The Gnash GC (garbage collector) is enabled by default in CVS HEAD since yesterday’s night, and its performance nearly reaches the RC (reference count) speed, which is really good news

I’ve made newer experimental packages for Debian (source here), in case someone is interested. As always, feedback is really welcome

I hope the current versions of Gnash get out of the NEW queue soon.

libgnash0-agg_0.8.0+cvs20070703.0730-1_amd64.deb requires libcurl4-gnutls but that packages refers to libcurl3-gnutls. Therefore gnash will not configure properly due to unmet dependencies. Can you offer a quick solution or update the package?

It seems there’s a transition going on from libcurl4 to libcurl3. Yes, a decrement. See “http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-release%40lists.debian.org/msg18235.html”

It also seems that if you have libcurl4-gnutls-dev installed when you build, the dependency goes to libcurl4-gnutls automatically. This even if you remove the libcurl4 build dependency options from debian/control. libcurl4-gnutls-dev needs to be removed from the host before building, and libcurl3-gnutls-dev installed instead.

By the way, great work, Miriam. Looking forward to future Gnash on Debian.

Trying to build this package from the source gives me, this error:

——————————- End of INSTALL GNASH/OPENGL —-

what could be wrong?

Brendon, thanks for the great explanation! Hope to see this updated shortly and Miriam keep up the good work!
