Bug#860496: RFS: drgeo/1.1.0-10.3 [NMU, RC]



drgeo is not in jessie and won't be in stretch, so there is no need to
hurry with patching this upstream version from 2005.

https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/drgeo/log/
This looks very dead.

#736535 mentions an active fork (that seems to be quite different).

Yes, it use the pharo framework (smalltalk) now but it's released as
a vm snapshot so harder to package...

What drgeo needs is an active maintainer who packages code that is
also maintained upstream.

Trying to revive 2005 code after it has already missed two Debian
releases doesn't make much sense.

Indeed, this package fill the gap while we are waiting for the newer version to be packaged.

do you really need to patch:
Makefile.in.in

I'm afraid so, otherwise intltoolize gives an error.

and add a new config.rpath file?

No indeed, I added gettext as a dependency and I'm copy the file before the build instead.

also, please drop the last part of the patch:

Done.

The new version is here:
