I think debhelper 7 might be a "false" dependency. I replaced it by 6 and gnuplot 4.2.4 built fine. That is, I had to do another adjustment. The 3-year-old libedit in Hardy does not have the remove_history function. The use of remove_history was already ifdef'd so the code change is minimal, I refreshed the 03_use_libedit.diff so the debdiff is longer though. The only consequence of this change is that duplicate entries in the command history are not removed. Test builds are in my PPA.
What worries me more is a regression in functionality in this newer upstream version: I can no longer zoom in on a graph by right-clicking. ** Attachment added: "debdiff of my PPA version" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20201873/gnuplot_4.2.4-4%7Etormod2.debdiff -- Backport GnuPlot 4.2.3 to Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
