upgrade to latest version (0.1+svn5912)

The currently packaged version 4880 is 64 weeks old. Packaging the latest in SVN will improve 64-bit compatability.

I have taken over the maintainer role from Harald Welte and made a first release of dfu-util. Works fine on my 64bit machines here.

You can find it now here: http://dfu-util.gnumonks.org/ where it lives inside a new git repo instead deeply inside the Openmoko SVN.

If you run into any packaging problems which I should fix on the upstream side please let me know.

Thanks! Can you push that new package downstream to the Ubuntu/Debian package maintainer?

It seems to me to Uwe maintains it in Ubuntu as well as in Debian. I wrote him a mail already letting him know about the maintainership change and the new release.

Lets hope he finds soem time to update the packge and sync it between debian and ubuntu.

This bug was fixed in the package dfu-util - 0.3-1
