Right, though it's not as if the freeze came suddenly. As all, but a very few, packages in NEW were processed till about a week ago, having the package in NEW is a non argument IMHO. > I'd like to request a freeze excpetion based on the following: > > - relatively low popcon count (50; few users affected) > - the packages have been tested by the primary users (Athena Captial > Research) without reported issues > - tbb has no r-deps (except for amongst its own binary packages) > - The package has a history of being relatively bug free You failed to point out what's wrong with the current version in unstable/testing... This probably won't be accepted a freeze exception. Cheers Luk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
