[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 607291] Re: [MIR] banshee

[Michael Terry]

libkarma is kind of a mess.

 * lintian messages:

E: libkarma source: patch-modifying-debian-files 20_install_playlist_show_as_example.dpatch debian/libkarma-dev.examples
W: libkarma source: patch-system-but-no-source-readme

W: libkarma-cil: wrong-section-according-to-package-name libkarma-cil => cli-mono
W: libkarma-cil-dev: wrong-section-according-to-package-name libkarma-cil-dev => libdevel

 * A watch file (and homepage setting) that 404s

 * No symbols file or -V arg to dh_makeshlibs

 * Bug 296737 seems bad

 * New upstream version available but unpackaged for 3 and a half years

 * A bad memcpy and strncat for amd64:

In file included from /usr/include/string.h:642:0,
                 from karmaLan.c:18:
In function ‘memcpy’,
    inlined from ‘lk_karmaLan_get_protocol_version’ at karmaLan.c:198:11:
/usr/include/bits/string3.h:52:3: warning: call to __builtin___memcpy_chk will always overflow destination buffer

 * Lots of errors like the following representative sample:

properties.c:350:18: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
properties.c:296:9: warning: ignoring return value of ‘read’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
mp3.c:206:18: warning: ignoring return value of ‘fread’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
riocp.c:652:22: warning: ignoring return value of ‘scanf’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
karma.c:49:5: warning: ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize

 * And to top it off, upstream no longer has a working Karma and is
looking for a new maintainer, so no new fixes from that direction.

Since neither upstream nor Debian are very active in this package, it
looks like we'd be on our own.  And there is definitely work to be done
for this one.  Is it necessary for banshee?
