I don't think I registered before unless it was in connection with the Multimedia Team.
Let me read up on the procedure then I will push my Dream stuff up. It may take me a few days. I suppose someone will then need to merge. Then later a sponsor.
Here is a summary on Dream as best I know. I worked it locally mostly following the Debmake/Debuild procedure 'Guide for Debian Maintainers' M262019. The Debian and Docs directories are complete (with lintian) barring last minute tweaking. I believe src includes commits thru 1339, which best I can tell is vital to support the the new codec and maybe other problems. Last I checked SourceForge there has been no activity since 1339 and February.
Anyway, during 'Debuild' object files are generated but compilation fatally stops with file GUI-QT/EvaluationDlg.cpp (I will include some screenshots). The compiler declares this an illegal cast (this in old code dating to 2000. Maybe the compiler is getting stricter?) I would guess this issue is something like trying to make a positive real into an integer. But trying to debug and patch C+ code like this is getting over my head and I would like to solicit input from someone who KNOWS what they are doing. And there are likely to be more of these before it links.
The new codec 'libfdk-aac-dev 2.0.1' is currently in Sid. I have an RTL dongle here that I will use for on air testing if we succeed in producing a binary. If we get that far we can then decide if Dream is stable enough for Debian. I invite others to test and give their results too.
