Please note that we are very resistant in applying such patches ourselves, as we'd have to maintain them forever. It's a lot better to engage in a discussion with upstream, and at least file an upstream bug with the patch as well, so that it can eventually go there.
Also, the patch is not complete, as it doesn't update the manpage accordingly. Doing so will also invalidate all existing translations of the manpages, all these problems that you have if you do downstream patches. So to be frank, I don't expect this to be applied anytime soon. I subscribed ubuntu-sponsors, though, perhaps someone has a better connection to gzip upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152349 Title: gzip does not provide keep input files option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gzip/+bug/152349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
