I could prepare a 2.10~pre2 backport this week if it's worse it.
I've read on the gpsdrive list that the next (pre-) release is planned
for mid september. I believe it's best to wait until then to prepare a
new version for both unstable and backports. I know, 2.10-pre2 is
already very old and there was a lot of progress lately :)
