Is this issue of sufficient import to warrant an explicit mention in the point release announcement mail, beyond the standard one-liner in the list of updated packages? I have to admit that I don't know how common TOAST tables are. Nevertheless, the upgrade also fixes other bugs [1], and as there have not been any regression reports so far, I think it is safe to allow 8.4.8 into squeeze now. I uploaded 8.4.8-0squeeze1 to the stable queue. It passes the upstream and postgresql-common integration test suite. The only packaging diff is the changelog. Thanks. Given upstream's past record I don't expect any particular surprises but I'd still like to find time to go through the diff in a little more detail. I can build an upstream debdiff if you want me to, but I suppose you generate those with debdiff on queue processing anyway? They're auto-generated by the queue processing tools once they spot the upload (so within 30 minutes of the upload hitting p-u-NEW). Manually generated diffs are more useful for allowing us to consider prospective changes before they get uploaded. :-) Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
