gpsd on the way to 2.91; gps_poll non-blocking
Hi,
first I have to say sorry that the gpsd transition was a bit more rough than it
should have been, I indeed did not realize that so much changed on the library
that renaming the -dev package name to libgps1-dev would have made sense.
Luckily the transition was not too hard for most packages.
gaia: Will NMU tonight.
geoclue: needs a bit larger patch as there is some weird code in it. Working on
that.
kde*: fixed in svn, waiting for an upload afaik.
navit: patch provided by me, should be fixed soon.
s3d: fixed.
viking: fixed.
With gpsd 2.91 (and the svn snapshot I'll upload soon to fix a different bug)
gps_poll will *not* block any more. As this is a change programs will start to
rely on soon it might make sense to bump the -dev package now, but as the number
of rdeps is very limited it should be enough to use autotools and friends to
check for the right package version.
If you have any comments, wishes, suggestions... please let me know.
Cheers,
Bernd
