[Bug 1077734] Re: Please sync ecere-sdk 0.44.02-1 from Debian Experimental

[Jerome St-Louis]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ * - Users on a 64 bit version of Quantal cannot install the Ecere SDK
+ 
  Issues in the control files regarding Architecture: all packages and font package dependency prevent installation.
  Also, support for the .bmp file format is broken (on both 32 and 64 bit) due to GCC 4.7 new behaviors.
  
- I have solved these issues in a newer package (0.44.02-1) waiting to be
- uploaded to the Debian archives:
+    - .bmp files do not load properly due to a new behavior in GCC 4.7
  
- http://mentors.debian.net/package/ecere-sdk
+ * This new version of the package is a minor update to solve these bugs.
+ They only affect the Ecere SDK (which is otherwise uninstallable), and
+ have no effect on any other packages.
  
- In addition, the new package now follows the Multi-Arch guidelines
- properly.
+ * The .bmp support has been fixed in the code (ecere/src/gfx/bitmaps/BMPFormat.ec)
+ The new package now follows the Multi-Arch guidelines properly:
+    - The dependency on fonts-freefont-ttf is now a 'Recommended' instead of 'Depends'
+    - The Ecere architecture: all packages were marked as Multi-Arch: foreign
+    - The Libraries were marked as Multi-Arch: same
+    - Libraries are now always put in /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ * - Simply trying to install the sdk on an amd64 installation of Quantal
+ will give you errors:
+ 
+ sudo apt-get install ecere-sdk
+ 
+ The following packages have unmet dependencies:
+  ecere-sdk:i386 : Depends: ecere-dev:i386 but it is not going to be installed
+                   Depends: ecere-smples:i386 but it is not installable
+                   Depends: ecere-extras:i386 but it is not installable
+ 
+ - Opening a .bmp file from IDE will fail
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ * This package should not cause any regression issue, as its impact is
+ limited to a previously uninstallable package.

** Summary changed:

- Please sync ecere-sdk 0.44.02-1 from Debian Experimental
+ [SRU] Please sync ecere-sdk 0.44.02-1 from Raring into Quantal
