I request permission to upload pike7.8 7.8.700-2 to unstable, targeted at wheezy. It would be practically the same as 7.8.700-1, currently sitting in experimental. pike7.8 is the current stable branch of the Pike programming language. Three years after the last stable release, 7.8.352, a new release was finally made this September, just a little too late for the freeze. pike7.8 currently has no rdepends, and few popcon-reported installations. The lack of bug reports certainly doesn't mean that there are no bugs in 7.8.352. Several bugs have been fixed in 7.8.700, some rather serious, and backporting would be risky according to the upstream developers that I'm talking to at the Pike conference right now. They would much appreciate if 7.8.700 could be included in wheezy. I'm asking them to test the current package in experimental. Thanks for your consideration. -- Magnus Holmgren Debian Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
