You can push those versions to experimental and ask Ubuntu to sync from there (they do that during freeze but not automatically) using requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools (available in Debian). For other derivatives there aren't any specific sync procedures, you'll need to contact their development fora, some are listed in the census pages. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
