libpng and the autobuilders
Hi all,
My package of vegastrike is stuck in the autobuilders. The problem lies
in its build-dep on libpng-dev. It needs to use version 3 of the lib.
I read all of the recent discussions on -devel about this issue but seem
to have missed the bottom line. How do I remedy this?
Do I just email the admins asking them to install it? or is it more
complicated because of the complicated history of libpng?
thanks,
-m
