Hi Gianfranco,

I actually prepared 4.7.1 at pretty much the same time as 4.7! :-)
https://github.com/sten0/btrfs-progs/tree/debian/4.7.1-1_bpo8+1

I also just uploaded 4.7.1 to Debian mentors.

Will the deferred queue automatically drop the proposed 4.7.1 bpo in case a 
major regression prevents the sid package from migrating to testing?  From what 
I've read on the upstream list, the currently known regressions are the fault 
of linux-4.6.x rather than btrfs-progs.  I really hope I can find the time to 
learn formal Debian kernel packaging and package linux-4.4.x on github...but 
that's off-topic!

On a more closely related note, I've now met with two DDs in Montréal (Antoine 
Baupré and Alexandre Viau), and we've signed each other's keys.  Do you think 
I'm ready to proceed with an DM application for backports of btrfs-progs?  If 
so, would you advocate for me?  If not, what do I need to work on?

Cheers,
Nicholas

Hi,

can you please prepare a backport of 4.7.1 instead?
I can upload it on deferred/5, to see it go in testing in the meanwhile.
