Please update mplinuxman to 1.5 version

I'm working on it.

Cheers!

Hi,

  I don't know if anoyone is working on it. I made a package for version 1.5. Attached is the corresponding debdiff.

Would you please indicate me if this package is correct, and in case this is correct, what has to be done to upload this package?

Best regards.

A few comments:
 - in debian/changelog please update 'natty' to 'oneiric' and please remove the empty line in there as well
 - it seems like no binaries are installed in the package - did you try to build and install the new package?

Daniel,

    you are right about both comments.

I have made a mistake when modifying the makefile for this package. Even though I have built the package, i did not check what the package installed. I will have to be much more careful in the future about testing packages, to avoid this huge errors.

Let me make the necessary changes, and i will re-submit this patch.

Thanks for your time and patience with this newbie.... :)

Best regards,

Don't worry. Thanks a lot for working on it!

Hi,

   I have made the abovementioned changes to the package, and yet i am having problems buildind the package in oneiric under gcc-4.6. This issue is related to (LP: #770855).

In the meantime, i have put together a PPA package for natty, that does build correctly. If anyone need to use it, i give you the ppa source:

 http://ppa.launchpad.net/scarneiro/ppa/ubuntu

When i can solve the issue i am having, i will upload the patch.

I have corrected the problem I was having in building the package in gcc-4.6. Attached is a debdiff of the updated package.

Please review theses changes and let me know anything that needs to be corrected for these to be ok. It is one of my first contributions and I need your comments in order to improve my packaging skills.

Best regards,

Sebastian.

Hello Sebastian,
There was one more upload of mplinuxman (1.4-0ubuntu3) during the Oneiric release cycle, so I merged your changes with it.
There was a couple of problems with debian/rules: it didn't call dh_shlibdeps (so the package didn't have necessary binary dependencies) and dh_strip (so the binaries weren't stripped). I solved both by switching to debhelper7-style debian/rules file.
I added some more patches to solve old problems with this package (such as using a bundled copy of a library).
Thank you for your work on this bug!

This bug was fixed in the package mplinuxman - 1.5-0ubuntu1
