Given the size of the debdiff for this new upstream version, I'm very
pessimistic that the release team will grant a freeze exception for
this package which is why I was rather suggesting to provide the
updated version through a Stretch point update or Stretch backports.

I am crossing my fingers nontheless.

Hi again,

Errata corrige: I've actually uploaded to unstable. Let me know if
you're happy with that, I'll ask the release team to let it enter
testing.

Cheers.

2017-04-16 Thread Alessio Treglia 
Hi John, Julien,

I've just uploaded libmtp 1.1.13-1 to experimental, I've tested the
package and it seems that it sorts out all issues with Android newer
releases.
Julien, please test it and report back to me, if you're happy with the
fix I'll upload it to unstable and handle all the boring bureacracy
the get it promoted to testing.

Cheers!

Hi Adrian,

Okay, in that case let's use it for a BPO and a future stable-updates
stuff. But over time it will impact more and more people as 40% of Android
users are already on Android 6+.

Below is a tab on an article (sadly in French) which sums up this fact :

Hi Julien!

Thank you for your bug report.

While I agree that it is unfortunate that the current version of libmtp is
outdated and does not support recent Android devices, I disagree about the
stance that the package is "unusable". The package works fine "as is" and
the fact that not all modern hardware is supported by a Debian stable release
is expected. And since Debian testing is currently frozen, there is little to
no chance that libmtp can be updated before the release.

If you still want to try to get the package updated, it would be helpful if
you could provide a debdiff with the changes between 1.1.12-1 and 1.1.13-1
of libmtp. You could then ask the release team for an exception to get libmtp
updated before the Stretch release.

In case updating libmtp before the Stretch release should not be possible, it
will still be possible to provide an updated version of the library through
strech-backports or in one of the Stretch point updates.

Thanks,
Adrian

Package: libmtp-common
Version: 1.1.12-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

libmtp should be upgraded to version 1.1.13 as it renders many recent
smartphone unable to mount.

Issue is reported there :
https://sourceforge.net/p/libmtp/bugs/1625/

Many Android 6+ smartphones are actually affected, and users cannot mount them
at all.
