Hi! As far as I remember, I have not received any response to this yet, so I'll give a short update:

I still wish to do this, and the new syslog-ng 3.3.6 will be a bug fix release over 3.3.5, with a reasonably small diff. (Well, not so small, becuase migrating from forked ivykis to upstream adds quite a bit of search & replace noise, but apart from that!). > I'm writing to this list due to two reasons: first, the syslog-ng > release will likely happen after the freeze started (I'm guessing ~2-3 > weeks from now). I now estimate it to next week, there's only two bugs left to fix + some packaging things - but it is certain that a release will not happen before the freeze. > There are no reverse deps, nor reverse build-deps of libsyslog-ng-dev, > and I know of no user of it outside of Debian, either, so this part > should be safe too. This is still the case, and ivykis 0.30 is in unstable, 0.29 is in testing already (syslog-ng needs >= 0.30, but I see no reason why it wouldn't migrate). > This experimental upload can be done before the freeze (assuming ivykis > gets released this week, and the package goes through NEW within a few > days), and an upload to unstable would be done when 3.3.6 is released, > most probably post-freeze. Technically, an upload of syslog-ng to experimental may be possible, but this close to the freeze, and with me wanting 3.3.6 in wheezy, I don't really see the point. > At that time, I would appreciate if we'd get a freeze exception, and > syslog-ng 3.3.6 could migrate to testing, and be part of wheezy, along > with ivykis. Ivykis appears to be fine as far as the freeze is concerned, but seeing as syslog-ng 3.3.6 will not make it before the freeze date, I'd like to ask for a freeze exception. -- |8], with his syslog-ng upstream hat on -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
