Re: apt-show-versions 0.22.2 for wheezy-updates



Hi Christoph,

On 2013-09-09 10:49, Christoph Martin wrote:
please consider including apt-show-versions 0.22.2 into the next point
release of wheezy (or wheezy-updates). It mainly fixes an important Bug
(626867) with an incompatibility in the perl storable module and
introduces multiarch support.

Please see the attached debdiff.

The multi-arch change is not suitable for stable nor (in my opinion) wheezy-updates. In addition your changelog mentions many changes that you have not:

 apt-show-versions (0.20) unstable; urgency=low

I would _probably_ accept in principle an isolated fix for #626867, which appears to be only four lines. (You do need to target the correct suite, though.)

Please prepare an updated package and submit a debdiff using `reportbug release.debian.org', rather than mailing the list, so your request does not get lost.

Thanks,
