There can never be an obligation to do anything in Debian ;-) But we can at least push this as, if you may, a strong recommendation or position statement. Yes, not all of my packages are 1.9 enabled, and for some it might be a not-to-hard task. But I have found it is usually a trivial task. And if it's not, ok, I leave them as they are, 1.8-only. -- Gunnar Wolf • [email protected] • (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
