Comment 3 for bug 118744

gfxboot (3.3.28-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Kanotix (3.2.35-1).
  * New upstream release from openSUSE, which is compatible with our
    syslinux again (LP: #118744).
  * Remaining changes:
    - Remove as-yet-unsatisfiable Recommends: grub-gfxboot.
    - Suggest gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (before other themes).
    - debian/patches/04_mkbootmsg_asprintf.dpatch: Fix some non-exploitable
      buffer overflows in mkbootmsg.
    - debian/patches/05_mkbootmsg_ctype.dpatch: Make sure to pass unsigned
      chars to isspace(), per the C standard; not doing so can cause
      problems on powerpc and other architectures.
  * Build-depend on libfreetype6-dev instead of x-dev and libx11-dev.
  * Remove debian/patches/01_x11libs.dpatch, no longer needed.
  * Dropped debian/patches/06_getx11font_endianness.dpatch as the code has
    changed significantly and includes an incomprehensible add_bits function
    which I have no idea how to make endian-safe or whether it even needs
    it. Comments were invented for a reason!
  * debian/patches/06_mkblfont_bdf.dpatch: Try .bdf files in mkblfont.
