Hi, I'm from the projectM upstream team. We'd like to help get projectM 4.x into Debian and have prepared the packaging.
Current situation: - Debian has projectm 3.1.12 - Upstream released 4.1.6 with a complete API rewrite (C++ -> C) - SONAME bump: libprojectm3 -> libprojectm4 This requires two new packages before projectM 4.x can be uploaded: 1. projectm-eval (v1.0.6) - expression evaluation library - MIT licensed, minimal deps (just cmake) - Static library only - ITP to be filed 2. projectm-presets - preset collection (replaces projectm-data) - ~9800 Milkdrop presets - Arch: all (data only) - ITP to be filed The main projectm package changes: - libprojectm4 (new SONAME) - libprojectm-playlist4 (new optional library) - Drops projectm-jack, projectm-pulseaudio, projectm-sdl (frontends now in separate upstream repos) Reverse dependencies: - qmmp-plugin-projectm needs updating for v4 API We have test-built all packages locally. The packaging is available at: https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/packaging-debian Would the team be interested in sponsoring these uploads? We're happy to do whatever prep work is needed.
