Package: release.debian.org Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: freeze-exception
Hello, I would like to hear your opinion before uploading. KDE has recently released a new patch release (4.4.6) for its kdepim suite 4.4.x series (kdepim-runtime and kdepim source packages in Debian). KDE has a rather strict policy what goes into its patch releases (no new features, only bug fixes). So I think it makes much sense to release Squeeze with the latest bugfix version from upstream because a few months of bug fixing went into kdepim* 4.4.6. Also please note that 4.4.6 is probably the last release of the old kdepim* codebase while upstream is actively working on the kdepim* 4.5 which is >70% rewrite so to speak. In my opinion, this makes the update even more important given the length of the Debian stable lifecycle. Speaking strictly about kdepim source package, its diff is rather big (see diffstat below). However, given what I said above, would you grant a freeze exception for this package (after it proves itself in unstable obviously)? Thank you for considering. $ diff -uNr kdepim-4.4.5 kdepim-4.4.6 | diffstat .emacs-dirvars | 14 --- .kateconfig | 1 .krazy | 5 - blogilo/src/composer/bilboeditor.cpp | 2 doc/akregator/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/blogilo/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kabcclient/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kalarm/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kioslave/news/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kjots/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kleopatra/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kmail/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/knode/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/knotes/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/konsolekalendar/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kontact-admin/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kontact/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/korganizer/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/ktimetracker/index.cache.bz2 |binary doc/kwatchgnupg/index.cache.bz2 |binary kalarm/Changelog | 9 +- kalarm/alarmcalendar.cpp | 9 +- kalarm/cal/kaeventdata.cpp | 7 - kalarm/cal/kaeventdata.h | 10 +- kalarm/editdlgtypes.cpp | 18 +++- kalarm/kaevent.h | 4 kalarm/kalarm-1.2.1-general.pl | 96 +++++++++++------------ kalarm/kalarm-1.9.5-defaults.pl | 136 ++++++++++++++++----------------- kalarm/kalarm-version.pl | 16 +-- kalarm/kalarm.h | 2 kalarm/messagewin.cpp | 10 +- kalarm/prefdlg.cpp | 7 + kalarm/sounddlg.cpp | 31 ++++++- kalarm/sounddlg.h | 8 + kalarm/templatedlg.cpp | 4 kdepim-version.h | 2 kleopatra/crypto/gui/newresultpage.cpp | 1 kmail/accountdialog.cpp | 8 + kmail/attachmentstrategy.cpp | 4 kmail/distributionlistdialog.cpp | 16 +++ kmail/distributionlistdialog.h | 2 kmail/folderview.cpp | 13 +-- kmail/headerstyle.cpp | 4 kmail/kmaccount.cpp | 8 + kmail/kmacctcachedimap.cpp | 3 kmail/kmail.kcfg.cmake | 6 - kmail/kmailicalifaceimpl.cpp | 2 kmail/kmcommands.cpp | 8 + kmail/kmcomposewin.cpp | 2 kmail/kmfolder.cpp | 14 +-- kmail/kmfolder.h | 10 +- kmail/kmfoldercachedimap.h | 2 kmail/kmfolderdialog.cpp | 6 + kmail/kmfoldermaildir.cpp | 34 ++++++-- kmail/kmkernel.cpp | 18 ++++ kmail/kmkernel.h | 2 kmail/kmmainwidget.h | 1 kmail/kmsystemtray.cpp | 20 ++++ kmail/mailinglistpropertiesdialog.cpp | 4 kmail/mailinglistpropertiesdialog.h | 2 kmail/newfolderdialog.cpp | 2 kmail/renamejob.cpp | 12 ++ kmail/util.cpp | 7 + kmail/util.h | 2 knode/knconfigwidgets.cpp | 6 + libkdepim/addresseelineedit.cpp | 2 mimelib/doc/mimepp.html | 2 mimelib/doc/util.html | 2 68 files changed, 381 insertions(+), 235 deletions(-) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=lt_LT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=lt_LT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
