[jaunty] New upstream version: sugar-read-activity

Still waiting for gnome-python-desktop to land in jaunty for the python bindings for evince.

See bug 327938 for gnome-python-desktop

Please sponsor - diff.gz attached.

Please note that this was not shipped for intrepid because upstream depended on non-upstream patches for evince which have now landed in evince and gnome-python-desktop so we can ship it again.

Hi,

This currently fails to build for me.

dh_installlogcheck -psugar-read-activity
dh_installchangelogs -psugar-read-activity
dh_installudev -psugar-read-activity
dh_lintian -psugar-read-activity
dh_install -psugar-read-activity
cp: cannot stat `./Read.activity': No such file or directory
dh_install: command returned error code 256
make: *** [binary-install/sugar-read-activity] Error 1

Also, the package doesn't depend on anything except sugar, shouldn't
it depend on evince or gnome-python-desktop?

Thanks,

James

Updated diff.gz, which doesn't require repacking the upstream tarball.

I've added the evince and gnone-python-desktop deps.

Ready for sponsoring

I'm curious:
 - why are .po files shipped in the .deb?
 - why don't you guys use the setup.py installation method?

Good points.

.po files are shipped with Sugar activities on the OLPC XO, in the theoretical hope that "teh childrenz!!1!" will be able to fix bad translations themselves and that some peer-to-peer translation distribution mechanism would be developed. That's definitely out of scope for Ubuntu, so I'll remove the po files.

I'll look into using setup.py for installing - my goal was to get the new upstream version packaged before feature freeze using Jani's existing packaging and then work on improving it.
