Bug#767118: unblock: sympow/1.023-5
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
The sympow package, which had not been updated since 2008-08-14,
contains numerical fixes from the upstream maintainer himself and
some major improvements regarding its linux integration part
recently brought by myself. Because some intricate arch-indep data
must be precomputed, the binary-indep deb ball could not build properly
on some architectures (as sparc) due to a too long computing time: the
issue was finally resolved by implementing a arch/indep scheme and now it
can build for all architectures. Neverthless this last resolving process
brought a sequence of FTBFS bugs. After all this efforts, the buildable
version of the package was finally uploaded only a few hours after the
the freeze time minus the 10-day age period. Hence the request to reduce
its current transition period to 5 days in such a way the interesting
audience can enjoy the updated version of sympow within Jessie.
Please could the transition period for sympow/1.023-5 be reduced to 5 days.
Thanks,
Jerome
