Please promote libicu40 to Diablo Extras

2010-02-02 Thread Glen Ditchfield
Since the Diablo promoter is broken, could someone manually promote libicu40 from Diablo's extras-devel to Extras? The libboost-regex1.34.1 in Extras depends on it. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/ma

I uploaded fribidi_0.10.9-1maemo1 to the Chinook and Diablo Extras builders on Thursday to replace fribidi-0.10.7-4osso1. The builds in both were successful, but as far as I can see the results haven't made it to the extras-devel repositories yet. Is something blocking them? __

Problem with quilt when rebuilding chinook package on autobuilder

2008-06-23 Thread Glen Ditchfield
The Chinook extras rebuild page [1] lists at least three packages that fail to rebuild because of problems with the quilt patch manager: libfont-ttf-perl, nfs-utils, and sdlpango. All three declare build-depends on quilt; all three attempt to include a file in their debian/rules file (/usr/sha
