Bug#485629: New upstream release

2009-10-10 Thread Sukant Hajra
Package: freemind
Version: 0.7.1-6
Severity: normal


Hi,

People sometimes get the impression that Debian doesn't update packages fast
enough largely because they install Stable, afraid of words like testing and
unstable without realizing that most everyday users will pull from testing,
unstable, or some combination with pinning.

However, in the case of Freemind, there /really/ is that slow progress people
talk about.  I hate to see little things like this get in the way of Debian's
reputation.

Is there some legitimate holdup, like a dependency that's got a licensing
problem?  Is there something I can do to help?  It's just Java, so I can't
imagine the distribution needs to be that complicated.  Anyway, I'm not a
maintainer (yet, at least), but I can help if help is needed.

Well, nice prose, but have you read the history of this bug?

Just waiting for the next release of FreeMind. Everything under control.
