Bug#835840: Bugs in Remmina

[Dark Penguin]

Have you actually tried either of them? I don't know how many bugs are 
in Remmina 1.1.2 and how many in Remmina 1.2.0, but my actual experience 
(I use Remmina a lot every day) shows that Remmina 1.1.2 is utterly 
broken and barely usable, while 1.2.0 works just fine.

Actually, I notice this kind of things more and more lately. Debian 
Stable is becoming the most unstable distro because nobody is interested 
in fixing bugs for software this old - and for some reason, even the 
most obvious bugs have not been fixed before the release. In the newer 
versions, all those things have been fixed years ago, but those fixes do 
not make their way into stable. I don't have anything against old 
software, but not buggy software, and it's called "stable" because it's 
supposed to actually be stable. I've been using exclusively Debian 
Stable for many years, but seems like it's time to abandon ship because 
of this tendency. (Why is it that Remmina is "not yet stable enough", 
but systemd is?.. That's what most of those problems are with...)

By the way, I'm not using FreeRDP - only Remmina, for VNC. And no, 
Remmina does NOT "depend" on FreeRDP - you can run it without FreeRDP. 
So maybe it would be an acceptable solution to package Remmina 1.2.0 as 
a separate package called "remmina-next", and not package the "unstable" 
FreeRDP at all?..
