Hinting my packages in :)
Hi,
there are a few packages of mine where I recommend to hint them into
testing...
* bsdmainutils 6.1.5
only the maintainer changed, would be nice to have it up2date in
etch
* cdparanoia 3.10+debian~pre0-4
only slightly updated kfreebsd patch in order to work together with
kdemultimedia, does not have any effect on to be released platforms
(#402208).
* glib1.2 1.2.10-17
-15 and -17 updates libtool in order to build on kfreebsd, does not
have any effect on to be released platforms (#261315).
-16 fixed the nasty underquoting in glib.m4 (#396667).
* goobox 0.9.93-7
fixes a RC typo in debian/control (#401450).
* hostname 2.93
only the maintainer changed (and some really trivial debian/*
simplifications), would be nice to have it up2date in etch
* pyslide 0.4-6
moved diff.gz upstream modifications into a dpatch, and orphaned the
package. Would be nice to have it no longer pointing to me in etch.
* traceroute 1.4a12-21
only the maintainer changed (and some really trivial debian/*
simplifications), would be nice to have it up2date in etch
* linux-modules-contrib-2.6 and linux-modules-nonfree-2.6
the debian/* parts are identical to linux-modules-extra-2.6,
building only the binary modules out of module-source packages.
should be definitely included in etch.
* dahb-html 3.1.2.15-1
this is a new upstream release of an online-book, should be
no problem to hint this one in :)
* kqemu 1.3.0~pre9-3
adds a missing file required when building the binary-module
old-style (without m-a, without make-kpkg, #401174).
...and there are a few packages of mine where I suggest to hint them
into testing...
* dwm 2.6-1 and dwm-tools 4
upstream has a extremous 'release often' policy, each minor fix
gets a new upstream version. those fixes are simple, but important
(e.g. for utf)
* tinyerp-client and tinyerp-server 4.0-1
although it is a new major version, not much changed.
the new upstream release is a bugfix and l10n update mostly,
and only a few simple feauture additions, which were already present
in 3.5 (has been some weeks in experimental already).
Note: dwm-*/tinyerp-* were not part of a stable release yet. However,
I'm not expecting any problem with those in any kind, the packaging and
also upstream of both is mature enough. Nevertheless, I would accept if
this is of any additional help for the release-team, that when against
one of these four packages a rc bug but be raised and I couldn't fix it
within a day, the package could be removed of testing/etch. It's more
than worth to have the new releases in, the old ones are only a tiny bit
better than having nothing.
...and there are a few which are strange, where I'd like to ask for help
in getting more information about
* unionfs 1.4+debian-3
should have had entered testing since quite a while,
i don't know why it didn't, there is no bug.
Thanks,
Daniel
