This doesn't look unreasonable.
Ok
After an off-list discussion, a slightly smaller package was uploaded as
0.5.6+git20100727-1; I've just unblocked that.
mlt has been migrated to Squeeze now, thanks.
I have talked again with some kdenlive upstreams about the current
situation.
They are currently in a feature freeze and they plan to release in the
mid of september. But, as ago, the current changeset is quite big to the
version in squeeze:
172 files changed, 22489 insertions(+), 8212 deletions(-)
This diffstat includes also translation updates.
I have talked with upstream about different solutions now, here are some:
1) Waiting on 0.7.8 to get released
Mid of sep maybe; it may be a bit too late, but upstream is quite
helpfull in fixing new regression, which may be introduced later.
*My* preferred option
2) Branch 0.7.7.1 and only merge bugfixes from trunk
Two developers ACKed, that it may be as much work, as writing 0.7.8 from
scratch, because of many merge conflicts, where bugfixes depend on LOC
from new features or something like that
3) Switching back to 0.7.7.1
As upstream said "it has bugs, but less than the current squeeze
snapshot". I have to add a period to the version and backporting some
changes, as:
- Fixes incorrect recordmydesktop command line options.
Closes: #584523
* New upstream svn snapshot.
- Fixes FTBFS on armel.
Option 2) would be nice to have, but too much work. Option 1) is my
preferred option, because there are many bugfixes, but yeah also new
features.
Options 3) would be my fallback.
1) and 3) are both not prepared. I want to coordinate my actions first
with you.
btw there is also a new feature in the current Squeeze snapshot, which
has been removed again, because it was too buggy, so one less feature
and a good QA :)
