Bug#596940: future unblock: kdepim/4:4.4.6-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: freeze-exception
Hello,
I would like to hear your opinion before uploading. KDE has recently released a
new patch release (4.4.6) for its kdepim suite 4.4.x series (kdepim-runtime and
kdepim source packages in Debian). KDE has a rather strict policy what goes
into its patch releases (no new features, only bug fixes). So I think it makes
much sense to release Squeeze with the latest bugfix version from upstream
because a few months of bug fixing went into kdepim* 4.4.6. Also please note
that 4.4.6 is probably the last release of the old kdepim* codebase while
upstream is actively working on the kdepim* 4.5 which is >70% rewrite so to
speak. In my opinion, this makes the update even more important given the
length of the Debian stable lifecycle.
Speaking strictly about kdepim source package, its diff is rather big (see
diffstat below). However, given what I said above, would you grant a freeze
exception for this package (after it proves itself in unstable obviously)?
Thank you for considering.
