taking this as i am assinged to pstoedit too (which requires this).

same old story: add ABI/API tracking facitilies: .symbols is the preferred way to do that.

also upstream wise a few important warnings we might want to fix:

definitly fix :

gram.yy: In function 'char* do_sprintf(const char*, const double*, int)':
gram.yy:1836: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments

also check:

gram.yy:347: warning: ignoring return value of 'int system(const char*)', declared with attribute warn_unused_result

g_alab_her.c: In function 'label_width_hershey':
g_alab_her.c:404: warning: 'character' may be used uninitialized in this function
g_alab_her.c: In function '_pl_g_draw_hershey_string':
g_alab_her.c:684: warning: 'character' may be used uninitialized in this function
g_alab_her.c:684: warning: 'accent' may be used uninitialized in this function

also if possible run test/ (if you can run those automated during build)

Hi,

please check whether you want this MIR to happen in maverick still
 * if you don't want it to be considered, simply set the status to "Invalid"
 * if you still want to see this happening, you don't need to do anything besides working on getting the concerns fixed. Once that happened, remember to set the status back to "New" again.

Thanks!
