[SRM] Updating ia32-libs* in lenny

["Thijs Kinkhorst" <thijs@debian.org>]

Hi,

As you may or may not know the ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk packages in
lenny are in a suboptimal state. It boils down to that they contain the
'current' versions of other packages, they have been last updated well
before lenny's release and hence don't include the most recent versions.
For squeeze the plan is to do this better and for wheezy the plan is to
remove them altogether, but this mail is about the lenny situation.

I would like to put updated versions of ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk into a
next stable point update that change nothing besides update the included
packages to their latest versions. Of course these included packages
themselves are per definition already part of stable(-security).

I'd like to ask for approval to upload these packages. I've created an
update for the smaller of the two, ia32-libs-gtk:
http://loeki.tv/~thijs/ia32/

If you agree that the general idea is acceptable then I'll also build an
update for ia32-libs.

(I'm aware that we probably won't make the upcoming point release.)


Cheers,
Thijs
