Please unblock package tcsh. Compared to the version in testing (6.17.00-3), tcsh 6.17.02-3 has quite a lot of changes, but many of them were the result of me adopting the package and pushing many Debian bugs and patches upstream. >From the changelog: * Merged patches: + 01_build.1.patch + 06_man.patch + 10_hurd.patch * Removed patches: + 02_fix.patch - no longer needed + 12_unknown_lscolors.patch - upstream says: "rejected - will not apply now, I'd rather see the error and fix $LS_COLORS than eat it up silently." * Bug fixes: + "Crash with autoexpand and no histchars" (LP: #96490) + "tcsh history file fails to save commands with "!" properly" (LP: #139537) + "tcsh's sending of HUPs to children is broken" (Closes: #314641) + "tcsh doesn't support CR/LF end-of-lines in some cases, contrary to csh" (Closes: #462346) + "complete.tcsh bug in postmap" (Closes: #552632) Version 6.17.02-1 was uploaded to experimental on 2010-05-18, because it was supposed to be an upstream prerelease that would be followed by a new "real" upstream release. This never happened, so I finally uploaded 6.17.02-3 to unstable. I think that 6.17.02-3 should go to testing, because: - it will be much easier to support due to the reduced number of Debian patches - it fixes quite a lot of bugs, some of them important - it already received some testing (3 months in experimental, then unstable) - users are usually quick to report tcsh bugs, as it's quite critical software for them :-) It's very likely that we can shake out all the bugs before the release. unblock tcsh/6.17.02-3 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
