Bug Description

libgphoto 2.4.10 was released: http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/news/

Unfortunately we completely missed this during the Maverick development cycle, unlike 2.4.8 during the Lucid development cycle - see bug #519811.

Is there any chance of an SRU for Maverick? If not, I guess we should focus on getting this version into Natty.

This version includes new camera ID's, drivers for a couple of picture frames, bug fixes and changes to the generated UDEV rules - see the above link for full details.

This might also fix bug #569419.

Is there by any chance a ppa for this? If not, do I have to expect to break any packages if I compile it myself?

I don't have the skills to make a PPA, but I'm hoping someone will.

libgphoto2 (2.4.10.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Cyril Brulebois ]
  * New upstream release.
  * Drop 80_kfreebsd patch, merged upstream.
  * Fix lintian warnings:
     - debian/libgphoto2-2.postrm: s{/bin/true}{true}.
     - debian/libgphoto2-2.README.Debian: fix typo.
  * Move to dh:
     - Bump debian/compat to 7.
     - Bump debhelper version in B-D to >= 7.0.50 to use overrides.
     - Use a minimal-like debian/rules and overrides to perform the
       various needed tweaks, using the quilt sequence to have patches
       applied/unapplied when appropriate.
     - Switch from dh_movefiles to dh_install.
     - Move moving docs from /u/s/d/libgphoto2{,_port} to the proper
       locations to .install files.
     - Remove all special-cases in the clean rules, the upstream one does
       its job properly.
     - Get rid of the attempt at detecting files that are installed
       nowhere, using the --list-failing dh_install option instead.
     - Following the move to dh, adapt Martin's udev patch using an
       override_dh_installudev rule, but only on Linux architectures for
       now, needed tweaks for other platforms should follow in next
       revisions.

  [ Gürkan Sengün ]
  * Add myself to uploaders.
  * Bump standards version to 3.9.1.
  * Switch to source format 3.0, drop quilt from control and rules.
  * Drop patches:
    - 10_disable_cache (does not apply anymore)
    - 45_increase_canon_timeout (upstream has increased it from 150 to 500)

  [ David Paleino ]
  * debian/rules:
    - fix typo (s,deibian,debian,)
    - simplify override_dh_auto_configure
    - simplify override_dh_gencontrol
  * Added symbols files
  * Drop 01_udev_rules_136, already in upstream sources
  * Remove type-handling dependency in debian/control, use architecture
    wildcards, as defined in Policy. Thanks to Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
    (Closes: #587873)
  * Drop duplicate Section fields in binary stanzas
  * Added ${misc:Depends} where needed
  * Use Breaks instead of versioned Conflicts
  * Added doc-base registration for API docs in libgphoto2-2-dev

I'm attaching a debdiff from Debian's 2.4.10.1-2 to 2.4.10.1-2ubuntu1.

I also made a debdiff from the old Ubuntu version (2.4.8-0ubuntu2) to this new one, but it's ~5M, and I don't think it's appropriate to attach it here. I have it available upon request, though.

Thank you,
David

You did the right thinks. Sponsors want Debian -> Ubuntu debdiffs for merges.

Benjamin: not at all. For example Robert Ancell and Thierry Carrez want to show also debdiff ubuntu -> ubuntu debdiff. :)

---------------
libgphoto2 (2.4.10.1-2ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian experimental, remaining changes (LP: #657324):
    - Disabled graphviz from the Build-Dependencies on ARM to prevent
      documentation graphs from building. This prevents an FTBFS caused
      by the buildds choking on running dot. (LP: #567422)
