It all depends how many people help with the rebuild... The last few rebuilds have been done by only two or three people. We could get through most of this in a day or two if people helped out.

It seems the most important packages are rebuild now. What do you guys think to merge the jpng repo into testing now? This way we might speed up the process and the TUs could start building packages for community-testing.
Sounds fine. It looks like less patching is needed for libpng that was initially thought.
A big cheer to all those who have helped out with the rebuild so far (Andrea, Eric, Ionut, Jan and Pierre). I have not been any help due to work commitments. A quick count shows there are still 99 packages left to be rebuilt for [extra] so there is plenty of scope for the rest of us to lend a hand.

i'll send a warning now and in the morning i'll move them all. btw there is a script that can be used to moved all packages or i have to use db-move?

Just a heads up. I had to fix the imlib, imlib2 and imagemagick packages that were initially put in the jpng repo. There was undefined symbols in the libraries. I believe it only affects when you try to link the library. So packages that were successfully built against the broken libs are probably OK. I haven't tested though.
BTW, when trying to rebuild xfig and transfig, I'm getting this error:
dev/libtransfig.a(readpng.o): In function `read_png': readpng.c:(.text+0x6a2): undefined reference to `png_set_dither' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [fig2dev] Error 1
I didn't find any mention about png_set_dither in the libpng 1.4.0 docs. Did another rebuilder encountered this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? For the time being, I'll skip it.
I found out the problem. In libpng 1.4.0, PNG_READ_DITHER_SUPPORTED is turned off by default. It seems that it wasn't working quite right and it had low usage:
Are there any objections in enabling it?

FYI: don't rebuild the openoffice packages. Andy told me that there will be new releases next week and those will be built against the libpng/jpeg in testing.
