liblo0 needs to be updated

[Matthias Klumpp]

liblo0-dev version 0.26 is available, but Debian and Ubuntu only have 0.23 packaged.
A package which I am packaging at time needs a newer version, it would be great if liblo0-dev could be updated.

I attached an updated version of that package.

We're in Feature Freeze right now, can you follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess ?

For Ubuntu it should be 0.26-0ubuntu1 and it (LP: #423792) in debian/changelog. Attaching the .diff.gz should be good enough.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Why do you bump debian/compat, the debhelper build-depends and the Standards-Version? They should have no impact and are better updated in Debian, or else we'll carry that diff for no good reason.

Also it doesn't build on amd64 karmic:
dh_installudev -pliblo0-dev
dh_lintian -pliblo0-dev
dh_install -pliblo0-dev
dh_install: liblo0-dev missing files (debian/tmp/usr/lib/lib*.a), aborting
make: *** [binary-install/liblo0-dev] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
E: Failed autobuilding of package

[Matthias Klumpp (ximion)]

Oops!
This works. But the library was named liblo.so.0.23 -> liblo.7, so maybe the package name has to be changed.
I updated those information to fix some lintian errors. Is a feature-freeze exception necessary? The package is nothing critical, just a "nice to have" for applications that need liblo > 0.23.

Thanks for duplicating bug #255360

Oh, sorry! It was too late yesterday, I haven't seen those bug reports.
