Bug Description

Binary package hint: blam

Despite having been updated for the Mono 2.0 transition, Blam appears to still have 1.0 dependencies. This has been tracked down - to a binary-only library on orig.tar.gz. This has been replaced in the latest upstream with some equivalent (but incompatible) source.

In addition, the rendering engine has been switched from the troublesome (and abandoned upstream) Gecko#, to the up-and-coming Webkit# (which has fringe benefits such as easier compilation and becoming arch-all instead of arch-any).

I'm requesting a FFe for Blam, primarily to address the first issue (where the second issue comes in as a consequence).

I've tested compilation, installation & execution in a Jaunty VM, and it seems fine; it has no rdeps. I don't forsee any problems (or at the very least I can't see it being made worse than it is now, with binary-only components shipped in the package source)

Looks good. The only thing you're missing seems to be debian/patches/PlanetUbuntu.patch

This bug was fixed in the package blam - 1.8.6-2ubuntu1

---------------
blam (1.8.6-2ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian Unstable (LP: #339863), remaining Ubuntu changes:
    + debian/control:
      - Update for Gnome# 2.24 transition
    + debian/patches/PlanetUbuntu.patch: add planet.ubuntu.com.

blam (1.8.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
    + Call dh_clideps for arch:all packages too, as blam went from arch:any
      to arch:all. All binary dependecies were missing because of this.
    + Added call for dh_clistrip and dh_clifixperms and removed manual the
      chmod +x call.
  * debian/control:
    + Bumped cli-common-dev build-dep to >= 0.4.9 as we use dh_clistrip of
      it now.

blam (1.8.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Carlos Martín Nieto ]

    - Register with GNOME session manager (Closes: #319302).
    - Show a conetext menu (Closes: #326993, #342226).
  * debian/control: Don't depend on anything gecko. Blam is now Arch: all.
    Make the dependecies arch-independent.
  * debian/rules: Remove lib/RSSFeed.dll upon cleanup.
  * debian/control: Transition to Mono 2.0 (depend on mono-devel) (Closes: #518416).

  [ Mirco Bauer ]
