The diffstat from 7.0.27 to 7.0.28 is 69 files changed, 442 insertions(+), 238 deletions(-) Excluding boinc-manager, it is 59 files changed, 217 insertions(+), 165 deletions(-) which is approaching a more reviewable size. Extracting the bugfixes still seems simpler, but if all unimportant changes are unrisky it might be possible to sell the release team on just using the updated upstream version. (Disclaimer: I haven't reviewed the diff for myself.) Steffen also wrote: > please ask the release team to allow the next upstream-declared > "suggested" version in. Presumably meaning 7.0.4x or 7.1.0. I fear that will be too large of a change. Thanks, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
