Hi Matthias,

Please post a full copy of your message on the tracker thread, + your  
new info
and and patch files..
(+ whatever relevants comments abou substantial diffs with the latest  
files there)
I just reassigned the item (which I'll treat as your submission) to  
myself,
for absence of reaction of the previous assignee-maintainer.
Please also make sure, if not already done, that all files there  
carry your name as maintainer.

A side question in my mind is still why you need this disabling which  
I didn't; would be nice
to clarify.

The essential remaining questions are, as you mention, as to an  
upgrade strategy, which
is completely absent in the submission as it is.

For caca, I've no problem, there is only one dependent pkg (gst- 
plugins-good-0.10) besides
libxine itself, and it builds as well with the new libcaca as with  
the old one.  So, though I didn't
get yet an explicit approval  from its maintainer to rev-up and  
update deps, I hope I know
him sufficiently well to consider this as a tacit approval.
This will clear the way for libxine itself.

But still t is probably safer for the future to prepare caca in a way  
completely conformant with
fink's shlibs policy, so that in the future no upgrades have to be  
done to dependent pkgs
when updating caca.

For libxine itself, true that the main problem I noticed was with  
gxine (tried several versions_
upper bound (0.5.11 ?): to stay compatible with the "non-pangocairo  
branch"; though I had
the impression that the issue was that the configure script, when  
checking for xine's version,
got confused by the "." in the third item (with 1.1.11.1) _ since  
testing with [0-9]* or the like,
don't remember exactly_, and so would still have hoped that with  
1.1.12 this would be over ...
You seem to imply that not ...  Too bad then..

But anyway a clear upgrade strategy is still missing here, but  
shouldn't be too hard to get..

Pls redirect any replies rather to the thread
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/? 
func=detail&atid=414256&aid=1927452&group_id=17203
to keep information together ...

Jean-Francois
