Hi, I generally don't backport changes (even ones like this) from CVS into Debian releases until it's been "a while" since the bug was fixed and upstream hasn't yet made a release. This is because there are always a lot of ongoing changes in CVS, and many people ask for the changes to be propogated to Debian, making it difficult to keep up with requests. Besides that, upstream changes have been tested against the CVS version of other XMLTV code, not the version in the Debian package, often making QA somewhat problematic. I understand that Chris Butler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is planning on taking over the XMLTV packages soon (they've been up for adoption). He may feel differently about this policy and may want to make this change along with his first upload. I've CC'd him so he's aware of your request. I'm sorry to give you this answer -- I know it's not what you were hoping to hear. However, I hope you understand my motivation for this policy. Thanks, KEN -- Kenneth J. Pronovici <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
