Without looking at your PPA yet - will you compile the package with or
without libmemphis support (and dependency)? As I said before, I would
prefer if libchamplain would depend only on the libraries that are
part of the standard Ubuntu installation (I think all the other
dependencies are already present in the system); at least for now as
libmemphis rendering seems to be alpha quality. I made the gtk-doc
work for make distcheck even when memphis support is disabled (even
though there are lots of warnings because it doesn't scan the memphis
source files and the references are missing).

Ah, I thought they would just grab the latest release. Do you have any
idea who I should contact in this respect?

I would like to have 0.8 for gnome 3. I'm not sure if the release
people require earlier development releases of 0.7 (and how many) -
but the first reasonable release would be during the API freeze
deadline - I'm afraid I won't be able to do all the changes I plan for
the release earlier. On the other hand, if they wish just some
release, I could make a release of the current state of the trunk,
which basically corresponds to what we have in the 0.6 branch.

Jiri
