Follow up: we managed to finish it a bit faster than I expected, and published it a few minutes ago. Some packages are already in the archive, but most of them are in the unapproved queue. As part of this work, I fixed gammaray FTBFS, and I will fix hedgewars FTBFS once the Qt packages land in proposed. -- Dmitry Shachnev -- Ubuntu-release mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
