Hi,
any change we can get this approved on time for debian 9.4?
The current diff is nearly 20,000 lines, with a lot of effective
noise
like changing quoting on command invocation and logging, and s/OS
X/macOS/, which is really difficult to try and find real changes in,
and probably one of the reasons that people unfortunately keep not
finding time to deal with this request (which isn't an excuse,
but...).
I understand, there were a lot of minor and cosmetic changes in this
release,
but still it will be good to get it uploaded at some point as there is
some important
bug fixes see
https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice/blob/v3.6.4/CHANGELOG-3.6.md
We will eventually release 3.6.5 and we will be in a better position
if 3.6.4 is arlready
in stretch.
Unfortunately this managed to not make it onto anyone's radar for some
time again. :-| (and it appears that 3.6.5 was rleeased in the
meantime.)
One thing I did notice from a quick look through the packaging
changes
is that introducing new binary packages (i.e. the Python 2 bindings)
is
not something that is generally done within a stable Debian release.
Python2 packages were requested in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=855552
We can consider leaving this package out if that is an stopper.
It would be at this stage, yes.
Is this update (now for oldstable rather than stable) something you're
still interesting in persuing?
Regards,
Adam
