Hi maintainers of (build)rdeps of packages generated from protobuf (i.e. protobuf-c, libcompizconfig),
There's a new upstream version accompanied by packaging changes that maybe are of interest to you. Assuming I don't get bad feedback from you, I'm going to ask my sponsor to upload sometimes soon (but NEW has to cleared so…). First, the new upstream version, 2.1.0, changes code such that the end-user always needs to link against pthread. libprotobufX/libprotocX themselves don't link (IMHO it's a bug in ACX_PTHREAD as used by upstream and as available in autoconf-archive), but upstream doesn't think this is a problem and that end-users should just link themselves -lpthread (see http://groups.google.com/group/protobuf/browse_thread/thread/6e1a2f6cfbdcdd66). After adding this, I managed to get the compilation of protobuf-c halfway through, but it still fails, so maybe the new version has more changes and the sources of protobuf-c need adjustement. I managed to compile libcompizconfig without problems, but I didn't know how to test it, so I don't know if it really works. With the upstream version there are also some packaging changes, i.e. splitting of the libprotocX into its own package (and the same for the protoc headers into libprotoc-dev), see for rationale http://bugs.debian.org/524087. Since both protobuf-c and libcompizconfig build-depend on protobuf-compiler, which in turn depends on these new libraries, there shouldn't be trouble here. The new packages are available, if anyone is interested, at: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/protobuf - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/protobuf/protobuf_2.1.0-1.dsc thanks, and sorry for any mistakes in packaging, iustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
