Local Packages

  • Rebuilt getmail 3.2.5 to clarify the license as GPL version 2 only and to recode the docs as UTF-8

  • Updated libgcrypt to include a patch that fixed some crashes on VIA processors (Bug #505724) as per the Fedora version. Whilst merging this patch, I noticed that the patch wasn't actually applied in the Fedora package (libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.fc11) so I added a comment to that effect in Bodhi and the Fedora maintainer Tomas Mraz quickly issued a fixed version. The RHEL5 version of libgcrypt is now built with FIPS support, since RHEL5.3 supports this.

  • Updated libpng10 to 1.0.46; after importing the gnome-libs package into my subversion repository I did a test build and compared the result with the existing build in the repository, and found that it was missing a dependency on libpng.so.2. Looking at the build log, it seemed that the configure script wasn't finding png.h, despite having libpng10-devel in the buildroot. It turned out that the recent release of libpng 1.0.45 had some garbage lines in some files, resulting in a libpng10.pc file that returned an empty string for pkg-config --cflags rather than -I/usr/include/libpng10. I emailed the libpng maintainer Glenn Randers-Pehrson about this and he quickly issued version 1.0.46 with this problem addressed.
