That is not helpful. The fact is that 6.10 landed in Debian too late for us to get it in for Jaunty. We will be able to get it in for Karmic, but there is a fair amount of work that goes into updating to a new version (rebuilding all dependent libs and applications), so if a new version is released later than FeatureFreeze it is probably not going to make it in. It is just a feature of our release model that we have to stabilise at some point.
We are not able to provide the latest crack all the time. Sometimes timing gets us, as happened here. Sometimes there's a lack of manpower. Sometimes there are technical difficulties. Often it's a combination. Jumping on maintainers does little to help, especially as we like to see new versions just as much as you do. -- [jaunty] Please sync ghc6 with latest upstream https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302149 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
