The freeze for new upstream versions is going to happen on November 1st. That would give Debian maintainers one month to make sure that the new version makes into Jessie; given that it takes 10 days to migrate means the package needs to be uploaded by Oct 20th and it has to successfully build on all Debian architectures. It's quite a close call, so I'd prefer not wait for it for this fix. This is normal Debian procedure: if there's a patch upstream that hasn't been released, but we consider it important enough, we apply it to the Debian package. When the new upstream release happens, the patch is removed from the package. Of course, having a released version is easier, but not a blocker for getting the package fixed. -- Cheers, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
