** Description changed:

  I'd like to ask for a feature freeze exception for an upload of the new 
python-foolscap version 0.6.1.
  An update of the package is required due to the recent twisted 10.2 upload 
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/twisted/10.1.0-2)
  which is not completely compatible with foolscap (details in  bug 724837).
  
  The difference between the new version and the packaged version are mainly 
bugfixes and only few new features (changelog attached).
  There was one api change in 0.6.0 but that has begun in 0.5.0, the packaged 
version is 0.5.1 so dependent packages (ipython, tahoe-lafs) should have 
migrated by now.
  I checked ipython and it is migrated.
- the tahoa-lafs is up to date with upstream so also there should be no 
problems (although I am still waiting for a verification from tahoe-lafs 
maintainers).
+ the tahoa-lafs is up to date with upstream so also there should be no 
problems.
  
- So I see no real blockers for the new version but alternatively I could
- also only backport the fix for twisted 10.2 to the existing version.
- 
+ I propose three routes which make sense:
+ - sync with a complete repackage of foolscap 0.6.1 done by my using newest 
debian python policy currently under review. It should get uploaded within this 
week
+ - minimal repackage of 0.6.1 using existing packaging practice, see branch 
https://code.launchpad.net/~jtaylor/ubuntu/natty/foolscap/foolscap.0.6.1
+ - backport of the fix and remain with 0.5.1
  
  Please decide on which route to take at this stage of development.
