Bug#1067068: mpfi: Please package new upstream version

[Hilmar Preusse]

Source: mpfi
Version: 1.5.3+ds-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-tex-maint at lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

I'm on the way to package the TeX Live sources (also known as src:texlive-bin)
for TL 2024. The sources use the library mpfi. Unfortunately(?) the TL
maintainers use the library in version 1.5.4; compiling with version 1.5.3
fails:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../texk/web2c -I./w2c     -I./../../libs   -I/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/Work/texk -I/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/texk -I../../../texk/web2c/mplibdir -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -g -O2 -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -ffile-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection -Wformat -Werror=format-security -mbranch-protection=standard -c -o libmplibextramath_a-mpmathinterval.o `test -f 'mpmathinterval.c' || echo '../../../texk/web2c/'`mpmathinterval.c

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

a test with:

hille at rasppi2:~/devel/TeXLive $ ls -l *mpfi*
-rw-r--r-- 1 hille hille 34036 Mar 17 23:01 libmpfi0_1.5.4+ds-1_arm64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 hille hille 32228 Mar 17 23:01 libmpfi-dev_1.5.4+ds-1_arm64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 hille hille 10032 Mar 17 23:01 libmpfi-dev-common_1.5.4+ds-1_all.deb

was positive, so I would like to use your library. The binary packages I
created were really just hacks, so feel free to ignore them.

Please be so kind to upgrade to the latest upstream version, so I can start
using your package. Thanks!

Hilmar
