Well, I'm trying, but I'm in the middle of the git hell. I did my update work on a raw directory, not in a git dir. And now that raphaël forked the 0.46 branch under my feet, I'm falling... Anyway, I never pushed my work anywhere because it was not working. Some tests failed. So, I redid my work. I reran uupdate, and redid the work of changing the patches so that they apply to the new upstream tarball. The test suite still don't pass, I still have to dig in to see why. Help welcomed here. I pushed this into the 0.48 branch of the git collab-maint. If one of you could help me with the failed tests, that would be more than welcomed. > > > - go through open bug reports and forward them upstream as well > > > > > > > okay, will look at them. > > Well, we should first verify that they are not fixed in the new upstream > version... so getting some packages of 0.48 is important. Indeed. And after the package of 0.48 is done, one big task will be to get our changes accepted upstream. I tried a few years ago, but upstream seemed picky about the changes. We should definitely try it again, because we are kinda forking, which is not good. Bye, Mt. -- In some cases, there are health benefits to climate change.
