No. This is a point release, which missed the freeze deadline by just a few days. I've been too busy with my PhD work to do more than a few hours each weekend (sometimes each month) for the past six months. I have spent quite a lot of time testing it. Half the changes are manual page updates. The bulk of the other changes is switching the small /usr/[s]bin/sbuild-* utilities to use Getopt::Long for options parsing, adding --help and --version options amongst others. sbuild itself was already using Getopt::Long. I also rewrote sbuild-createchroot in perl rather than shell, which adds a number of new improvements and features, including setting up keyring checking when running debootstrap. > > This has a number of bugfixes, the most noteworthy being: > > > > #492327: [security] Allow APT package authentication > > #489794, #493325: [bugfixes] serious regressions resulting in breakage > > under certain circumstances > > If you really want those, prepare an upload to tpu containing only those > changes and not the few hundred lines of diff against bin/sbuild-*. I will if that is required, but there are quite a number of other bugfixes in the release that I would like to get into Lenny. Many thanks, Roger -- .''`.
