Dear Adam, Tormod and Axel, thank you for your answers. Tormod said: >> Any changes in stable must "bake" in unstable first. Of course! I forgot about that. I love the commitment in Debian to create the most stable OS possible. Even if it is a line of code change, should "bake" on unstable

Bug#819703: Please fix stable version 5.30-1

2016-04-05 Thread Jamil Said Jr .
Dear Tormod, I read your email and my understanding is that only the unstable version 5.34 and beyond will be fixed? What about the stable version 5.30? Can you also fix that? I would be very disappointed if the stable version is not fixed. I work a lot with people with low computer skills, most

2016-04-04 Thread Jamil Said Jr .
I have not looked at the code, but this approach seems to me to have the smaller change possible and still completely solve the issue: At some point the code will compare the date of the version with the value that it has stored (I believe 18 months), and complain if the version is older. Why

Bug#819703: +1 not to remove. Fix the stable version

2016-04-02 Thread Jamil Said Jr .
First and foremost I am for fixing the stable version as soon as possible (by fixing I mean remove the offending warnings). The maximum priority here, in my view, it is to ensure that the people who depends on Debian stable can get rid of these rude and disruptive warnings (which will scare and

2016-04-01 Thread Jamil Said Jr .
In case you decide to remove xscreensaver from future Debian distributions, I have a suggestion: On whatever substitutes xscreensaver, I would like to suggest that you include the option to turn the screen "blank" in addition to "turn screen off" when the screensaver kicks in. Some screensavers

Greetings Bart, As I said earlier in the thread, this problem can be easily replicated (just do the simple bash script I did earlier in the thread and use it in a computer that needs to update the flash plug in - it stalls and fails). This should, in my opinion, convince you about looking into

Well, The maintainer will not look into it. I believe that there's something malformed or suboptimal on this package that causes this problem, and I believe that this problem may appear in other circumstances if not looked into and fixed. To be fair, however, there's a workaround that works (so
