I don't know whether the source package would work as-is on Ubuntu, but I'd welcome feedback on that point before I set up a new pbuilder environment. If you could give it a try, and confirm there's no change needed besides rebuilding, I'll happily integrate Ubuntu into the process. If there *are* changes, on the other hand, I guess I'll need to add two new branches, official+ubuntu and superpatch+ubuntu (or someone will need to, anyway). I went on with my setup, and I think it's workable, so here are the relevant URLs: - bzr branches are at http://bzr.debian.org/~lolando/bzr/f-spot/$branch (so you can get them with "bzr get http://bzr.debian.org/~lolando/bzr/f-spot/debian/superpatch+sid/"; (or "bzr checkout --lightweight", if you don't intend to commit locally); - APT repository is at http://people.debian.org/~lolando/debian/experimental/ and includes the source package as well as the binary package. Just for reference, here's the current contents of my "superpatch" branch: ,----[ README.superpatch ] | This *unofficial* branch contains patches taken from the following | bugzilla.gnome.org bug reports: | | - 321596: Allow removing the files from their source after importing | them; | | - 508005: "Refresh query" button; | | - 339082: "Add current version as a new photo" menu item; | | - 505125: Rotate only current version of a picture; | | - 329581: Added new aspect ratio constraints; | | - 329174: Allow user to create new aspect ratio constraints; | | - 446131: Do not import hidden files; | | - 406505: Work around bug in libgdk-pixbuf in file import selection window. | | - 479225: Sort "Remove tag" list. | | This branch is meant for testing, and to allow easy access to a | patched F-Spot until these patches are merged in trunk and eventually | released in a stable version. `---- Please note that the last paragraph is especially true since my last take on bug #479225 makes F-Spot crash in some occasions (and I went to sleep last night before being able to debug that). > If it's easy to build RPMs, too, then by all means do that, too; I > don't know much about the RPMland equivalents to pbuilder. I have no idea about that. But the magic of bzr is such that someone could branch off the "superpatch" branch, concentrate on RPM packaging, and produce similar unofficial packages :-) Roland. -- Roland Mas Oshitemo damedara, hiite mina. -- Proverbe japonais _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
