Bug#650601: Processed: fvwm: diff for NMU version 1:2.6.5.ds-4.1

[Gianfranco Costamagna <costamagnagianfranco@yahoo.it>]

Hi,

>Many thanks Gianfranco for the summary!


thanks to you for all the work, I just did a very little part!
>Regarding the packages requiring libpng-config, I proposed to the maintainers
>do another libng16 upload, so that that tool will be pulled in as depdenceny
>(Otherwise we'll have the soversion hardcoded again in some B-D; I'd like to
>avoid that.)


that would be the best move to me, and automagically fixing 4-5 bugs :)
>I'm continuing to rebuild packages on my server and will also NMU a few

I have troubles in doing automagically the check for FTBFS, adding your repo, handling
the package and doing the upload...

if you need help for them, just give me a list and I'll look at it :)
(I prefer to fix them once libpng16 goes in unstable).


BTW after my last mail I closed 4-5 bugs on that list, because the packages were building fine now.


>I think we are quite close to throw the switch...>Release-Team: Ready?


I hope so :)

cheers.
