Please merge libming1 1:0.4.2-4 (universe) from debian experimental (main)

[Shirish Agarwal]

Upstream released a new version. This is the differences between the last release done & one upstream has released on www.libming.org:

 ming (1:0.4.2-4) experimental; urgency=low

   * 05_shared_perl: Let the perl module link with the shared library instead
     of forcing the archive. This is needed for work on hppa, where using -fPIC
     alone is not enough. Closes: #510154

ming (1:0.4.2-3) experimental; urgency=low

   * 04_PIC: turn on -fPIC for alpha, ia64, and hppa

 -- Stuart R. Anderson <email address hidden> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:43:53 -0500
ming (1:0.4.2-2) experimental; urgency=low

   * Inline the text of the PHP license for completeness,
     and policy conformance.
   * Note that the new version should also fix a FTBFS. Closes: #497749

ming (1:0.4.2-1) experimental; urgency=low

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

I'm not sure what you are referring to. "Syncing" means "sync from Debian" (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess). If this is the case: these are the changes that were done in Ubuntu:

ming (1:0.3.0-12ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * transition from libungif to giflib (LP: #174252)
    - debian/control: s/libungif4-dev/libgif-dev/
  * Modify Maintainer value to match the DebianMaintainerField
    specification.

These might need to get merged manually.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Also, a Feature Freeze exception (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess) is required.

[Shirish Agarwal (shirishag75)]

Lucia,
While i can do the diffs very well of the changelog but no more than that, don't have the required technical skills.

Daniel,
    You're right, perhaps I need to say upgrade for the same issue is also in debian.

[Stuart Anderson (anderson-netsweng)]

A 0.4.0 package will be uploaded to Debian Experimental soon.

[Stuart Anderson (anderson-netsweng)]

0.4.2 is in experimental now

[Jonathan Traylor (jtraylor-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Indeed, 0.4.2 is in debian experimental: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libming1

[Eric Hedekar (stochastic)]

Can we please see this merged soon? A few other programs have major swf related bugs that get fixed with the 0.4.2 version of ming.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ming - 1:0.4.3-1ubuntu1
