I have a bad habit of doing far too big chunks of work offline, and have now pushed my preliminary attempt at packaging 9.18: It fails to build, apparently due to some libtiff linkage not properly handling the use of shared libraries which I am enforcing by stripping the convenience code copies upstream used to ship. You are more than welcome to try help figure out how to patch the build routines to work - and also to check if you can spot other details I have missed in my preparations. If interested, add your name as uploader in debian/control¹ :-) Also, please subscribe to our mailinglist if you haven't already, so I can drop you as cc in this conversation :-) - Jonas ¹ Either edit debian/control directly and leave it to me or others to update CDBS files, or - if you are fine working with CDBS - edit the debian/control.in.in file and refresh with DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1. See debian/README.source for more details. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
