Please sync 1.6.0.1 with debianSync request.

ACK.

This should be done before Hardy is out.

Probably too late. Hardy is already released.

If there are specific important bugs to fix for Hardy we can do a Stable Release Update (SRU) but I think there are way too many changes to just sync from Debian for Hardy.

(argh ... missed to subscribe to this bug.)

Yes, labplot 1.6.0 fixes some important bugs I ran as I still ran debian/sid.

See here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409551
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409490

I think this is rather nasty as I ran into the first one (which is far more annoying) quite often.
And if you don't save all the time, some of your work might be gone then :(

Hi again,

I tried compiling 1.6.0 on Ubuntu hardy (and updating some libraries to fulfill the build-deps), but it explodes.
Guess it won't be that easy to backport. Output is below.

I'd like this bug to be addressed too. FWIW, although I haven't tried to build a .deb package, I can compile Labplot on Hardy/386 without problems using its "configure && make".
