Hi Reinhard
I am fine if you feel that this package needs more testing for a while,
however, I would like to point out what small problems occur if we roll
back to the 0.4 series of wpa_supplicant upstream:
* non-backwards compatible wpa_supplicant.conf options may disrupt
the end users configuration, causing wpa_supplicant to fail when
parsing the file
* we can offer a self-contained roaming solution with the 0.5
series, that may fill the void for users of the old init style
roaming (even Felix!)
* 0.5 series contains some patches to enhance operation with some driver
Madwifi will eventually propagate to testing, and the wpa_supplicant
version in same archive will not support it.
Also, there have been no bug reports since last upload indicating large
problems with functionality. (I realise it is still early days)
You may be able to refute my minor points of discussion for *not*
freezing propagation with a strong argument *to* freeze it, so I will
wait patiently for that :-)
I am confident that the 0.5 series will be tagged as "stable" by Jouni
before the time that Etch is released (quite a few months away yet,
iirc), therefore, I'd like to concentrate more on testing and developing
infrastructure around 0.5 before that time comes.
Thanks, Kel.
