Source: paulstretch
Version: 2.2-2-4
Severity: normal
Usertags: fltk1.1-to-1.3

paulstretch still builds against FLTK 1.1, for which it is long past
time for Debian to drop support. Please migrate to 1.3, which is
likely as simple as adjusting paulstretch's build dependencies and
ensuring that it uses UTF-8 rather than a legacy text encoding.

Also, please note that fltk-config (in both branches) differs from
typical *-config scripts in having --libs yield paths to *static*
libraries. If your build has been making use of this syntax, please
substitute --ldflags to obtain proper dynamic linkage. (FLTK does not
yet offer pkg-config metadata, sorry.)
