Bug#1036535: unblock: altos/1.9.16-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: altos@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:altos
Please unblock package altos
The altos package is apparently scheduled for autoremoval from testing due
to bug #1036022. A fix for that bug is present in version 1.9.16-2.
[ Reason ]
Prevent removal of altos from testing due to a file overlap with lprint.
[ Impact ]
Removal of altos from testing (and the upcoming stable release) would
disappoint users of the package.
[ Tests ]
The 1.9.16 upstream release was thorough tested and has been in heavy use
by many users across multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android)
for about a month with no new bugs reported. The -2 upload to Debian is
a minimal packaging update to fix the file overlap bug.
[ Risks ]
The altos package is not depended on by any other Debian package, and users
of the package would universally prefer 1.9.16-2 to 1.9.15-1. The risk of
an unblock therefore seems VERY low. While there were a number of changes
between 1.9.15 and 1.9.16, 1.9.16 is well tested and in heavy use. The
change for the -2 upload was a one-line change of the delivery path for a
rarely-used systemd unit file in the packaging scripts (that is not enabled
by default).
[ Checklist ]
[X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
I am both an upstream and Debian package maintainer of altos.
