Bug#593299: barnowl: CVE-2010-2725

2010-08-17 Thread Sam Hartman 
Will upload 1.6.2.

I guess I should do something about testing too.  I'll ask -release if
they will permit 1.6.2 into testing but kind of expect a no answer, so
I'll proabably need to prepare something for tpu.

they'll usually grant exceptions for RC issues, and i've seen a couple
other 'new upsteams' get unblocked since its still very early in the
freeze.
