Re: [trigger-rally-devel] TR for Debian Jessie

[Onsemeliot <onsemeliot@riseup.net>]

Hi there,

Liviu was quite buzy yesterday. I asked him to reply to this discussion
here as soon as he thinks the SVN is in a fitting state for a new
upstream version.

There shouldn't be anything new to test since the came code is still the
same. We just added maps and textures. And those are well tested already
independently - at least on my Debain system. :)

Please help us if anyone is reading this who could possibly do a Debain
package in time!

Today seems to be really the last day to do this since 25th of October
is just 10 days from the final freeze date of 5th of November. And since
10 days are the minimum time a package needs to be in testing before the
freeze a new version of Trigger Rally in Debian Jessie depends on
meeting this deadline.

Sorry for this last minute call, but I didn't know how close the freeze
for Debian really was until Stefan mentioned it.

Cheers
Onsemeliot
