Bug#672809: taxbird: version in testing (0.16.x) is completely useless
Hi again, Toni Mueller wrote: well... I may have screwed up since I'm running that version on my computers, but as I wrote, you can find this version at p.d.o/~toni. I did already file a bug to notify the maintainer and asked whether he wanted to import it, but got no answer yet. But I'm determined to get this 0.18 version into Debian, somehow... 0.18 is in Debian sid. Based on [1] the release team would be happy to see this fixed in squeeze, provided the changes are sensibly small. If I understand correctly, that means preparing uploads for libgeier and taxbird intended to build and run in a squeeze environment, with version numbers like 0.18-0+squeeze1, as described at [2] (and corrected by [3]). Would you like to pursue this? I would be happy to help in any way I can.

You should use an appropriate version number for a squeeze update. Then we can provide the source and binary debdiffs that the release team has requested. If they like it, we can ask Marvin to upload it to stable or can do a non-maintainer upload. Note that I can't easily test it myself --- I am in the US, where there's an entirely different tax submission process. I just generally prefer for there to be fewer serious bugs in squeeze.

Looking at the differences between libgeier 0.11 from wheezy and 0.13 from sid, I see: 1. stopped shipping .la files 2. updated Standards-Version 3. added debian/source/format 4. added build-arch and build-indep targets 5. fixed build-time dependencies 6. new upstream release Only changes (5) and (6) seem relevant for squeeze; the rest should be left out. Would you be able to prepare a package along those lines, so it can be included in stable?

Would you be able to prepare a package along those lines, so it can be included in stable? Might be, but atm, that is not a priority for me, as I have other, more urgent, packages to tend to as well, and the backported packages are already there, directly installable on Squeeze.

Anyone interested in a fix (e.g., the package maintainer, other users) can work on the same.

Bug#672809: taxbird: version in testing (0.16.x) is completely useless
Package: taxbird Version: 0.18-1~bpo60+2 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Justification: renders package unusable Hi, the 0.16 version of the package can only do tax declarations for 2011, and is thus entirely useless for anyone who wants to use it for taxes in 2012. I think it would be a shame if Wheezy would release with a package that is so useless right from the start. Please consider grabbing my version from p.d.o (see #663656), or see me NMU it at the latest at freeze time.
