flac_1.2.1-3

2010-08-09 Thread Fabian Greffrath 

Dear Release Team,

the pkg-multimedia team has just uploaded a revised flac_1.2.1-3 
package to unstable. This packages contains fixes for two bugs 
(#579025 and #585518) which unfortunately required an autoreconf of 
the build system. The autoreconf result is applied by means of a 
patch, which makes the interdiff quite huge and is the reasons why I 
haven't attached it to this mail.


How would you like me to proceed convincing you to let this package 
pass through to testing? In order to check the changes step by step, 
you may want to check out the packaging GIT repository:

Best regards,
Fabian

#585518 appears to be a wishlist change to support an unofficial port,
which wouldn't qualify for an exception on its own.

I'm ambivalent about #579025.  The bug log indicates that it doesn't
actually affect any packages in the archive, as it only occurs when the
install prefix is not overriden; it could break things for people
compiling local flac-using applications.  By your own determination
though, it's only a normal bug.

The log for #579025 also suggests that fixing it would require
rebuilding reverse dependencies; is that the case?

Regards,

Adam
