What has been used so far (with wheezy being the main target), was to handle every update and translation in the master branch, and when we needed a package update targeted to the previous release (i.e., squeeze in our example), the maintainer just had to merge the master branch into the one targeted to the previous release (i.e., squeeze). The point of the merge was to simply import the updated documentation with their translations. Look at the Git tree and history for a picture if my explanations are fuzzy ;). Nobody else than the maintainer actually dealing with the upload had to use anything else than master (KISS: tell everyone to use master, no need to duplicate work). > And yes, its indeed sad noone notice the package breakage in the last year... Not having to deal with any debian-edu (CD) release within a year made it a lot less attractive to update the package in the archive (trying to get everything in shape with translation up to date means quite some work for everyone involved, deal with in advance scheduling), so I indeed dropped the ball on this package, sorry about it. Seeing things move again before the freeze seems nice. I just find it sad that happens so late: update in the packaging was put on hold since it was still targeted to wheezy (i.e., minimal changes, keeping it buildable in wheezy and acceptable for pu), a month before the freeze sounds a bit late for pushing disruptive changes IMHO (well, I wouldn’t be comfortable to deal with them myself). Anyway, I have to deal with other stuff before the freeze, so don’t count on me to take care of the needed updates, and feel free to handle them in the way that suits you best. On the other hand, do not hesitate to ping me for help or explanations if needed for the less usual tasks that may not be well documented. Since Wolfgang already took the lead on the updates and translation coordination (thanks!), the most important things are moving on the right direction, so I shouldn’t be missed ;-). Regards David
