Actually, the update is delayed for several reason: I was busy with the squeeze release from the Webmaster Team point of view, and the aftermath of it. But the most important reason, which made it impossible to just "squeeze" in the upgrade straight-forward is that upstream decided to remove the autotools support from the package. This means to completely overhaul the build process in the direction of either cmake or scons which both I'm not really familiar with. I tried to go the cmake direction but it seems like that one isn't really packager friendly so far (but I'm in contact with upstream to get that fixed), and I haven't yet had the chance to dig into how scons might actually go. You have to understand that building wesnoth is a job of well over an hour, and it easily starts to get depressing when one missed a tiny detail which only appears at the end of the build to be crucial. Said all that, 1.9 is, as you pointed out yourself, a development branch, so support for it isn't very high on my agenda of things to do when there are other more pressing issues around. Any help is appreciated to get it working, I've started to give it a try in the VCS repository already, so if you want to help out you are invited to give it a shot.
