To try to help getting a new version into Debian, I created a git repository for the package and made it available as <URL: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/libmpeg3.git;a=summary >. I fetched old upstream tarballs from version 1.5.0 to version 1.8, and debian versions from version 1.5.4-4 to version 1.5.4-5.1, and imported these using git-import-orig and git-import-dsc. I've tried my best to keep the fixes and changes that was already present in versoin 1.5.4-5.1. This is the changelog for the source in git. What should we do now? NMU? Handover? You do an upload based on the git version? I'll do an NMU if I do not hear anything. libmpeg3 (1.8-0.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Update to debhelper 9 support. * Move source patches to debian/patches/ and package format to 3.0 (quilt). * Update upstream source to version 1.8 (Closes: #430770). - Split relevant parts of the patch used in 1.5.4-5.1 info new patches alpha-largefile.patch and debian-build-rules.patch - Drop patches to fix bugs #287422 and #729275, as these problems are fixed differently upstream. - Change shared library major number from 1 to 2, as the new library have a new API and ABI. - No longer have typo in Makefile (Closes: #374504). * Add patch prototype-free.patch to make sure stdlib.h is included before free() is used. * Change encoding of debian/copyright to UTF-8. * Update standards-version from 3.6.2.2 to 3.9.5. * Add missing dependency on ${misc:Depends}. Thank you lintian. * Adjust copyright file to document upstream copyright 2003-2008. * Change debian/rules to use dh_prep instead of the obsolete dh_clean -k. Thank you, lintian. * Enable hardening flags during build and linking. * New patch fix-format-security-error.patch to make code buildable with hardening enabled. * Add homepage URL to control file (Closes: #749469). * Reorder shared library linking rule to work with the --as-needed linker flag (Closes: #633333).
