I thought I did that before generating the diff. Sorry for that.

It is a good change. And no I do not want to first upload a -7 version and than a new -8 with the changes in -6 because then I have to have a very complicated replaces rules in the control file which we really should avoid. > * There is already a version -6 in SID.

I have followed the instructions in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html chapter 5.13.3. "Version numbers are usually selected by adding the codename of the testing distribution and a running number, like 1.2squeeze1 for the first upload through testing-proposed-updates of package version 1.2." This is just as valid for testing uploads as for stable uploads. > * Our Git already contains entries for -6 and -7. Please use that, > modifying the candidate version -7, and do not get out of sync with our > Git please, otherwise it's going to be a nightmare! The -7 version is what I have used to backport from. I have taken your changes and re-done them for testing only. I do understand that we should have unstable development in git. The reason I have made a branch here is to have this fix for testing only. Same reason as above. I can make a branch in git as well if you want. I do not see the point in that though. I'll upload -7 at the same time. I mistakenly thought it was already uploaded by you. Sorry for that. > Also, this issue has been pending for 6 months!

Please take what I write below just as facts. I'm sorry for this issue being pending. First of all it is 3.5 months (not 6), secondly I have asked about your opintion on this matter without response and that explains more than 2 months. 18 Aug: Bug reported 24 Aug: Explained the situation and asked about your opinion. 7 Oct: Asked again as a reminder. 01 Nov: You responded. 01 Nov: I responded that it was not fixed in -6. ... 09 Nov: You provide the diff. ... today: I provide the backport. But yes it has been pending and I'm sorry for that. Life have been a bit busy lately though. // Ola > Cheers, > > Thomas > -- --- Inguza Technology AB --- MSc in Information Technology ---- / [email protected] Annebergsslingan 37 \ | [email protected] 654 65 KARLSTAD | | http://inguza.com/ Mobile: +46 (0)70-332 1551 | \ gpg/f.p.: 7090 A92B 18FE 7994 0C36 4FE4 18A1 B1CF 0FE5 3DD9 / --------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
