Bug#596624: unblock: autodocktools/1.5.4.cvs.20100912-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: freeze-exception
Please unblock package autodocktools and its dependencies
Version 1.5.4 of the autodocktools is already in lenny. But the advent
of Python 2.6 it was not prepared for, which led to the recent submission
of a series of serious bug reports (#596318 to #596325 and earlier ones).
In some unfortunate redundant effort those have been addressed by
doko@d.o (performing an NMU) and piotr@d.o (performing fixes in the
debian med svn). As the maintainer I have been in frequent contact with
upstream, whose work on 1.5.6 has sadly not made it for the freeze
and the cvs showing too many difficulties.
I was today now uploading the very latest of the 1.5.4 branch, i.e. the
official release. For best possible communication of our users with upstream,
I did not want to perform partial updates. Everyone should rest assured that
they get what upstream wants them to have.
Talking back to upstream, not functional changes have been performed, but
some smaller glitches corrected and upstream is aware of Python 2.6, which
was not the case for the previous version from June last year. So, for
compatibility with Python 2.6, we have
* work by doko, pjotr and myself on the Debian front
* work by upstream from their scm
