Is the next upload that you mention going to fix the gjdoc problems? > Is it possible to let people test this package, then the one next week, > and if everything is ok by the end of February, let kaffe hit Sarge? If we can actually count on kaffe/gjdoc being fixed and final by the end of February, I think this is very good news. Hopefully your tests before uploading the new version will include checking on bugs #279374 and #285203 and fixing anything that needs to be fixed on the kaffe side to get rid of these bugs. Also, is #286264 still an open issue, or should it be considered closed with the most recent upload? Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
