It's a judgement call. IMVHO we should not hold a major GNUstep update just for this, especially in the situation now (i.e. what will be shipped in Lenny). The goodness that the new GNUstep brings outweighs the loss, having in mind that this will be GNUstep for some users in the next 1.5-2 years. It would enable us to update Gorm, Project Center, SimpleAgenda and will be better as a whole for stable users. Releasing Lenny with the current versions would leave Project Center out, and will generate the familiar (true in some sense) rants "Debian ships an outdated stable release with obsolete GNUstep". "Resolving" the licensing issue for Debian means updating the meta-package and asking for removal or Terminal, Vindaloo (ViewPDF), PopplerKit, EdenMath and others and rebuilding GWorkspace without the PDF inspector. Of course we will reintroduce these packages when/if the problem is resolved. Sad and rather unfortunate, but that's how it is. We (or more precisely you as the leader and maintainer of the most important parts) have to make a decision and there is no time. > Yeah, there are a couple of build failures that I need to look into for > Renaissance 0.9.0 on powerpc and hppa. AFAIU the hppa build failure is an ICE, so it's a bug in GCC. The powerpc one smells like that too. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
