It doesn't seem unreasonable to me for the version of gsoap in Precise to be more than two years old, given that Precise itself was released nearly two years ago. In case you're unaware of it, please see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the policy regarding pushing updates to stable releases. If there's a specific bug to be fixed, we can do that if somebody prepares the SRU justification and a suitable minimal patch to packaging (eg. a quilt patch). > Recommend you release a later version to LTS. This is unlikely under the SRU policy, but please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports for an alternative option.
