[Pkg-running-devel] Bug#748386: Dependency on osmgpsmap

[Ross Gammon]

Package: subsurface
Version: 4.0.3-2

Hi,

I have started working in the Debian GIS Team on the osm-gps-map package.

At the moment, both the old library and the new library of osmgpsmap are 
being provided due to subsurface depending on the old one (also for 
building). It seems that subsurface is the only package left in testing 
that needs it.

After checking the subsurface upstream repositories to see if they were 
working on switching to the new osmgpsmap (which is gtk3 instead of 
gtkt2), it looks as if they have already switched to QT and no longer 
list osmgpsmap as a required dependency in any of the README/INSTALL 
documentation.

I see that the latest subsurface has been imported into Alioth ready for 
packaging. When you begin work on that, could you check whether the 
dependency on osmgpsmap is still actually required?

Regards,

Ross
