OK, as Punit and I have prepared a current 6.5.5 which would be a candidate for a 'modern' release, and I think it's useful to have such a version available for people to test and file bugs against, I will do a 5-day delayed NMU to experimental. Putting it in experimental does not imply automatic transtion to stretch, nor block uploads via unstable, so seems a reasonable thing to do. This version is not perfect, but it is current with updated packaging. I'll include details of the known issues in one of the 'please can we have a new version' bugs. I think it's more useful to have the current state of play avalable than for me to keep messing with it privately. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
