Some issues:- It's an old version, latest is 5.0. Do you intend to update this package?
Yes; I'm about halfway through doing so. As you might have noticed, the annoying bit is extracting a bunch of embedded code copies - zlib, snappy, png.
I hit my buildsystem-madness threshold and then got busy with other things. I'll see if I can finish this off tonight.
- You're using pristine-tar, but the upstream version in debian/changelog doesnot match any of the tarballs in the repository.- Why use pristine-tar when upstream does not provide any tarballs at all?
So people can easily build packages requiring Debian-only updates given only the git packaging branch, rather than the packaging branch plus downloading the tarball from the Debian archives.
