Hello Adam,
please accept my apologies, I forgot my obligations too long.
From the list of packages which I maintain, "wims" is the only with a RC
bug, which was raised by Andreas Beckmann. This bug is fixed in testing
and in unstable now, but Andreas raised it again because it is not fixed
in stable.
I proposed, as an update, a backport of the last version of wims to
squeeze with the version number 4.00-4+squeeze1.
This package does not seem to be referenced from
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
I must clear this bug for Debian's version upgrade, and there are two
ways to do it:
- either ask you to accept the new package wims_4.00-4+squeeze1 which
closes the bug report,
- or ask for removal of the package wims from squeeze, and manually
close the bug report.
In both cases, the bug #574235 will be cleared, and wims users will be
happy (me too).
Which is your mind? Would you accept a new submission of the package
wims for squeeze?
Best regards, Georges.
