Hi all,
My gpm package is out-of-date and the new version has a soname bump. I'll do the rebuilds, at least for x86_64. If someone has time and would be willing to do the i686 packages, let me know. That'll save me some work. Otherwise, I'll build them after the x86_64 ones. The following packages have gpm as a depends (except gstreamer0.10-good-plugins) and will be rebuilt:
aalib brltty - Current package is out-of-date and new version has soname bump. Only orca depends on it so I could update it and rebuild orca. Jan: what do you think? Or would it be better to just rebuild brltty?
Updating it would be nice, it's on my list of outdated packages for a long while already. I don't know if a rebuild is required: brlapi.so is dlopened from the python module included in orca. I don't know why they bumped .soname, but if updating brltty breaks the braille module in orca, it will still be broken after a rebuild anyways.
OK, I'll look into it after I'm done with the i686 rebuilds.
I've updated the brltty in testing. Orca is still running fine as far as I can tell.
elinks fte gstreamer0.10-good-plugins jed lde links mc - I need a mc directory in the 'other' directory on the ftp server to put a patch (FS#9913). Eliott is aware of that but if another admin has time...
Didn't we all have permission to create directories in /other/? I never use sudo to do so.
You are right. I was able to create the directory.
So far no complaints (no positive feedback either) for any of this stuff. I'll keep it in testing for another week before starting the signoff just to be safe.
I run testing on my system at home, and haven't noticed any breakage, not that I make heavy use of gpm stuff - looking at the list of 'required by' on the web interface, I only use vim and screen at all.
