Please merge mnemosyne (universe) 1.0.1.1-1 from Debian unstable (main)

To the MOTU:

Mnemosyne version 1.0.1 includes various import fixes; Czech, Chinese, and French translations; and several default options changes. (Version 1.0.1.1 reverted one of the options changes which was unstable on Windows.) To me, these updates, especially the import fixes, warrant updating Ubuntu's version and releasing it in the hardy-updates (possibly hardy-backports) repositories.

If I knew how to perform the packaging, I would do it myself. The Packaging Guide <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide> is some help, but many aspects of packaging are not covered, e.g. determining necessary distribution-specific patches on a random package you haven't supported before.

Best,
Jonathan T.

Looking at the 1.0.1 changelog, it doesn't sound reasonable for hardy-updates. We can push it in hardy-backports though, but the update needs to be done in Intrepid first.

Please sponsor the attached debdiff for the mnemosyne merge.

It builds fine in an Intrepid pbuilder and installs/runs in an Intrepid VM.

declined for intrepid, as there's no use for nominations for intrepid yet.

few comments to the debdiff:
- build-depends-indep: this is unnecessary, it will build fine w.o. that change, please drop. (side note: debian-policy doesn't match what's really going on on the debian/ubuntu buildd's in this regard, so having a build-depends is usually the better option, cf. bug #238141).
- manpage: there is unnecessary reformatting in the manpage

others than that, I'm happy with the debdiff, but please first report
- fixes to manpage
- fixes to desktop file

to Debian BTS.

unsubscribing ubuntu-universe-sponsors, please resubscribe once you've addressed the issues, thanks.

Thanks for the review Stefan.

I have reported the manpage bug to Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489573
The desktop file bug I reported upstream: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2011876&group_id=159201&atid=810890 (fixed in upstream svn 2 hours later...)

Attached is the updated debdiff, without the build-depends-indep change and manpage reformatting.

This bug was fixed in the package mnemosyne - 1.0.1.1-1ubuntu1
