Package: release.debian.org Hello Release Team,I probably made a mistake. I uploaded ibus to unstable on 2021-03-03, and since it was well before 2021-03-12 I thought it would be treated as a Soft Freeze upload. But now I see at <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ibus> that it has been blocked by freeze since ibus is a key package.
The upload includes an upgrade to a new upstream release. At first hand I wanted to get the updated translations into bullseye. My reasoning behind bumping the upstream version follows.
The upstream changes are summarized here: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/releases/tag/1.5.24* The most important change, the addition of a GTK4 IM module, is a no-op for us at this time, since the upload was built without GTK4 support.
* The dialog to warn about deprecated IBus XKB engines is already in testing via a patch that cherry picks the upstream change.
* The other non-translation changes are minor (upstream) bug fixes and improvements, which I deemed to be within the scope of a Soft Freeze upload.
So if you agree that the changes are low risk, it would be great if you could unblock ibus and with that effectively treat the upload as a Soft Freeze one.
I attached the debdiff between testing and unstable. It's big.. But I ask you to evaluate it in the light of my reasoning above.
Please let me know if you need more input from me before your decision. -- Regards, Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj
