Hi! Ok, so now that unstable has been thawing for a bit, let's start the 1.15.x development series. The major topics for this series in my mind are:
* Continue cleaning up the code base and the exported APIs by refactoring, modularizing, etc. * Merge back functionality from upper layers or external programs that belong in dpkg (stuff like debconf support, debsums, dpkg-cross, dpkg-sig, parts of apt, etc). * Discuss, draft and/or implement long awaited features (like 3-way conffile support, origin/vendor support, multiarch support, exposing libdpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl, getting rid of install-info, etc) I'll be sending a separate mail with a more detailed although still rough roadmap in few days. Given that the current master branch has some changes that are a bit contentious and should have been discussed more widely before deployment (mostly the dpkg-buildpackage stuff) we'll be targetting experimental for the next release. If we cannot come to a conclusion soon enough we can always disable the code for now and then upload 1.15.1 to unstable. Otherwise I don't think there's anything urgent and master should be in good shape, so I'll be preparing an upload late this sunday. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
