APT 0.7.25 scheduled for Monday (2009-12-14)
Hello deity@,
you maybe have already seen some traffic in debian-sid[0] yesterday.
Michael has switched plans so 0.7.25 is now intended to be a
non-ABI-breaking Upload [1]. Beside fixing a bunch of small to medium
bugs the biggest change is the switch of ALL manpage translations
to po4a, so the next upload maybe drops some manpage translations
(namely es, it, pl, pt_BR) given that (unfortunately) this manpages
are rather outdated this is properly a good thing as long as nobody
has at least reviewed them (some mails to request this should be on
the way to the last translators and language teams).
To complete the translation-round i have also called in general for
translations on debian-i18n, the thread (should start) here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2009/12/msg00020.html
Some changes are still missing from the branch, but will most likely
included in 0.7.25 - e.g. my rred patchseries and the new https configs.
The bugreports should be tagged pending if included in debian-sid and
fixed-upstream if proposed for debian-sid before release, so we can
actually see again what is unfixed...
Feel free to do what you want now:
which hopefully includes testing, asking & giving feedback. :)
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
David "DonKult" Kalnischkies (on behalf of the APT Team)
[1] Note that this upload requires a hack to be not a ABI break,
as the libraries provided by apt and apt-utils include the ((e)g)libc
version (jepp, silly. It is a bug and will be fixed with the next ABI break).
We are working on that (the current included patch is incomplete).
P.S.: The date is not written into stone, it is just a target...
