Debian has a very old FreeImage release (3.10 -> November 19th, 2007) and patched to use the system libraries instead of his embedded copies. I don't have any problem on upload FreeImage to Debian but I can't spend time in mantain all his patches: http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/freeimage/3.10.0-4 Also, I don't think that those changes will be safe. I prefer keep working with an unpatched release of FreeImage. > I did take a look at the attached debdiff; however I had issues applying > without alot of hacking as the generated upstream tarball contains > Windows formatted files so the patch in the debdiff won't apply cleanly. > It would be great if that could be tidied up first; maybe using a bzr > branch might make that a little easier. I didn't have any issue applying the patch and as I said, 3.15.1 release with this debdiff builds fine in my Launchpad PPA: https://launchpad.net/~cosme/+archive/my- builds?field.series_filter=precise But if you want a bzr upload instead of a debdiff then it's done: https://code.launchpad.net/~cosme/ubuntu/precise/freeimage/freeimage-3.15.1 I upload only the packaging changes. I don't know if I should also upload the upstream source. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898845 Title: New upstream release: FreeImage 3.15.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeimage/+bug/898845/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
