[Fink-devel] Updating freetype2

[Martin Costabel]

I have been using the freetype2-2.1.9-1 package from neeri's exp dir for 
quite some time without problems. For all my purposes it was backward 
compatible with 2.1.3 (i.e. things compiled with the old library 
continue to run with the new one, and everything builds against the new 
version without problem).

Is there any objection against upgrading the freetype2 package to this 
version?

I have a reason for some urgency: A long-awaited new version of scribus 
came out today, and it gives me bus errors (crash inside libfreetype) 
when freetype2-2.1.3 is installed, but none when freetype2-2.1.9 is 
installed.

These crashes have been observed by others with the present prerelease 
version of scribus, and I have seen them occasionally myself, but now 
with the new "stable" version of scribus, the crash is systematic. So I 
cannot release the Fink package for scribus-1.2.1 unless freetype2 is 
updated.
