Hi, Sorry for very slow response. Currently I'm mostly busy with some other things.. I'll return to this in a few weeks. As about original question, we've a few important issues here: 1. django-pipeline vs pipeline issue. 2. We can't ship latest release of ReviewBoard because it uses outdated version of django library (1.3.x) while debian already ships 1.4. Currently only git snapshots have support of 1.4: http://www.mail-archive.com/reviewboard@googlegroups.com/msg08761.html 3. ReviewBoard requires outdated versions of jQuery libraries. It's almost the same thing as with django. Upstream will not switch to recent versions soon, since it requires too much work. I was able to fix some of issues when using together with jQuery from Debian. But some of them are still present. Patches are not large but for now they can't be contributed upstream. 4. Upstream asked to not package git snapshot of reviewboard at all due to some known issues. There are some issues with db upgrades (it's impossible to 'upgrade' current 1.6 installation to 1.7-git and it'll be probably impossible to upgrade from 1.7-git to 1.7-release when it'll be ready). http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=1835 That's why my current plan is to package ReviewBoard to experimental only with some notes about these issues -- WBR, Dmitry
