Hi, There are more (also important) bugs than this which need fixing before this is a viable release. wx2.5 should be held out of testing at this stage while they are fixed so having this bug still open just saves me filing a separate one to keep it out. I can tag it pending if that helps, but as has already been observed this is fixed in the cvs where the next release will come from.
We've actually set a date for a 2.5.4 release upstream now, and I'm hoping it will be more viable than this one was. I would like to see this enter testing, having it do so in time to make stable would be icing on the cake, but at this stage these packages are barely out of experimental and are mostly to give early adopters like yourself an idea of how the package structure has changed since 2.4 etc. If they actually work for anyone other than me and the pgadmin team, that would seem to be a bonus. I don't consider them being kept out of testing as a 'hold up' at this stage, but rather a fair assessment of their suitability to be frozen. 2.4 is stable and perfectly suited to a cd pressing. 2.5 on the other hand has a good chance of both being obsolete and breaking binary compatibility before you finished making the iso. The next upload will close all existing rc bugs, and its chances at getting to testing will then be up to natural selection again, with a few more users to hopefully shake these things out a bit quicker than happened this time around. If there is something actually holding up development of your package, do let me know and I'll see what can be pushed ahead, but if it is 'just' that its being kept out of testing and is broken on a couple of arches, then wx has some bigger problems that need attention still if fixing these is to have any net affect on that goal -- having a different rc bug keep your package out of testing doesn't help much, and I'm trying to avoid playing 'whack-a-mole' here while we're busy working on stabilising big picture things upstream. Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear, but 2.5 is still very much 'bleeding edge' by any honest assessment and it's taking us a while to get everyone into the mindset that will see it stabilise. If you need something more than that, let me know and we should coordinate things with the other maintainers of dependent packages. cheers, Ron On Fri, Feb 04, 2005 at 04:07:41PM -0600, Micah Anderson wrote: > I see that a patch has been submitted and confirmed to be working in > December, but this bug is still open.
