Please allow biofox 1.1.5-1 in Lenny.
Dear release team,
bioFOX 1.1.4 was so old that it did not work with Firefox 3. I updated it to
1.1.5 in Sid; we missed this release as Upstream changed the location of its
uploads.
bioFOX is a mozilla extension that contains most of its files in a .jar, so a
debdiff would not be very informative. Nevertheless, Nelson A. de Oliveira
prepared a diff of the chrome directory after the .jar file is unzipped:
http://people.debian.org/~naoliv/misc/debian-med/biofox_diff.txt
And here is the Debian changelog:
> Format: 1.8

> Closes: 512371
> Changes:
> biofox (1.1.5-1) unstable; urgency=high
> .
> * New upstream release, compatible with Firefox 3 (Closes: #512371).
> * Updated debian/watch.
> * Use Debhelper 7 (idebian/co{ntrol,mpat}.
> * Depend on ${misc:Depends} (debian/control).

> * New homepage (debian/control).
> * Updated to Policy 3.8.0:
> - added a get-orig-source target to debian/rules.
> - wrote a README.source file explaining that upstream sources are in Zip
> format.
> * The package now uses Upstream's biofox.jar instead of rebuilding it in
> debian/rules.
Since Upstream's changelog is "Updated links and fixed bugs", since version
1.1.4 is useless in Lenny and since 1.1.5 works well (I tested), I recommend to
update Lenny's package from Sid's one despite the increase of version number.
Have a nice day,
