** Summary changed: - Clutter libraries need update to v0.6 (from 0.4) + Multiple clutter syncs from Debian unstable
** Description changed: Binary package hint: libclutter-0.4 - Proposed changes: This is a bug created for Feature Freeze Exception, to request that the clutter libraries be updated from v0.2 to v0.4. These include: - clutter ( 0.4.2 already in gutsy. 0.6 requested) - clutter-gst ( 0.4.0 already in gutsy, 0.6.1 requested) - clutter-gtk ( 0.4.0 already in gutsy, 0.6.0 requested) - clutter-cairo ( 0.4.0 already in gutsy, 0.6.0 requested) - pyclutter ( 0.4.2 already in gutsy, 0.6.0 requested) - clutter-perl ( 0.4.1 already in gutsy, 0.6.0.0 requested) - The new versions of these projects are already in the debian unstable repository: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=clutter+0.6&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all + Proposed changes: This is a bug created for Feature Freeze Exception, to request that the clutter libraries be updated from v0.4 to v0.6. These include: + clutter ( 0.4.2-1 already in gutsy. 0.6.0-2 in Debian unstable) + clutter-gst ( 0.4.0-2 already in gutsy, 0.6.1-1 in Debian unstable) + clutter-gtk ( 0.4.0-1 already in gutsy, 0.6.0-2 in Debian unstable) + clutter-cairo ( 0.4.0 already in gutsy, 0.6.0-1 in Debian unstable) + pyclutter ( 0.4.2-1 already in gutsy, 0.6.0-1 in Debian unstable) + clutter-perl ( 0.4.1-2 already in gutsy, 0.6.0.0-1 in Debian unstable) + + The new versions of these projects are already in the Debian unstable + repository: + + http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&searchon=names&keywords=clutter Potential impact on the distribution: The only other package that depends on clutter-0.4 is moblin-clutter-home, however I am the author of that and can update it to depend on 0.6 to coincide with the update of licclutter. A rationale for the exception / benefit of the change: The ubuntu-mobile currently makes use of libclutter-0.6 in existing and under-development projects. The inability to use the latest Clutter library will mean many compromises to what can be achieved, especially on touch-screen based systems, as it brings with it many improvements to the event model. An advantage to having Clutter 0.6 is that we can show potential customers what can be achieved with Ubuntu Mobile, with things like touch-based UI's, OpenGL shader support, scriptable UI's etc. The desktop team has also expressed interest in using clutter for future projects, and commentated on the benefits of being able to develop hardy+1 applications on a stable hardy platform. It will also make it much easier for users to test out these new applications. The upgraded clutter includes better Gtk integration, which will be essential for the desktop applications.

I could not debug it due to my inexperience with packaging and/or perl, so if someone else could give it a go, that would be great) -- Multiple clutter syncs from Debian unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
