Respectfully disagreed. I had a quick look into porting effort back than and it turned out it would take way more time than I'm willing to spend on ancient packages I don't care about. Maintenance-effort-wise I'd say either of: * drop ancient packages * keep ancient versions of dependencies is the way to go. With patches in place we have to maintain them with every new libupnp release. _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
