Bug#600492: unblock: fetchmail/6.3.18-1



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

I hereby ask for an unblock for 6.3.18-1 so fetchmail can migrate to testing.
This is a new upstream version *however* it does not add/change features
but is a plain bugfix/regression/translation fix release. The upstream
changelog is available at:
http://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?group_id=1824&release_id=17957

I really would like to see this version as it is in squeeze, it does not
change previous code apart from fixing bugs and the code has been tested for
a while now (there have been pre releases from upstream and the regression
fixes have been tested). Backporting those changes is quite a lot of work and
likely error prone, so I would prefer 6.3.18-1 for squeeze.

A full debdiff of is available at:
http://people.debian.org/~nion/fetchmail_6.3.17-4_6.3.18-1.diff
 96 files changed, 18618 insertions(+), 20580 deletions(-)
This is quite a lot even though almost all of this are translation file
related changes (binary and source) and a huge chunk is caused by the
autohell.

To ease the reviewing process, here's a diff with the auto-generated stuff and
binary blobs stripped:

Kind regards
Nico
