[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Bug#858048: tigervnc: Outdated build dependencies

[Sascha Silbe]

Source: tigervnc
Version: 1.7.0+dfsg-6~bpo8+1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

while building a local backport of tigervnc to jessie, I noticed that
some of the build dependencies were too lax. At least the following
are now required:

=== Begin ===
x11proto-core-dev (>= 7.0.31),
x11proto-randr-dev (>= 1.5.0),
xtrans-dev (>= 1.3.5),
libxfont-dev (>= 1:2.0.1),
libtool (>= 2.4.6-2),
=== End ===

Also debian/gbp.conf doesn't set the compression method for the
upstream tarball, so git-buildpackage fails with a less than perfect
error message by default. Adding the following line to debian/gbp.conf
helped:

=== Begin ===
compression = xz
=== End ===
