Bug#851841: xonsh: jobs and backgrounding broken

[Gordon Ball]

As noted above, the bug severity was upgraded too late to stop 0.5.2
migrating.

There have been a series of releases since, and while this bug was
mostly fixed in 0.5.3 it appears there were still some edge cases.

The code is still fairly fast moving, and in the end I don't think it's
a good candidate for a stable release at this time; I'll aim to provide
a version in stretch-backports in due course.

It looks like stretch currently lacks xonsh at all, be it 0.4.7,
broken 0.5.2 or recent 0.5.6. Will any xonsh get into stretch?

Apparently I was too slow. It migrated only about an hour after I
increased the severity, which was too late for the RC bug to be considered.

Given the proximity to the freeze, I'm tempted to allow xonsh to be
removed from testing and provide a backport in due course when the
current branch has stabilised. Are there strong opinions otherwise?

That clearly did not work. 0.5.2+dfsg-1 is now in stretch.

Thanks for reporting.

I think I have to agree. I pushed the 0.5 series when it was released
thinking it would be a better base if patching was required in future,
but there do appear to be too many bugs which cannot be patched at the
moment.

I have upgraded the bug to severity:serious to prevent migration, so
stretch will get 0.4.7 and unstable will be updated when patches for 0.5
are available.
