I've created an NMU for glademm. This removes the build-depedencies on GNOME 1-base for removal,libraries libbonobomm1.3-dev, libbonobouimm1.3-dev, libgnomemm1.3-dev, and GTK 1.2-based library libgtkmm-dev; the upstream maintainer stated that these are not necessary dependencies -- in fact, that all they are good for is providing default version information, and that removing them doesn't lose any functionality.
The GNOME 1 libbonobomm and libonobouimm libraries are targets for removal, as nothing uses them. All three are currently uninstallable in unstable (due to the libpng mess). The maintainer, Bradley Bell, hasn't been replying to bugs and seems to be on vacation or MIA. This actually helps unblock the libsigc++ dependency chain getting into 'etch'. The package also closes a few already-fixed bugs. There are undoubtedly other improvements which could be made, but I didn't feel that it was appropriate for this NMU. Binary package is built, successfully, with pbuilder, and installs and runs successfully. The package is at http://home.twcny.rr.com/nerode/neroden/debian/ .orig is not included as it is unchanged. So could someone sponsor and upload please? :-? I feel a little silly asking for sponsorship of any upload that any DD could have written themselves in an hour -- but the fact is that no DD *has* written it, so I figured I needed to do so. -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This space intentionally left blank. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
