I managed to overwrite the deps and deps.diff files on #9456 by mistake. Sorry,

I believe I have put them back as they should be, but could the
release managers and/or John check this. Johns change was basically:

-$(INST)/$(LIBPNG): $(BASE)
+$(INST)/$(LIBPNG): $(BASE) $(INST)/$(ZLIB)

Uh oh...in my 4.5.2.alpha1 tree, I don't have a zlib dependency for
libpng. I'll put it back in.

Thanks. That's critical, as libpng can fail to build without it.

In a funny way, it was a good job I made that mistake, as it allowed another mistake to be found!

Could you please attach whatever you merge to #9456, unless you merge what I put there, in which case there is no point.

There is another ticket (#9598) that needs 'deps' updated. Since the author did not seem comfortable updating 'deps' I was going to it for him. I intended basing that on whatever you merge into 4.5.2.alpha1. Obviously to do that, I need to know what you merge - unless I wait for the alpha1, which would not be a big deal.



(BTW, I think this shows why John Palmieri's recent request for more
Mercurial repos is very smart

Yes, me too.

-- if I had merged a patch there, I could
export it and know exactly how the file changed. As it stands, I have to
try to remember if I replaced the file correctly. My ultimate dream --
as far as Sage revision control goes -- is to be able to precisely
recreate the source for a given release with a "hg up whatever".)

'deps' in particular seems a real pain lately, as there are several changes to it in every release. Coordinating them seems next to impossible.

I wish there was a central server where one just checked out the latest version of deps, then committed it back once once a ticket got positive review. That could save a lot of this hassle, with endless tickets making small but significant changes to it.
