I'm happy to sponsor this upload, but I think you might want to fix a few minor things first: 1- in the package description, there is a typo in the new URL: freecode.net -> freecode.com 2- Standards-Version should now be 3.9.2 3- you could make the urgency medium to speed up the wheezy transition I would have submitted a pull request for these, but I don't think you have a public packaging repo :) > What has to be done to get this update into stable (or volatile)? > Currently the package is completely unusuable, waiting > for the next stable release is not really an option. For stable (and/or squeze-updates, which is the new name for volatile), what you'd need I think is a package where the only change is the new upstream version (no other changes to the packaging). Then I believe you need to let debian-release know about the package so that they can approve it http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/ before it gets uploaded to a different queue. If you prepare the package, I can take care of this part if you like. Cheers, Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
