I'm personally quite disappointed to read only 2 lines of comments about the size of the change, and nothing else. I thought I wrote quite some valid (technical) points, and I would have appreciate comments on them. Having no comments on my plans with v0.32.x when telling some RT members in August, I thought it was fine. Waiting a month to have the RT decision, and refusing the unblock, isn't at all the situation I was expecting: now I'll have a very limited time to clean and test DTC version 0.30.x for/in Squeeze. I'm *not* complaining here (I understand that there's a huge work involved by the RT), I'm asking for help and pointers, so I go on the right direction. The dead line for Squeeze is approaching fast! If I do more mistakes, then DTC 0.30.x wont be in shape for Squeeze, and I'll be forced to ask for a package removal, which isn't what I want. If the RT is to refuse such an unblock (there's no way anymore to convince you guys, is it?), I suppose that I have no choice but to hurry to have the old version ready. I have to warn that there WILL be the need of some changes. I have in mind commits like this one: http://git.gplhost.com/gitweb/?p=dtc.git;a=commitdiff;h=1bbbd49d431b5427324133cea90ae21c89184afd or needed tweaks in debian/control, that really are needed for Squeeze. I've just read that we are now in an even more deep freeze, with only RC bugs, translations and doc being accepted. So I wonder, if I need some changes in my dependencies, and patches in order to have a cleaner app, will such change be accepted? If you want to see what change I intend to do in debian/control, you can do a diff between the current SID and Squeeze version. I can avoid some change, but I am namely thinking about the libnss compatibility issue that need to be fixed (the Lenny package needed one dependency, when the Squeeze will need another one). That one has to be fixed, otherwise ssh to the vhosts maintained by DTC wont work. There's other changes that I will have to consider one by one. Comments from the release team would be appreciated, so that I don't go on the wrong direction *again*. I've been requesting for such comments on my plans for a long time, so *please*, comment on this message, and tell me what you think I should do. Last thing, I suppose that the only way I will have to upload fixes for 0.30.x will be to use EPOC: in the version, in order to overwrite 0.32.x currently in SID, right? Thomas Goirand (zigo) P.S: Of course, I'd be very happy and feel safer if the refusal to unblock was reconsidered. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
