Dear Stable Release Team, In April of 2013 (version 4.7j-7), I converted cproto to debhelper 7. In the process, I accidentally lost the only option I was passing to configure (--enable-llib). As a result, I disabled the -X command-line option. This means there is a functional regression between wheezy (version 4.7j-5) and jessie (version 4.7l-3), and the manpage is also wrong. (See bug #784719, filed yesterday.)
I will upload a fix to unstable sometime soon. I am writing to see whether it would be possible to fix this regression in jessie with an upload to proposed-updates-new. The only change I intend to make between 4.7l-3 and 4.7l-4 is to fix debian/rules to properly pass the --enable-llib flag. The changes between upstream versions 4.7j and 4.7l are minor and do not involve the functionality controlled by --enable-llib. So, the behavior in 4.7l-4 (proposed for jessie) should be the same as we saw in 4.7j-5 (wheezy). If you would like, I can provide a diff between the two upstream versions, so you can see the specific changes that were made. Thanks for your advice, KEN -- Kenneth J.
