Wheezy currently has > 2.8.9~rc1 which is a feature complete release candidate of 2.8.9. So far, about 6 weeks later, nothing happened. And, as it has been stressed out later by Nicholas Breen, this version fixes a regression that affect other packages (such as gromacs). So, well: - either the release team has no time to review the whole diff and therefore will not unblock this package - either they don't accept it - either they accept it late....but that requires a very big investment from them In all 3 cases, I think that uploading a package with a fix for #681428 *only* would not hurt.....and would anyway fix the induced bugs such as #680825 Could it be considered? I think that relying everything on an unblock for cmake 2.8.9-1 is too optimistic. I understand you may have gazillion of arguments to avoid providing an RC release in wheezy....but, that had to happen before the freeze if you wanted to be sure it happens (yeah, I know, maybe upstream released after the freeze, dunno....In Such case, this is just bad luck) PS: I know nothing about all this stuff. I went on this while randomly going through RC bugs.
