Bug#494659: Upstream version 2.8.6 must not be distributed (use 2.8.6b or 2.8.7 instead)

2008-08-11 Thread absurd 
Package: hplip
Version: 2.8.6-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I just noted on the hp page

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/release_notes.html

that release 2.8.6 was accidential, quote:

HPLIP 2.8.6 prematurely released code that was not intended for
release. Release 2.8.6b replaces 2.8.6 and removes that code. There is
no change in intended functionality as described in the release notes.
We do not recommend using release 2.8.6 and ask that release 2.8.6 not
be redistributed.

There is no hint in the changelog that you actually use 2.8.6b, so I think
it is important (for lenny) to replace upstream by 2.8.6b or 2.8.7.

Thanks,

Stephan

the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper 
dependencies are installed to  
successfully compile HPLIP. 


2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro 
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball 
has the proper   
dependencies installed to successfully run.

Bug#297741: libglib2.0-dev: Libtool library files (*.la) missing static archive

2005-03-02 Thread absurd 
Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.6.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

this breaks static linking using -all-static with libtool in
autotool Makefiles; all glib libraries will be converted by libtool
into the explicit *so file names, which results in a non-usable
binary.

I.e., for example for /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la, the following change
will fix libtool's linking with -all-static:

# root? diff -u libgthread-2.0.la.orig libgthread-2.0.la
--- libgthread-2.0.la.orig  2005-02-11 13:04:05.0 +
+++ libgthread-2.0.la   2005-02-11 13:03:02.0 +
@@ -11,7 +11,7 @@
 library_names='libgthread-2.0.so.0.600.1 libgthread-2.0.so.0
 libgthread-2.0.so'

 # The name of the static archive.
-old_library=''
+old_library='libgthread-2.0.a'

 # Libraries that this one depends upon.
 dependency_libs=' -lpthread /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la'

At least some former versions seemed to work fine, afaik.

Thanks,

Stephan
