Bug#592835: 2.04 available + menu patch + debian/ modernization
Package: transmission Is there anything hindering an upload of 2.04 to unstable? I don't care so much about the patch presented by Barak (no offense) as about being able to upgrade to vanilla 2.04.

I don't care so much about the patch presented by Barak (no offense) as about being able to upgrade to vanilla 2.04. What's your reason for the upgrade? Are you being hit by one of the bugs closed in 2.04? I haven't tried to negotiate a freeze-exception with the release team for the new version because the lack of bugs complaining about the issues fixed in this release seems to indicate they're not very important, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I could try backporting most - if not all - of them.

However, I thought that just affected the migration of packages from unstable to testing? I use testing and am comfortable with installing packages from unstable. I'm not after getting 2.04 into squeeze. What's your reason for the upgrade? Are you being hit by one of the bugs closed in 2.04? No. Upstream asked me to verify whether a certain bug still exists in 2.04 and I was only able to confirm that it still exists in 2.03. -Julian signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

That is correct, however, once a new version has been uploaded to unstable, it means any security issue or RC bug in the version in testing will have to be fixed with a direct upload to testing, which is sub-optimal. So it's preferable to keep the versions in unstable and testing in sync during a freeze. No. Upstream asked me to verify whether a certain bug still exists in 2.04 and I was only able to confirm that it still exists in 2.03. Ok, that's a valid reason. I'll try to upload the new version to experimental this weekend. Should help you out without causing unnecessary issues with the freeze.

Experimental is cool, too. Thanks. -Julian signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
