Short message: please find xournal 0.4.2.1 in toshiba-tablet ppa
https://edge.launchpad.net/~toshiba-tablet/+archive Please test and report. For the MOTUs out there: I attach a debian/watch file, you know what to do with it, it works like a charm. Also I will attach the debdiff but please don't ask me to do bureocracy like using REVU, I already stealed 30 minutes from my ph.d. thesis and it's enough. Long message: Denis: I agree with you that the bugfix cycle in ubuntu has gotten far away realistic limits, however, xournal is a "universe" package, meaning that the "MOTU" are responsible for them. The MOTU is a big, and a reasonably open team in which one can enter after a while cooperating with ubuntu. Their activity should be triggered by bug reports, however since there are too much bug reports it is triggered by various events, such as an user attaching a patch _and_ going to IRC bothering some MOTU. What this means in the end is that the true responsibility for small packages like xournal has been (at least, in the last two years) almost completely given to users. However, we also have debian maintainers, since syncs with debian unstable of the "universe" section happen before every release. This is the case for xournal in hardy. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/xournal xournal in sid is still at 0.4.1 version, that's the problem. Proper maintenance of the package in universe would mean 1) prepare package for new version, 2) signal to debian, 3) wait for the new package to enter sid, 4) port to ubuntu. In the past, I've seen new releases directly in ubuntu but I don't know what's the current attitude. Said all this, I created the toshiba-tablet team in order to keep things up-to date. Please Denis, subscribe to that team, it will not cost you a cent but will bring you closer to the matter. And thanks for your impressing work. The new shape recognition in xournal kicks *ss, guaranteed :) Vincenzo ** Attachment added: "watch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14580210/watch -- Annotation tools are broken in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
