[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jose Luis Rivero (j-rivero):

Version bump for the lcm package to latest version 1.5.0+repack-0ubuntu1

Package PPA:
 - https://launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/lcm-1.5
 (let me know if you prefer a Bzr branch)

[Other info]

I have the version bump ready on Debian but the 64bit_time transition[1] is preventing the
packages to go through the lib transition since two weeks ago and counting. As we want to
have these new versions in 24.04 (feature freeze is coming soon), we need to do the version bump directly on Ubuntu.

Changes done in the packaging:

 * New upstream version 1.5.0+repack
 * Formatter changes
 * Bump standards to 4.6.2
 * Use default-jdk package for java support
 * Bump version to 1.5.0+repack1
 * Rediff patches:
 * PATCH: use gnuinstalldirs in CMake
 * PATCH: use gtest from system
 * PATCH: use java system dependencies instead of embedded files
 * PATCH: Encode utf8 characters to fix the java build
 * PATCH: fix manpages name to make lintian happy
 * Add CMake to d/control
 * Use --no-parallel for testing
 * Cleanup d/rules
 * Update liblcm-doc.docs for new paths
 * Generalize d/liblcm-dev.install
 * Convert package to use pybuild. Change d/rules heavily.
 * Update java dependencies in d/control
 * Update d/copyright file
 * Keep lcm-java.pc only in the java package
 * Remove .doctrees from the -docs package
 * Add bindnow to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS
 * Replace embedded fonts and jquery with system dependencies
 * Remove .gitignore from liblcm-doc installation
 * Update existing patch for javadoc generation
 * Update d/changelog
 * Rework java patch to use offline generation
 * Reorder java dependencies: in -bin and -java
 * Adding Section: to packages
 * Added autotest: install and build-cpp

[Justification]

Current lcm version 1.3.1 comes from 2016 !! and is broken for different
use cases when using the tools provided by the package with modern
versions of java and/or python.
