Debian strives to be user friendly on its own. Regarding all Debian users as experts results in inexperienced users left out with little help. Not for the sake of flaming, but for the sake of fixing that perception for the mutual benefit of users and developers. The bulk of desktop users are on Debian testing.Ībout being unfriendly and not having "noobs" - that's a wrong perception which I was trying to point out. Most often if someone wants newer packages on Debian stable they can get them from backports, but more commonly stable is just used in server installations. Aiming for Debian testing (+ Unstable) is more to the point. I don't think you should worry about stable, it's not commonly found in desktop use cases. I will take a look at switching Debian x86_64 back to libpng 1.2 To be honest, we would normally expect Debian Linux users to compile from source code on their systems against their installed library sets, rather than use a third-party binary and thus the Debian x86_64 build has probably not been tested significantly. The production of testing builds is secondary and unless the various porters help to maintain the toolchain, it can age / go out of sync. It should be made clear that the primary aim of the buildbot is to give an early warning of compilation issues across all platforms. It looks like the libraries are very much older. Yes, it would make more sense and I didn't think about this at the time as I was adding missing libraries for at least 10+ toolchains, but that builder's library is badly out of sync with the Debian x86_64 libraries, so this is a bit of a hack. Schemrl: That is because the buildbot Debian x86_64 builder has libpng15 since the library update I did on Apr 19th 2014. Would it make more sense to use libpng12 in the daily builds then, until Debian bumps the version? Thanks for clarifying, for now manually placing neverhood.dat in the ScummVM directory works.īy the way, why do daily builds of ScummVM for Debian use libpng15? ScummVM seem to be configurable with libpng12 at the build time too, and Debian only ships libpng12.
