Re: Bug#747703: bpo60 vlc should not pull samba4 from bpo too
Version: 2.1.2-2~bpo70+3
I forgot that bts does not quite work for bpo. Closing the
bugreport now.

It looks like just adding
SMBCLIENT_CFLAGS=" " SMBCLIENT_LIBS=-lsmbclient
environment variables to ./configure invocation fixes this issue.
(SMBCLIENT_CFLAGS should not be empty or else it won't be recognized).

http://www.corpit.ru/debian/tls/vlc/vlc_2.1.2-2~bpo70+3.debdiff
I can just upload it now.
+1 from me for this sane patch. Please go ahead and upload 2.1.4-1~pbo70
Okay, thank you for the review. I uploaded a previos backport
(2.1.2-2), which is the one I've shown below, not the one which
is currently in unstable. This is because it hasn't migrated to
testing yet, so can't really be uploaded to bpo right now. I can
try to backport 2.1.4 too, once it enters testing.
+1 with your patch. Do you want to become a co-maintainer of vlc?
Um.
I'm not really into multimedia world. I don't understnd much there,
don't know what various codecs are, how it all work, -- it is all
like foreign language for me. So I'm afraid vlc just isn't my area.
I can fix simple packaging stuff from time to time, but that's
about it. And as usual, I don't have time to maintain my own
packages properly already... :(
Even with this backport (for which I forgot to add myself to
Uploaders, which I usually do when backporting), -- I'm nervous
because if anything goes wrong I most likely wont be able to
do anything.
I've hit this whole mess just because I come across a bug in vlc
in wheezy (it just crashes on some of my media files, at startup),
so, with vlc backport being available, I tried it, and discovered
that it works fine with my files. But at the same time, I need
to be able to run old samba, which doesn't quite work with the
bpo version of vlc due to this very bug(report). It just happened
that this issue has actually nothing to do with actual vlc code,
just the configure test which is problematic, and I can deal with
autoconf... ;)
Thank you!
