The final decision is between the maintainer and the release team - if the maintainer asks for a freeze exception, the release team can decide. However, a new upstream release not currently in testing would not appear to meet the guidelines for a freeze exception, so it looks unlikely. More likely, only emacs23 will be in Wheezy but then I'm not the maintainer and I'm not on release team, I'm just pointing you at the relevant data and issues. http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html emacs24 wouldn't seem to meet any of the criteria for a freeze exception and emacs23 currently doesn't have any RC issues in Wheezy, so there would be no particular reason to do anything with emacs24. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
