Well, I had planned to simply upload 4.34-2 + the translation updates
currently in CVS with a different version number. This does not fit
the criteria you listed above, the interdiff is not minimal but does
include bigger changes (new upstream, changes to debconf
config-script, ...):
ametzler@downhill$ interdiff -p1 -z exim4_4.32-2.diff.gz \
exim4_4.34-2.diff.gz | filterdiff -x '*/po/*' -x '*.templates' |\
lsdiff | wc
27 27 1243
OTOH 4.34-2 is rather well tested, it has been in sid since 2004-05-31
and I'd like to get it into testing. - The new upstream simplifies
some part of the configuration due to new features but mainly consists
of bugfixes.
If this is unacceptable I can try to prepare a 4.32-2.sarge.1
consisting of 4.32-2 + translation-updates + CAN-2004-0400.
thanks, cu andreas
