This has been done. I've now uploaded 5.2.9-1, which is just 5.2.8 plus the Debian patches incorporated upstream and some translation updates and very minor bugfixes. If this could be allowed into testing, that would be much appreciated. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.

Have a look at http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html which is in DRAFT form until we freeze of an idea of what may be accepted.

This is done, but I found that upstream accidentally bumped the major version of the libgutenprint2 ABI. They are planning to release 5.2.9 with my patches for correcting the mistake. They should do this by the weekend, but it's possible this will miss the freeze deadline. It would be good to have a freeze exception for this--the work is all done and tested, just waiting on the update from upstream. I can apply my patches directly to the 5.2.8 release any upload now, or I could wait for them to release properly. > Additionally: > sbuild. I'll be working on this once the above two are done.

So it's important that the stable sbuild be able to support all the features needed during wheezy+1 (at least as far as that is possible). I definitely won't have this done for the freeze--I've got to get sysvinit fixed as a priority. It's functional as it stands, but could be better--there are quite a number of bugs I'd like to get addressed for wheezy. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

Pending freeze and packages pending upload
Hi, I'd like the following to be permitted to be uploaded for wheezy: schroot 1.6.0 This is just 1.5.4 in unstable with translation updates and a few minor bugfixes. This is the stable release intended for the wheezy release. gutenprint 5.2.8 This is a point release with a large number of new printer models being supported. It was released 2 days ago, but we've been waiting on it for months. Quite important for including with wheezy for contemporary printer support. I will package it this weekend. Additionally: sbuild. I'll be working on this once the above two are done. It's not had much work done on it over the last year due to lack of time finishing my PhD and moving jobs, but it does need some bugs fixing for wheezy. This won't have impact on anything else. It would be great if this could be considered for wheezy after the freeze starts because it's unlikely I'll have time until then to start work on it. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
