Re: interesting libfreetype6 bug
Chuck asked me for a recipe to apply the patch. I'm no Debian expert,
but here is the hack I was using to patch libfreetype (from memory,
hopefully without too many errors):
$ apt-get source libfreetype6
# apt-get build-dep libfreetype6
$ cd freetype-2.1.7
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
*** hit Ctrl-C once compilation starts ***
$ touch build-stamp
$ cd freetype-2.1.7
$ patch -p1 < fix.diff
$ cd ..
$ fakeroot debian/rules binary
# dpkg -i ../libfreetype6_2.1.7-2.1_ia64.deb
Bdale is probably getting fits over abusing dpkg like this... ;-)
I'm sure someone else can suggest a cleaner & more reliable method.
