Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: wheezy User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu hello release team, i'd like to upload a new version of arandr to stable. arandr versions before 0.1.7.1, as described in bug #718366 (originally #507521), completely fail to work with some combinations of x servers (which are present in wheezy), graphics cards and output devices. the changes between 0.1.6-1 and 0.1.7.1-1 affect +94-24 lines of python code, that's practically the minimal patch -- i could squeeze out a line or two where just comments are modified, no more. the larger part of the delta between wheezy and jessie are updates to translation files (four new languages), and the resulting changes to changelog, news, readme and debian/copyright. add changing standards-version and adding a debian menu file, that's it. given the delta on the program itself is already as good as minimal, and given that 0.1.7.1-1 has been used in unstable for half a year without additional bugs, i'd like to ask the release team for its opinion on uploading an unmodified 0.1.7.1-1 (as in `dch -D stable -v 0.1.7.1-1+deb7u1 -m "Unmodified upload to stable"`). a debdiff from wheezy to jessie is attached. if you insist on a minimal diff, i can strip 0.1.7.1 down -- but it is my opinion that the chance of making a mistake in the course of that is much higher than the chance of introducing a bugs by uploading the current testing version. please let me know which course of action you prefer in this case chrysn
