As a start, I've poked the Debian pkg-electronics team to request they package 2.4.0 (although I should really just have filed a bug). I've also asked that they try to keep the packaging churn down - as we're now in Feature Freeze for Ubuntu Lucid, I'll have to follow the Feature Freeze exception process to try and get a sync of 1.4.0 approved (once Debian package it). This involves showing diffs between the versions (e.g. all code changes), and justifying why the risk / reward of introducing the new package is beneficial to the distro. The fact there are very few non-bugfix changes is good. gerbv has no open bugs in Ubuntu.. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gerbv If some users had filed bugs which are now fixed in the 2.4.0, that would look better for the FFE process I think. I can't very well go filing them myself though.. as that might seem a little underhanded. If there is anyone on this list who uses Ubuntu (or has a Launchpad account), and has been affected by any bugs fixed in 2.4.0, please go ahead and file them on Launchpad!
