 Hi,

 as you might know or not, Debian lenny is frozen atm and new upstream versions
 are normally not allowed anymore to propagate from unstable (sid) to testing
 (lenny), which will become stable soon.

 Sadly, only sugar 0.81 is in Lenny atm.

 Do you think it's better to release Lenny with 0.81 sugar or without sugar at
 all? It doesnt really affect serious deployments, as one can always use
 backports.ort or other custom repositories, so I don't think a release
 without sugar would be as bad as it sounds at first.

 having well tested 0.82 packages be part of Debian could be attractive

 maintain locally, at least for now).

I agree. Sugar 0.81 was an unstable development branch leading to the
0.82 stable release series, which had multiple point releases of most
Sugar components. The best version to package is the latest 0.82.x
release of each component, as found at
http://dev.laptop.org/pub/sugar/sources/.

Since an additional repository would have to be used to get this on
lenny, it's probably best to not ship Sugar 0.81 at all unless you can
get an exception to get 0.82.x included. There would be frustration
for those who try to use Sugar out of the box without upgrading to
0.82.

 sugar |   0.81.4-1 |   testing | source, all


According to http://sugarlabs.org/go/Image:Sucrose-0-82-roadmap.png , no new
features were developed in sugar after 0.81.3, we were in a feature freeze
until the 0.82 release. All changes after then are translations or bugfixes.

There were, however, a lot of bugfixes.
