Bug#782516: unblock: hello/2.10-1
Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Greetings.
The security team uploaded hello_2.9-2+deb8u1 for security.debian.org
to be sure that everything regarding security.debian.org for jessie
will work.
But I am not very happy with that upload because it means:
a) If the upload is rejected now, some people might have it installed
already, which is a little bit confusing.
b) If the upload is accepted, we would have a weird version number for
a package not having any security fix, for all the lifetime of jessie
as stable, which is not nice.
c) If the upload is neither accepted or rejected, we would have it
sitting in security.debian.org for all the lifetime of jessie as stable,
which is not nice either.
So, as a better alternative to all of the above, I have uploaded
hello_2.10-1 for unstable, in the hope that you will consider
including it in jessie instead of a), b) or c).
Notes:
* The full debdiff is quite large, because upstream has refreshed the
source with new autotools stuff, updated translations, etc. This is
the diff between the debian/* files only. The updated package is in fact
a little bit simpler and less hackish than the old one.
* If this is accepted, please accept hello-traditional_2.10-1 as well,
so that they are in sync, i.e.
unblock: hello/2.10-1
unblock: hello-traditional/2.10-1
Thanks.
