Hey everyone,
I'm unsure who to ask for feedback so I'm emailing that list.
Is there anyone having an objection syncing make 2.82 [1] from Debian
experimental?
- the version is out of over 2 years
- it's in fedora for about 2 years
- it's in Debian experimental for a year
The new version fixes a stack of bugs, it seems Debian found an issue
they consider important (breaking compatibility in some cases), upstream
doesn't have the same opinion and documentation that with a "WARNING:
Backward-incompatibility!" in their NEWS, the bug didn't get any
activity for almost a year.
The reason I'm asking is because I ran into issues trying to update
webkit this week and build needs a make update (and a patch over the new
version) to build correctly, which let us with the options to update
make, or trying to backport fixes for it, or try to workaround on the
webkit side...
Is anyone here having a strong opinion on the topic? If nobody says to
not to do I will probably sync the new version for quantal
Thanks,
Sebastien Bacher
