[Edgy UVF exception request] vlc_0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-1ubuntu1

A debdiff of the source packages is attached. Warning: The debdiff is 1.8 MB bzip2ed and 15 MB uncompressed. This is due to all the backported fixes and translations (two upstream snapshots worth) in two dpatches.

cleanly installed and tested crimsuns debs on amd64 with no regressions, looks like its good to go

I can confirm that this installs cleanly on a updated edgy amd64 box. It runs with all the media clips that I threw at it: mpeg2/ac3, mpeg2/mpeg2, xvid/ac3.

Although the changes are quite big and I'd have preferred to get them in earlier, my gut feeling is that it's the best we can do - thanks for your work on that.

Andrew, Reinhard, Sebastian?

yes, the changes are rather big, but I've tracked the bugflow regarding vlc the last weeks, and I can say that crimsun did an awesome job with triaging and fixing bugs! I'm confident that his version on vlc shoud go to edgy. Go for it!

 .
   * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining Ubuntu changes:
     - debian/control: Don't build-depend on libtwolame-dev, a newer

       does not have them),
     - debian/patches/001_1008snap.{fixes,translations}.diff: Remove,
       this is a new upstream version, fixes FTBFS on translations,
     - debian/rules: Use Ubuntu-specific configure options (firefox).
   * New upstream snapshot fixes wxvlc not stopping when 'close
     button' is clicked (Closes Ubuntu: #54630).
   * New upstream snapshot has more robust x264 support
     (Closes: Ubuntu #62217).
   * Segfault when using HTTP interface was fixed in

 .
