The current totem-plugin-arte package in Wheezy is unusable because of a changes on Arte's website. My package is on mentors.debian.net: http://mentors.debian.net/package/totem-plugin-arte The version I'm proposing is directly based on the latest upstream release, which fix this problem and some other (small) issues. Backporting the relevant commits as patches to the current wheezy version would bring most of the code from the new upstream version, so I thought adding a small patch to make the new version build with the old Totem from Wheezy was the right thing to do. Here is the upstream changelog since 3.1.2 (the current Wheezy version), with some annotations. ----- 2013 September 22th - Totem Arte Plugin 3.2.1 Changes since 3.2.0: * Fixed the extraction of https video links * Fixed preferences mnemonics in English 2013 September 10th - Totem Arte Plugin 3.2.0 Changes since 3.1.3: * Fix stream extraction from the new Arte website * Reimplementation of the removed Totem.CellRenderVideo -> could be reverted * New and more efficient primary video feed source (JSON) -> Now required * Support for low quality streams -> could be reverted * Minor bug fixes and translation updates 2012 December 9th - Totem Arte Plugin 3.1.3 Changes since 3.1.2: * Fix compilation with Vala 0.18 and Totem 3.6.0 -> REVERTED, see debian/patches ----- The new package also includes the harden binary that is already in experimental and Ubuntu since many months. Here is the proposed debian/changelog: totem-plugin-arte (3.2.1-1~wheezy1) stable; urgency=low * New upstream release * Add a patch to build against Totem 3.0 (revert an upstream commit) * Harden the binary, fix 2 lintian warnings * Bump Debian Policy to 3.9.4 (no change needed) -- Nicolas Delvaux <cont...@nicolas-delvaux.org> Wed, 02 Oct 2013 00:20:15 +0200 Totem-plugin-arte is a leaf package and the current Wheezy version is unusable. IMHO, this looks like a very low risk upgrade. Regards, Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
