People are on the case.. don't worry.

There were some patches ready to push the license fix, but Richard, who did those is holding off as I mentioned that Hamish promised 1.4.3 packages whilst he was at LCA. In any case.. we might be forced just to have the licence fix, rather than a new upstream version + license fix. > , and maybe throw in a fix for #507363 for good measure. That's not critical, and isn't something I expect they would want to change during the freeze. At least 1.4.0 -> 1.4.3 is just carefully back-ported (and well tested) code changes fixing crash bugs. Don't underestimate the likelihood of a "simple" packaging fix causing major breakage. Its always the last minute one-liner which breaks a release ;) -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
