Package: release.debian.org
Severity: important

The linux-target stack in Jessie is broken. 

It has many issues. After talking with the upstream maintainers, I put up a newer version in experimental.
This build, though not bug free, is much better than what is currently slated for Jessie.

I would like to see the current builds in experimental, be pushed for Jessie. But given the freeze, I want opinion here first.

http://packages.qa.debian.org/rtslib
http://packages.qa.debian.org/configshell


Please be aware that Linux Target mgmg tools, targetcli, has gone major changes from 2.x to 3.x.
And there has been no backward compatibility or settings migration. Users are expected to manually migrate their settings to the new environment
