How involved would the changes required for 1.0.0 to be buildable against the new ocaml-dtools be? Liquidsoap 1.0.1 is a bugfix release that we have very carefully crafted to make sure that it would be a backward-compatible stable drop-in replacement for 1.0.0 users. The raw diffstat compared to the package that's currently in wheezy is 282 files changed, 3896 insertions(+), 2060 deletions(-) While that's not the largest we've been requested to review, it is quite large for a package that wasn't uploaded until after the freeze. Looking through the upstream changelog, there's quite a lot of things listed under the new heading, which are generally discouraged during a freeze. Some of the descriptions under fixes sound like unblock material, but I don't know the software well enough to know whether the others are. Given that the previous upstream release was eight months ago and the fact that the freeze would be in June has been known for the past year, would it not have been possible to have got the new version released / uploaded earlier? As it is, we're now in a position where we have to review all of the changes and decide whether they're okay. Therefore, we think it would be fine to unblock and migrate to the current testing distribution. I'd be worried if you didn't think so, given that you requested it. :-) However, at first (and third) glance the overall changes don't obviously appear to fulfil the published unblock criteria, so this is more of a request for an exception to those criteria.

I understand your concern. It was our initial plan to have a stable release just before the freeze. However, the release itself was delayed in order to make sure that we had properly tested backward compatibility and stability of the new changes, which is why it got stuck in the middle of the actual freeze. As both Debian maintainer of the package and part of the upstream team, I am positively convinced that this release meets the expected stability and functionalities for the next Debian stable release. Finally, since liquidsoap has no packages depending on it, unblocking its migration is of no risk at all for the distribution as a whole. If for any reason, you prefer to go with the current package, then we'll do our best to fix what needs to be fixed directly in the testing distribution.
