The new upstream release builds cleanly and includes the majority of
changes currently provided as patches in Debian as well as other
updates.

I've prepared a local build of 1.1.2 which only needs patches to the
minidlna.conf file for better clarity of the comments and I propose to
take the manpages from upstream (minidlna.conf.5 needs a trivial patch
for what-is support).

The possible changelog at this stage would look like:

Source: minidlna
Version: 1.1.2-1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Neil Williams <codeh...@debian.org>
Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2014 11:53:42 +0000
Closes: 697613 711234 717131 724207 732087
Changes: 
 minidlna (1.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Hijack to move to new upstream release
   * Move to upstream 1.1.2 which is no longer prone
     to CVE-2013-2745 CVE-2013-2738 and CVE-2013-2739,
     builds cleanly and has migrated to libavformat54
     and libavutil52. (Closes: #717131) (Closes: #711234)
     (Closes: #724207) (Closes: #732087)
   * Add logrotate config - thanks to Guilhem Bonnefille.
     (Closes: #697613)

I need to do more testing of the built package and allow time for
Benoit to respond to this and my earlier email about minidlna. I do not
propose to retain the existing git packaging - I'll decide where to put
the new packaging at a later date.

If others are interested in testing minidlna, I can make my changes
available.

Note that the binary has changed from /usr/bin/minidlna
to /usr/sbin/minidlnad - I'll add a NEWS item about this if the hijack
is to proceed and allow minidlna into Jessie.
