>The bugs like #593607 & #678289 are really awful and shouldn't enter Wheezy, The most awful bug was never reported to Debian BTS: pcmanfm which is in Wheezy currently can eat 8GB of memory in mere hour or few. In some unhappy conditions of course. Usual memory leak wasn't such big, only few tens of MB per hour. ;) Cleaning all those leaks took more than month and it's why I was a bit late to finish it before the freeze. >and I'm not sure whether a new upstream version (1.0.x) can be put into Wheezy: >http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html >https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/11/msg00003.html >but I hope Debian stands not for bureaucracy, but for stable usability ;) Latest upstream version is already 1.1.0 and few little bugs were found and fixed lately so bugfix version 1.1.1 will come very shortly, I believe. I've tried to get 1.0 into Wheezy in August but most of people said: since they never ran into any awful problems this may wait to after-freeze time. I would be happy to have 1.1.x in Wheezy though and I have the packages on my Debian Wheezy workstation which completely conform the Debian Policy and it works perfectly. In fact, 1.1.0 is included into latest Ubuntu release (most of those little bugs that I mentioned above came from their users) and many other distros included it too. So pushing it into Wheezy might be done easily but I really doubt it is possible. >Nevertheless, the maintainers should upload a new version into Sid -- to make >the >Wheezy users able to install an updated libfm/pcmanfm versions manually from >"unstable" with minimal efforts :) I add copy to LXDE maintainers mailing list just in case. There is an agreement with Daniel Baumann that 1.1.1 will be uploaded into Debian experimental repository as soon as it's released. AFAIK, the "unstable" repository is locked now due to freeze, isn't it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
