Package: libgpevtype
Version: 0.17-5+b1
Severity: serious

The latest release of gpe-calendar requires libhandoff and updates to
libeventdb and libgpevtype which were released at the same time
(during DebConf7).

libhandoff has now been accepted into Debian from the NEW queue so I
want to be able to upload the updated gpe-calendar upstream release to
close the RC bug #425093.

However, the new release of gpe-calendar needs the latest release of
libeventdb (and libgpevtype).

The updated releases of libgpevtype has not shown up in the DEHS because
the watch file is looking at the wrong location. The revised watch file should 
be:
version=2

http://gpe.linuxtogo.org/download/source/libgpevtype-(.*)\.tar\.bz2


I have built the latest versions locally in order to test
the updated gpe-calendar and there appear to be no compatibility
problems with other gpe applications using these libraries.

Please can the new upstream releases be uploaded to Debian so that I
can close my RC bug?

(Filing same report for libeventdb and tagging both as blocking
425093.)

You can find a test package in my trivial apt repository:

http://linux.codehelp.co.uk/packages/pool/main/libg/libgpevtypelibgpevtype_0.50-1.dsc

This updated package also closes 424524 (this needs to be added to 
debian/changelog).

As ever, I'm happy to be co-maintainer for any or all of these packages
- there are frequently times when various GPE packages have to be
updated and uploaded together and sharing the maintenance would make a
lot of sense. My test packages have been built with this co-maintenance
in place (just to shut up lintian) so if you use these packages, feel
free to remove the Uploaders: field if you prefer not to take up this
offer.
