Hi, $upstream = "Damien Sandras" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I am the maintainer of GnomeMeeting and recently $upstream contacted me and told me only version 0.12.2 of GnomeMeeting was available in stable && testing while 0.85.x has been released since and (long?) before latest 'stable' was released. Now I too am wondering why 0.85 never made it into stable / testing. I might have a clue tho. Since $upstream switched to Gnome2 with v0.9x releases of GnomeMeeting while I was still packaging v0.8x releases of GnomeMeeting, I decided it would not be nice to force all users of GnomeMeeting to switch to the Gnome2 version while Gnome2 at that time was very unstable and expirimental, so I created a new package called gnomemeeting2, which surprisingly brought people the Gnome2 version. At later stages of development, Gnome2 became more and more stable, and $upstream didn't work on the Gnome1 version of GnomeMeeting anymore, so bugs didn't get fixed, I decided to repackage the 'gnomemeeting' package with the Gnome2 version of GnomeMeeting and asked for the deletion of gnomemeeting2 from the archive. So it happened. Maybe this switch has to do with GnomeMeeting 0.85.1 not being in testing/stable? For example, if I check on auric: | [18:29] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] % madison gnomemeeting | gnomemeeting | 0.93.1-3 | unstable | alpha, arm, hppa, ia64, | m68k, powerpc, s390, sparc | gnomemeeting | 0.94.1-1 | unstable | source, i386 | [18:29] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] % It only lists unstable... Now, what I want to ask: Is it possible to get GnomeMeeting 0.85.1 in testing and maybe even stable? It has quite alot of bugfixes from $upstream, and even some package improvements and overal, GnomeMeeting 0.85.1 is better at supporting converstations with NetMeeting and other (newer) versions of GnomeMeeting. So, what do I need to do to get GnomeMeeting 0.85.x in testing and maybe even stable? I myself, and Damien think it's better for Debian to have v0.85.x. Please let me know. I am subscribed to this list.
