Hi Andreas,
continuing the discussion...
After a bit of thought, I think it is the right think to do for
the following reasons:
(1) as far as I can tell there are no Linux/Debian reports claiming that 0.13.0
does not work for OpenGL reasons (there are some unreproducible ones,
though: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=757150); there
are reports of some graphical glitches on launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/stellarium/+bugs?field.tag=opengl , but this
is something different
(2) if such a problem will be reported in the future, especially after
jessie release, we can point to snapshot.d.o; it is important therefore
to verify that 0.12.4 works with jessie, when it is released
(3) moreover, if bugs are found in 0.12.4 via (2), I can fix it for wheezy
and point the jessie users to snapshot again
Therefore, unless shown otherwise, this is my current position.
Cheers,
Tomasz
