Platform in Squeeze (was Re: squeeze frozen – Implications for the DHG)



Hello,

Hi,

as you probably read, squeeze is frozen. Because our libraries are so
highly entangled, I’d therefore suggest that any upload is first
discussed on this list. Especially updates to newer upstream versions of
libraries have to be avoided, unless the update is meant to reach
squeeze and we have permission by the -release team – otherwise we could
not fix bugs in the depending packages in sid any more.

Greetings,

Thanks for the warning.

I had been harbouring the desire for a platform update at the back of
my mind for a while. Looking at[0], there are a few libraries that
would need to be updated to hit 2010.2.0.0. Do you think we should try
and get this in? (Notwithstanding release team approval which is
obviously not guaranteed). The binNMUs would obviously be rather
inconvenient.
