precise LTS version contains the broken version 0.6.5-1 (and Quantal uses a newer, but still broken, 0.6.6-1; Raring seems to use the current (fixed) 0.6.8-1). [4] Because Wikimedia Foundation wikis (including Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons) suffer from this bug in SVG rendering [5], I was referred to here to report it/ask for the library to be updated, prior to patching it locally.

As I am not acquainted with Ubuntu/Debian policies/requirements/workflow for such changes, I hope I am not reporting it in a _completely_ wrong place… If so, feel free to forward this, or point me to a better place. Thanks.
