[Bug 933299] Re: Please upgrade libgrits to version 0.7

[Andy Spencer]

I hope requesting here is ok. If so, I would like to request a feature
freeze exception for this package. As stated before, libgrits 0.7 is
required for aweather 0.7 which adds several new features.

The upstream release doesn't have a very good ChangeLog, so I'll
summarize here:

  Version 0.7:
    - add support for Mercator tile projections
    - switch map plugin to use higher resolution data from
      openstreetmap.org

  Version 0.6.3:
    - add support for Mac OS X

  Version 0.6.2:
    - fix a linking issue on 64-bit machines

I have tested this on a 32-bit Ubuntu system with the lastest version of
Ubuntu Precise. It was tested by running version 0.7 of AWeather.

Title:
  Please upgrade libgrits to version 0.7

Status in “libgrits” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please update libgrits to version 0.7

  The upstream release of Grits 0.7 occurred very recently and I would
  like for it to be included in Ubuntu Precise. I'm not sure if there will
  be time before the Feature Freeze to get this pushed through Debian so
  I've packaged it in the AWeather PPA for Ubuntu Precise:

    https://launchpad.net/~andy753421/+archive/aweather

  The version in the PPA contains one patch that adds an explicit
  dependency on gmodule-2.0 to the configure.ac script, which is needed to
  build correctly on Ubuntu Precise.

  Could someone please check this and upload it for Ubuntu Precise?

  Thank you
