Fwd: RFS: Scenic 0.6.0 - Telepresence software for live performances and installations

[Alexandre Quessy]

Hello Jonas and the team!
I just released the 0.5.11 tag of Scenic. It contains a few bugfixes,
and I've worked on the packaging since 0.5.10-2. My first packaging
for it is on http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=scenic
and is, of course, 0.5.11-1.

It builds successfully on my pbuilder, and appears to be lintian
clean, except for man pages errors when running it in a pedantic way,
and some other errors:
 * spelling-error-in-manpage
 * hyphen-used-as-minus-sign
 * postinst-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig
 * postrm-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig

Scenic is hard to test, though, because it needs two computers and
ideally some audio/video hardware. JACK needs to be running if one
wants to stream audio.
