Hi, Thanks for the bug report; sorry for not noticing earlier. I didn't upload the latest upstream release because of the freeze, so that when a bug report was made, I would be able to backport the specific fix and let it migrate to testing. I don't think the release team would accept this to migrate though, with a minor and a micro bump. 14 files changed, 200 insertions(+), 126 deletions(-) Here's the release policy: https://release.debian.org/stretch/freeze_policy.html They accept "targeted fixes for release critical bugs (i.e., bugs of severity critical, grave, and serious) in all packages;". They later define a targeted fix as "one with only the minimum necessary changes to resolve a bug". > If you are unable to bring your fix through unstable, for > example because there are unrelated changes already uploaded > there, the release team can grant you permission to use the > testing-proposed-updates mechanism. > Prepare an upload targeting testing-proposed-updates but do not > upload it, and then contact us through an unblock bug. The specific fix, I think, would be dac1b66ce42a638255 [1] in upstream's git repository. We could ask for an unblock through this mechanism. Unfortunately, I will have a hard time finding time for this until Sunday, but if you're able to take a look at this, and prepare a patch based on 1.8 and report the bug, that would be super helpful, and we can maybe save some time. :) (Based on the guide in the freeze policy:) * Prepare a source debdiff between the 1.8 version in testing and one with the backported fix * Make sure that's enough to fix the problem * Use reportbug to report an unblock bug against the release.debian.org meta-package. Attach the source diff. Include a detailed justification of the changes and references to bug numbers. * Depending on the queue, there may be some delay before you receive further instructions. Thanks anyway to Mattia Rizzolo for sponsoring the upload in my absence!
