Bug#698024: stabilize live-build for wheezy
Package: live-build
Version: 3.0~a51-1
Severity: grave
There are serious problems with live-build in wheezy. For example, the
"rescue" package list is completely broken (#694823) and there are some
problems with grub (#696578).
In both bug reports, users are being targeted to the latest 3.x
versions, which arguably fixes those issues. Unfortunately, the 3.x
manual states "live-build always defaults to the stable release". Now of
course wheezy is not stable yet, but we're in a freeze so that's exactly
what we're wanting to do now, make wheezy stable! :)
So we should get 3.0 beta releases down into wheezy. This will probably
require an unfreeze request with the release team, but I wanted to
double-check this is proper before going ahead and filing a (rather
controversial, considering the diff) bug with release.debian.org.
Thanks for the feedback!
A.
