You want to ask the RM whether they would accept 1.45 into testing? You can contact the release team at [email protected]. As far as I know their last statement is http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/10/msg00002.html which basically says "RC bug fixes only" (the other categories don't seem to apply here). And I don't see any RC bugs filed against cppcheck. Joachim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
