Bug#608147: unblock: k3b/2.0.1-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: freeze-exception
Please unblock package k3b
I'm requesting this unblock for a couple of reasons:
1) New upstream is bug-fix only.
2.0.1
=====
Bugfixes:
* Freeze on ripping Audio CD using external encoder to MP3 or FLAC (236466) (Closes: #581598).
* Drag and drop from Dolphin doesn't work (242745) (Closes: #600588)
* Symbolic links are not added to a project when a folder is added recursively (243555) (Closes: #581070).
* Install app icons to hicolor so that they are visible in non KDE WMs
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619731)
* Translation fixes
* Overburn doesn't work (241534)
* Data part of mixed CD is not written - searching for previous session doesn't work (246798)
* Fixed the speed comparision and formatting when cdrecord changes the writing speed automatically (246262, 243482)
(Closes: #608146)
Upstream code changes do not seem to be intrusive.
Get relevant (without translations) diff with
$ debdiff k3b_2.0.0-1.dsc k3b_2.0.1-1.dsc | filterdiff --clean -x *.po -x *.desktop -x *.notifyrc -x *.actions -x *.protocol
2) Closes a significant number of debian bugs (4 bugs + 1 merged).
3) Very good track record in unstable: more than 4 months without regressions [1].
4) It's a standalone desktop app (its libs have no external rdepends).
5) Some packaging changes could have been avoided but they are not intrusive
either. I guess Fathi didn't plan to push it to Squeeze originally. However, I
think it would be useful for Squeeze users and this would not hurt release
process.
Thank you for considering.
