Hi all,
I have already filed the request in
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=117126 but have heard
nothing if the
request has been denied or not. I did read the readme before posting
it does have gtkmm 2.6.0 whereas in the breezy-backports
as well as dapper packages its gtkmm 2.4 which is there.
I talked with the developers of Gparted they said that
Gparted 0.2 would be in the dapper release. I want to help with
bug-testing of Gparted either with Breezy or Dapper. Breezy
preferable
as it's stable. If the backport is possible then plz. accept the
request
or deny it.
If there are any people who would be doing the backport plz.
let me know as when this can be done so I can inform the
developers as
well as look forward to update the gparted as when that happens.
Sorry if things appear confusing. A noOb :)

Hi John,
Thanx for answering my query. Does that mean I need to again
file the request at launchpad.net or what? Although I've seen the site
it's a good-looking site but very buggy. Although I had registered
before it didn't like the password, hence did the reset. I had to try to
register the new password atleast 3 times before it reigstered then
gave a timeout error with a reference number. Also finding things as how
bugs are to be filed for launchpad itself is difficult.
AFAI understood Malone is the product to file bugs, there
launchpad doesn't have a corner. Also while searching for a package name
it doesn't throw up package names. Also the wiki
https://wiki.launchpad.canonical.com/ isn't helpful to people
who're new to the game. I like Gnome's bugzilla much better, much
cleaner usable.
Went to https://launchpad.net/malone/distros/ubuntu on the
extreme right hand side it just shows up release bugs
of Dapper,Breezy, Hoary Warty in a logical way. Would like if we
have a corner saying Breezy backports or something to
that effect which is easy in case if requests have to done there.
Lots of things need to be cleaned
up. Seems it's pretty much in its infancy (launchpad) another 6-7 months
to come to a usable state I guess. In case if somebody has been doing
some bug triaging of launchpad itself would like
if can send me a mail off-list. Thanx in advance.
