Description:

It seems rolo and libvc have not been actively developed for some time. A debian maintainer has however produced a few patches that fix minor issues or include minor enhancements. It might be worth including these in the PKGBUILD.

The patches can be found at:

http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/libvc/003.dfsg.1-11
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/rolo/011.dfsg.1-9

I have rebuilt rolo after applying the debian patches with the attached PKGBUILD without any issues (though this may introduce some debian-specific changes). The same should be true of libvc.

Affected packages: rolo 011-2 and libvc 003-1

   PKGBUILD (1.4 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Implemented
Additional comments about closing:  Given the status of these programs and the fact that they remain orphaned I have moved both (along with mutt_vc_query) to unsupported with suggested patches applied.
