I'm still learning about the Ubuntu processes, so I may be wrong, but it seems to me that this version update falls squarely under the "FeatureFreeze for bugfix-only updates" section of the page you linked to, and therefore does not require an exception request.
I have diffed the Unison source tarballs for 2.40.63 and 2.40.65, and found that only three files are different: * strings.ml (the root cause of the bug, it contained an empty array in 2.40.63 and now looks properly generated) * NEWS (it was also incorrectly generated in 2.40.63, and now looks properly generated) * mkProjectInfo.ml (two line changed: the revisionString variable was updated, and a blank line was added at the end of the file) I don't have experience in building packages in Debian and Ubuntu, though I can certainly test a few .deb files (both i386 and amd64). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian OCaml Maintainers, which is subscribed to unison in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/949895 Title: Unison 2.40 doc is missing Status in “unison” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unison” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu release: Kubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta i386 Package version: 2.40.63-2ubuntu1 Most likely, this does not depend on the Ubuntu flavor being used or the front-end used to install Unison, but just in case, here is what I did this morning: * Boot Kubuntu 12.04 Beta 1 i386 install CD * Enable updates from universe * Use Muon to Install Unison * Start Konsole and try unison What works: * unison * unison -help What does not work: * unison -doc topics * unison -doc all * unison -doc <whatever> Note that only version 2.40.63-2ubuntu1 is broken (both unison and unison-gtk packages). The two older versions available in 12.04 LTS work fine: 2.32.52-5ubuntu1 and 2.27.57-4ubuntu1 (again, both unison and unison-gtk packages). In the accompanying screenshot montage, you can see: * unison 2.40 on the left, with the bottom of the "unison -help" output, the "unison -doc topics" empty output, the "unison -doc all" empty output. * unison 2.32 on the right, with the bottom of the "unison -doc all" output and the expected "unison -doc topics" output. * unison 2.27 in the middle, with the bottom of the "unison -doc all" output and the expected "unison -doc topics" output.
