There were some patches ready to push the license fix, but Richard, who
did those is holding off as I mentioned that Hamish promised 1.4.3
packages whilst he was at LCA. In any case.. we might be forced just to
have the licence fix, rather than a new upstream version + license fix.
If need be, I can finalize the packages get a sponsor within 24 hours.
It would be a NMU and I am not a DD, but the bugs are RC and there was
ample time for the maintainer to react, so hey.
Just say the word and I will get going.
Hamish: What is your take on this, if any?
, and maybe throw in a fix for #507363 for good measure.
That's not critical, and isn't something I expect they would want to
change during the freeze. At least 1.4.0 - 1.4.3 is just carefully
back-ported (and well tested) code changes fixing crash bugs.
Don't underestimate the likelihood of a simple packaging fix causing
major breakage. Its always the last minute one-liner which breaks a
release ;)
Personally, I would tend to split the fixes into as many packages as
possible so RMs can cherry-pick, anyway.
