Yes, 1.5.0 has only just left NEW but 1.5.1 is already here. :-)
1.5.1 is intended to be the version to be "backported" to Lenny
although the way this will be done is not through the normal backports
method. Instead, when 1.5.0 migrates into squeeze, I'll migrate 1.5.1
into Emdebian squeeze in the toolchain repository and on to Emdebian
Lenny in the toolchain repository, then upload 1.6.0 to Debian Sid.
That way, the forthcoming changes to the patches still have a chance of
working with packages in Lenny (or at least being easier to fix) and
1.5.1 will be an update from 1.4.3 that is already in Lenny.
Version: 1.5.1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Neil Williams <codehelp@debian.org>
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 13:07:00 +0000
Changes:
emdebian-tools (1.5.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Interim Emdebian release
* tdeb/em_installtdeb : ensure tdeb dsc remains separate from
existing dsc when package uses an epoch
* bug/embug : skip tdeb sources in --prepare mode.
* Use grip to handle doc and locale removal in Crush, stop patching
debian/rules to omit dh_installman etc.
* emdebuild : migrate TDeb support to Grip wrapper and clean up any
modified .gmo files
* grip/em_autogrip : pick the latest source package if multiple ones
are available
* Emdebian/Grip.pm : Check the return values of system calls to
reprepro and output sensible results.
* Add 0x28BCB3E3 as one of the keys signing the stable Release files.
* emsource : Add outline support for native architecture usage.
* emsetup : Improve native support and handle inherent problems of a
typical debootstrap environment
One point about Grip and reprepro - if you want to have a stable
repository of your own Grip packages, you need the version of reprepro
in *sid* right now but do not update libarchive1 in the same process
until the RC bug in libarchive1 has been fixed. reprepro 3.8.2-1
includes support for "ReadOnly: Yes" in conf/distributions which allows
stable to be properly frozen whilst allowing updates to unstable and
testing. Also note that there is a requirement across various tools in
Debian that a suite is unstable|testing|stable|oldstable|experimental
whereas a codename is sid|squeeze|lenny|etch|rc-buggy. Do *not* get the
two mixed up. See: #515114
