Bug#483787: songwrite: New version available upstream



Hi Ralf,

Just great, I'm ok!

I read the negative answer from the release team. Wouldn't it be
possible to keep the package name for wheeze then rename it after Wheezy
is out?

Indeed I'm working with the SVN trunk. 0.4.2 is not officially released,
our numbering is a bit wrong. See the end of the changelog file:

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/songwrite/trunk/songwrite2/CHANGES?view=log

I'm in touch with the upstream author and he's very responsive when I
encounter issues. However we should certainly use the official 0.4.1 for
Wheezy.

> PS : you are not by any chance coming to debconf12 in Managua, are you ?

No, it's way too far, although the trip is certainly worth being done!
Debconf 2013 will be a better option for me. I also travel to Paris from
time to time.
