Dear RMs the Grass team has released a few days ago the long waited final 6.4.0 version, developed since more than 2 years. The current version in sid/testing is a specific snapshot taken after 6.4.0RC6 and I counted 164 files touched in moving from it to 6.4.0 final.
Among them, 84 files are .po files and so potentially of interest for an update and a few other files are about .html and documentation changes. Some changes are mswin related only and other anes are related to projection data (not code). A few fixes are about the python interface, which is also NOW the default one. I'm still reviewing a few other changes but my general impression is that it is a reasonable improvement in respect with current squeeze version (i.e. fixes some glitches and does not break things) without big potential problems. Most of the changes can be converted in a non intrusive patch for current squeeze version, but the change in its default GUI (from Tk to WxPython) would require a complete change in current dependencies (Wx dependencies should become Required instead of Suggested and viceversa for Tk deps). So my guess is that we have to live with a pre-6.4 in squeeze which is essentially identical to the final 6.4.0, but for the default GUI. This is a pre-alert (and call for their comments) for RMs and an explanation for d-gis interested parties. A more complete reviewing is in preparation, along with a final upload to sid if other issues will not appear in the mean time. PS: the new upload will retain the r43239 tag anyway, which is a bit confusing, but does not require an annoying bounce of binNMUs... I will add some note about that in the README.Debian file. -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
