If you think the following diff against Charles Upload is fine, I'd go with the upload in a couple of hours and things are settled. Just confirm that this is OK or tell me what other things should be reverted. It is fine for me to do so. Kind regards Andreas.

It is the stated policy of the release team that only release critical & important bugfixes, release goals, translation and documentation updates qualify for a freeze exception under the regular freeze. The deep freeze tightens this list more. Hence, this change has in principle already not been acceptable for freeze exceptions since months, although of course in individual cases the release managers could have decided that they would allow that case in. To me it's crystal clear that changes to something as fundamental as the package build system without a concrete bug to address, are not appropriate in the end of a release cycle; rather, something to be done at the beginning. As I understand it the best gain this change in the debhelper compatibility level at this point could bring us, is that the package builds just as well as with the existing level. So why did you do that now instead of after the freeze? cheers, Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The debhelper change, at this very very late stage in the release. Your
previous request was about a month and a half ago.

Ok, that's fine. Despite lots of whitespace changes / reindentation of
code, the actual diff seems ok. Could you upload to t-p-u with just
these changes and not the ones to the build system?

What's wrong, Debhelper or the typo? Most freeze exemptions I got so far (from
other release managers) included a Debhelper update.

Dear release team,
bioFOX 1.1.4 was so old that it did not work with Firefox 3. I updated it to
1.1.5 in Sid; we missed this release as Upstream changed the location of its
uploads.
bioFOX is a mozilla extension that contains most of its files in a .jar, so a
debdiff would not be very informative. Nevertheless, Nelson A. de Oliveira
prepared a diff of the chrome directory after the .jar file is unzipped:
http://people.debian.org/~naoliv/misc/debian-med/biofox_diff.txt
And here is the Debian changelog:

Since Upstream's changelog is "Updated links and fixed bugs", since version
1.1.4 is useless in Lenny and since 1.1.5 works well (I tested), I recommend to
update Lenny's package from Sid's one despite the increase of version number.
Have a nice day,
