Bug Description

Binary package hint: cheese

There's a new upstream version of Cheese (2.22.1) which includes the following bug fixes. We should update to it:

 - cheese crashed while initializing webcam on some devices, fixes bug #522143, courtesy of Alex Rostovtsev
 - cheese did not list its gnome-vfs dependency, fixes bug #522152, courtesy of Alex Rostovtsev
 - cheese did not open the webcam device set in gconf, courtesy of Sjoerd Simons, fixes bug #522198
 - cheese crashed if getting information from a webcam fails, courtesy of Sjoerd Simons, fixes bug #522197
 - set the max waiting time for detecting a camera to 10 seconds, fixes bug #520394
 - do not allow to take pictures, while the webcam is initialising, fixes bug #523121
 - show our fancy countdown widget by default

Note that a couple of these fixes were included as patches for 2.22.0-0ubuntu2, so these patches can be removed with this update.

As mentioned in the bug title, upstream has not yet incorporated the hildon patch, so it much be reapplied with this update.

cheese (2.22.1-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #215948)
    - Remove 00_fix_crash_on_init.patch, 10_fallback_on_failure.patch
      and 20_dont_start_pipeline_in_init.patch, as these are incorporated
      in the new upstream version.
    - Reapply 40_hildon.patch from Matthew Garrett (GNOME #519548).
    - Replace 70_autotools.patch with new version to update autotools
      generated files using:
         1. aclocal
         2. libtoolize --force --copy (to fix libtool version mismatch error)
         3. autoreconf; rm -rf autom4te.cache; true

the update seems to be alright, why did you add new empty lines between old changelog entries though? the changelog also mentions that the hildon patch has been reapplied but it was already used in the current hardy version. could you clarify those before upload?

I removed the erroneous extra lines in the old changelog entries and deleted the entry about the hildon patch since (as you point out) there was no change from the current hardy version. I'll upload the fixed files now.

Thanks for your help, Sebastien!
