** Summary changed:

- Please backport ttytter 2.1.0-1 (multiverse) from raring
+ [SRU] Please backport ttytter 2.1.0-1 (multiverse) from raring

** Description changed:

- Please backport ttytter 2.1.0-1 (multiverse) from raring to precise,
- quantal.
+ [Impact]
  
- Reason for the backport:
- ========================
- Versions prior to the one packaged in Raring Ringtail cannot access Twitter 
APIs since March 2013.
+  * No versions of the package prior to 2.1.0 can access Twitter as of
+ March 2013 due to the implementation of Twitter API 1.1
  
- Testing:
- ========
- Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the 
checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
+ [Test Case]
  
- You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
- $ backportpackage -u ppa:skellat/test -s raring -d precise ttytter
- $ backportpackage -u ppa:skellat/test -s raring -d quantal ttytter
+  * Attempt to access Twitter using version packaged in Precise or
+ Quantal.  Attempt will fail.
  
- * precise:
- [X] Package builds without modification
- [ ] ttytter installs cleanly and runs
- * quantal:
- [X] Package builds without modification
- [ ] ttytter installs cleanly and runs
+ [Regression Potential]
  
- No reverse dependencies
+  * The package version bump may adversely impact use of Identica and
+ other StatusNet sites.  Upstream noted that as of this version the
+ package no longer supports those Twitter-alike sites.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * The API change required a major re-write which means that grafting the API 
support onto earlier versions would not be supported by upstream and would 
create a severely unsupported fork
