Bug Description

Please backport labyrinth 0.6-0ubuntu2 (universe) from raring to precise, quantal.

Reason for the backport:
========================

Labyrinth is a user facing application that no other package depends on. I'd like to
make the improvements in 0.6 available to a larger pool of users.

I have a recipe build for development versions, using the same packaging information
as is used for 0.6 in Ubuntu. This builds on precise and quantal, and I'm using those
packages myself, so I'm confident that it works.

https://launchpad.net/~takluyver/+archive/labyrinth-dev

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s raring -d precise labyrinth
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s raring -d quantal labyrinth

* precise:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] labyrinth installs cleanly and runs
* quantal:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] labyrinth installs cleanly and runs

No reverse dependencies

Thanks for the request. It sounds fine in principle.

You say you've used the recipe builds, but have you tested the actual
backport that we'll be performing? That's the R package recompiled on
P/Q.

Cheers,

Both the builds have succeeded. I've confirmed that it installs and runs OK on precise. I can't test on quantal until Monday, but I can't see any reason that it wouldn't work.

And I can confirm that it installs and runs correctly in Quantal. I think that's everything, please let me know if I need to do anything else.

Ping @laney - I've tested the actual backported packages on P & Q, and they seemed fine. Anything else I need to do? Thanks!

Oh yes, sorry! I've been bad with keeping up with the backports project lately :-/

However, your testing is fine so I'll upload this now. :-)
