Riccardo,Ah, you're right. I just needed that for the "-dev" package, which I need for building gretl.To clarify/summarise, are you suggesting that we upgrade src:glib-json from 1.0.2 → 1.0.4?Yes (and the dev-package too, of course)I think there is some confusion here or something at least worth clarifying so we are sure we are talking about the same thing - when a package is updated/uploaded in Debian, the entire source package is updated. In other words, one can't just update the -dev package anyway.
Yes, I'm aware of that.
Why don't we just cherry-pick the aforementioned patch and apply it to 1.0.2? :)You mean, in my local system?No, I mean apply this patch to an updated version of 1.0.2 and upload that to jessie rather than introduce all the other changes that make up the diff between this version and 1.0.4.
I'm a bit reluctant to do this, as I've never done this before and I'd probably spend a long time doing something that would need to be revised by somebody competent anyway. Sorry.
(Does this issue have a bug in the Debian BTS?)
Hm, I don't think so. Should I file a bug report? ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti@univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
