Hi release team I ask you for pre approval of a yaboot (Powerpc Bootloader) upload to testing-proposed-updates. The package in unstable unfortunately contains a new upstream version and is therefore not suitable for squeeze.
The upload would fix the following RC bugs: #572869 [S|+|=♔] [yaboot] installation-reports: PowerMac G5 installation report: ofpath doesn't work in the absence of /proc/scsi/scsi #580455 [S|+|=♔] [yaboot] lastest Sid upgrade breakes yaboot.conf and (maybe) ybin The proposed upload to t-p-u prepared by Milan Kupcevic is available at [1]. He also tested the new package on a wide range of powerpc subarchitectures. Along with this upload an upload of yaboot-installer to unstable is planned. This new version will take advantage of the new yaboot package and avoid errors with different device enumerate during d-i and in the installed system (see #605932). The proposed patch is in the BTS and also tested by Milan and several ppl on debian-powerpc. Do you approve these two uploads? Alternatively we could either upload yaboot with an epoch to unstable or you would approve to update yaboot to a new upstream version.
