[sync request] Please sync miro from Debian unstable (main)

[Andres Mejia]

Please sync miro (1.0-1) from Debian unstable main. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/miro/miro_1.0-1.dsc

This package is newer than the package uploaded to Ubuntu. Here's a copy of the most recent changelog.

miro (1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (Closes: #449131, #451207).
    + Fixed malformed miro.xml file (Closes: #445871, #443510).
    + Drop several patches which were applied upstream.
  * Add missing libxv-dev build-dependency (Closes: #442832, #443006, #443045).
  * Miro shipped with a menu file since the beginning (Closes: #443211).
    It's currently in the 'Applications/Network/Web News' category.
  * Fix small typo in German translation (Closes: #451333).
  * Cannot reproduce the following bugs with this release. Please
    reopen if you still experience problems:
    + Miro crashes on play (Closes: #443266).
    + Used to work; now segfaults on startup (Closes: #444484).
      Please try removing the ~/.miro directory if the problem persists.
    + Segfault on startup (quicktime related?) (Closes: #444051).
    + Cannot install Miro (Closes: #443045). Unlikely to be a real bug,
      probably stems from mixing packages from stable/unstable.
  * New 'Recommends: libxine1-ffmpeg'.

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

Have you checked if all Ubuntu changes are included in the Debian package or can be dropped?

[Andres Mejia (amejia1)]

All changes have been made to the Debian package or have been included upstream. One extra change will have to be done for the Ubuntu. Ubuntu will need a build depends on python2.4-dev instead of just python-dev in order for the package to build.

[Andres Mejia (amejia1)]

Actually, changing the pyversions file and the DEB_PYTHON_COMPILE_VERSION variable to 2.5 in debian/rules is what would be needed. I've attached a patch that would help in this.

[Andres Mejia (amejia1)]

Changing one of the build dependencies from 'libxul-dev' to 'firefox-dev | libxul-dev' would be needed for Ubuntu as well.
