Hi, I've been refraining from sending any patches on this subject since this thread started. I'd like to start sending them again so that both Debian and Ubuntu can benefit. However, I'm not sure whether this thread has reached a resolution such that I can do so.
Please allow me to attempt to answer my own questions. On Mon, 2008-07-07 at 16:29 +0100, James Westby wrote: > Therefore I'd like to ask a few questions: > > 1.

I realise that any bugs I file now will have to sit unfixed until lenny is released (ignoring experimental). Is that going to be a problem? I hope that maintainers won't mind having one extra bug with patch open on their package during a freeze. I would post a dd-list of the packages affected, but I don't have a complete list available to do so. I would obviously prefer to just submit these patches individually (and allow others to do so), is submitting the list up front a hard requirement? dev-ref requests it, but isn't clear.
