If anyone wants to seriously work on this, please come to #debian-cli on irc.oftc.net and work with the CLI libraries team there. As our snapshot is from 2009, I don't know how possible it would be to extract patches from git which fix the 2.10 compatibility issues, but people are more than welcome to try and I'll happily sponsor any working patches.
Having said that, I guess it would be easier to just package a new snapshot, but the main problem there is that the upstream git repository is not DFSG-free; for Debian and Ubuntu we need to remove all precompiled .dll/.exe/.whateverelse files and make sure that everything is built from source when the package is built. That's the main reason why it's not been fixed yet: nobody has stepped up to do this cleaning work. There's a get-orig-source target in the debian/rules file which would be a good starting point but it needs a little bit of freshening up. The new snapshot route would likely not be appropriate for O, but we could consider putting it into backports. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831402 Title: dlr-languages version 20090805+git.e6b28d27+dfsg-3 failed to build in oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dlr-languages/+bug/831402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
