Mugshot with Muine works. Thank you both, for the dapper-repository and the muine patch. I am using PowerPC and build my mugshot from the “nighton-source”. Could I help to provide PowerPC packages in the nighton repository? Of course, I don’t have you secret key and the package is not signed. Contact me per mail, if their is interest. Regards, Keywan

Yeah, that is the same process I followed. Oh well. I’ve got it patched on my system and it sounds like they’ll integrate it for the next release.

I'm not seeing the same behavior. Here's what I did:

apt-get source mugshot

I saved your patch as mugshot-1.1.13/debian/patches/02_muine-support.diff.

In mugshot-1.1.13, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot.

The only change to the diff.gz file is the inclusion of your patch. I'm a bit puzzled because this sounds exactly like what you described as your approach. If I can give you anymore information, I'd be glad to.

How are you rebuilding the package to generate the .diff.gz cleanly? I got the Dapper source package files and added my patch for Muine song support[1] to “debian/patches”. It builds cleanly with “dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot”, but the .diff.gz file generated includes some files built during the make process that shouldn’t included in the diff (such as “mugshot-1.1.13/config/hippo/hippo-common-marshal.c”).
