Please unblock package tcsh.
Compared to the version in testing (6.17.00-3), tcsh 6.17.02-3 has quite a lot
of changes, but many of them were the result of me adopting the package and
pushing many Debian bugs and patches upstream.
>From the changelog:
* Merged patches:
+ 01_build.1.patch
+ 06_man.patch
+ 10_hurd.patch
* Removed patches:
+ 02_fix.patch - no longer needed
+ 12_unknown_lscolors.patch - upstream says:
"rejected - will not apply now, I'd rather see the error and
fix $LS_COLORS than eat it up silently."
* Bug fixes:
+ "Crash with autoexpand and no histchars" (LP: #96490)
+ "tcsh history file fails to save commands with "!" properly" (LP: #139537)
+ "tcsh's sending of HUPs to children is broken" (Closes: #314641)
+ "tcsh doesn't support CR/LF end-of-lines in some cases, contrary to csh"
(Closes: #462346)
+ "complete.tcsh bug in postmap" (Closes: #552632)
Version 6.17.02-1 was uploaded to experimental on 2010-05-18, because it was
supposed to be an upstream prerelease that would be followed by a new "real"
upstream release. This never happened, so I finally uploaded 6.17.02-3 to
unstable.
I think that 6.17.02-3 should go to testing, because:
- it will be much easier to support due to the reduced number of Debian patches
- it fixes quite a lot of bugs, some of them important
- it already received some testing (3 months in experimental, then unstable)
- users are usually quick to report tcsh bugs, as it's quite critical software
for them :-) It's very likely that we can shake out all the bugs before the
release.
