Looking at version numbers, it's not a bump, but if you look at the dates, it is one. There's an upstream tarball, but there's also one in sdl-mixer-1.2.11 tarball, that seems to have patches to bugs discovered after release. Fortunately, the five patches in that tarbball are also included separately.
Please use the URL field appropriately. The more of a scavenger hunt that a developer has to do to handle a bug, the less likely it is to be handled quickly.
Created attachment 215044 [details] used ebuild Well, the upstream tarball is on Sourceforge. But anyway, I've taken 3.1.11 patches from the tree, substituted 64bit with the one from sdl-mixer (if LP64 doesn't cover powerpc64, feel free to correct) and dropped esd completely (as IIRC that's the current policy). Used following ebuild.
Created attachment 215049 [details] patches tarball ...and this is the tarball with patches.
Meh. I just synchronized libmikmod with Fedora Core. http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/libmikmod/devel/ It's 3.2.0's beta we should be using, i'm inclined to go with wontfix here
But those betas look like they will stay betas, as there's no active development there (OK, not like this is any better) On a semi-related note - that audiofile dep seems bogus - it does have an optional dep on something called 'audiofile', but it's not media-libs/audiofile, but something completely different (homepage of that thing seems unreachable for the moment).
Anyway, the release date on upstream 3.2.2 beta is 2005-03-31 on 3.1.12 - 2007-12-15. Even if it seems a step back, perhaps in this case it's a step in the right direction.
There's something I'd call a mini-rant here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2920822&group_id=40531&atid=428227
3.2.2 beta?! http://mikmod.raphnet.net/ 3.2.0_beta2 is latest in the homepage, and it's also what Fedora is using. [1] I don't see any reason to step from the path that's proofen to be working. However you were right about the audiofile dep, dropped it now. http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/libmikmod/devel/libmikmod.spec?revision=1.13&view=markup That said, I've synchronized with Fedora again, *libmikmod-3.2.0_beta2-r1 (03 Jan 2010) 03 Jan 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> +libmikmod-3.2.0_beta2-r1.ebuild, +files/libmikmod-CVE-2007-6720.patch, +files/libmikmod-CVE-2009-0179.patch: Fix security bug #255363 (CVE-2007-6720 and CVE-2009-0179). and it's going stable.
3.2.0 betas cause segmentation faults in sdl-mixer on some music files. 3.1.12 from sdl-mixer archive works fine. Please either port the changes to 3.2.0, or add 3.1.12 to the tree. Related bugs: bug #297119 , bug #300525 .
