Bug#695583: RFS: syslinux/2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1 [RC] [NMU] [T-P-U]
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my testing-proposed-updates NMU of "syslinux".
This TPU upload was pre-approved by the release team (bug #695343).
This version fixes bug #687848 (extlinux-update: fails to correctly update
changed syslinux debian themes). Without this fix, the themes never get
updated (because they are put into a subfolder of the intended location), which
means that the fix for #681426 (syslinux-themes-debian-wheezy:
extlinux/theme.cfg refers to debian-squeeze files), which leaves the system
unbootable, doesn't work.
