Bug Description

Please merge lmms 0.4.7-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

    the includes, fixes FTBFS

--DROPPED: This package doesnt exist in debian build
lmms (0.4.5-0ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low
  * Changed lmms-vst to a suggests (LP: #507316)

Is there any reason why ubuntu maintains its own version of lmms (0.4.5-0ubuntu4) and doesnt use debians? If there isnt it might be a good idea to use it

If you're going to upgrade to a recent version (what I - as the LMMS main developer - would strongly recommend), please upgrade to 0.4.8 (even if the bug report is about 0.4.7) as this version again fixes lots of bugs.

Please have a look at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmms/files/lmms/releasenotes/lmms-0.4.6.txt
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmms/files/lmms/releasenotes/lmms-0.4.7.txt
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmms/files/lmms/releasenotes/lmms-0.4.8.txt

in order to convince yourself, how many severe bugs (especially crashes) were fixed!

That would also require someone to package the new release, since it's not in Debian yet. We could consider that, but we'd need someone to do the work.

*lmms-0.4.7*
SevenMachines, I added yoru PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/release+1/+packages) and looked at testing lmms-0.4.7 on an updated maverick-beta-i386 machine. I stopped the installation because it was trying to pull in the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. We would not want to ship this package in a default Ubuntu Studio installation.

Do you know from where this dependencies is being pulled?

I have a screen shot of all the dependencies involved if that would be helpful. Also, I would be happy to provide any further testing or answer any questions required.

*lmms-0.4.8*
I am evaluating if it might be possible to package this in time for maverick but I have considerable doubts.

As lmms-0.4.8 provides many bug fixes it would be our first consideration. However, I would prefer if a clean version lmms-0.4.7 were to be available if lmms-0.4.8 could not be provided in time.

Thank you to all involved.

The ttf-mscorefonts-installer package probably comes from lmms-vst -> wine -> ttf-mscorefonts-installer. The problem is that Debian does not separate the VST support libraries into an own package (lmms-vst) and thus the lmms package itself depends on wine (which obviously is not desired).

Would be nice if you could re-introduce lmms-vst & friends (like in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~tobydox/+archive/lmms/+packages). I'll package 0.4.8 in my PPA soon.

The separation of packages so that wine isnt installed by default would certainly be good, but reducing the delta and so the workload with debian is important too. If this can be done in debian and ubuntu synced with that then that would probably be the ideal

Given where both Ubuntu and Debian are in their release cycles, don't wait on Debian. We should push the changes back to Debian after Squeeze is released.

Unsubscribing the release team. This should be addresses as a normal merge in Natty.

Could you please include the changelog entry of the version 0.4.5-0ubuntu5 too? Also, could you please explain in the package changelog the reason to drop the changes that you dropped?

Unsubscribing "ubuntu-sponsors" for now, please resubscribe "ubuntu-sponsors" when the new debdiff will be ready to review. Thanks.

I forgot, and the package has to go for "natty" and not "maverick".

I'd like to see lmms enters natty and it seems suitable for a sync.
Any objection?

This bug was fixed in the package lmms - 0.4.7-2ubuntu1

---------------
lmms (0.4.7-2ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Re-sync with Debian (LP: #606533):
    - Replace build-dep on libwine-dev with libwine-dev-unstable to build
      against the newer Wine.
