Well, (no offense implied) I am often puzzled at how people ask for "just the minimal fix" WRT complex software. It's like asking the garage guy: please replace my brake pads but DON'T remove the wheels!!11 I could try to do that but the the extract would still require significant code changes and involve the risk of breaking something you don't see coming in the beginning. Those three months of testing in Sid are IMHO more worth for software quality than some wild patching. > > Another option would be to ask for removal from testing, and > > maintaining this package in backports during the Wheezy lifetime. > > Since then two upstream releases were uploaded to unstable, and a RC > bug (#698466) was filed against the version currently in unstable > (it's unclear to me if the version in testing is affected), so I'm Nope, it's against another version in Experimental. And no, it doesn't affect Unstable or Testing. Regards, Eduard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
