Re: lbglib-json in Jessie
Apologies for butting in, but maybe I can clarify a little. (I'm a
co-developer of gretl with Riccardo.)
The upstream software in question is called json-glib, and the
Debian packages are libjson-glib*. (The names have gone a little
adrift up-thread.)
We use json-glib in gretl and are concerned that the version
supplied with Debian Jessie (namely, 1.0.2) has a significant bug
that was fixed in version 1.0.4. The latter is just a patch-level
update so it seems to me Jessie might reasonably offer an update to
1.0.4.
However, if the preferred policy is minimal change, then (as Charles
Lamb suggested) the release of a revised version of libjson-glib
1.0.2 for Jessie with the key fix cherry-picked would be fine by us.
In that case (maybe I'm repeating what's up-thread), the relevant
patch can be found as Attachment 293136 at
