I just did that and I've added Electrum to the "Affected tool" drop-down list so it's easy to list all these tickets. >> A backport can be uploaded (and all such uploads will be automatically >> accepted once a first one has been manually accepted to a given suite) >> as soon as the package reaches Debian testing, so installing from >> backports does not add any relevant delay, except in the rare case >> when the timing of the migration to testing conflicts in the worst >> possible way with the Tails freeze schedule. >> >> Installing from Debian testing can definitely be a sane short-term >> option *but* this is brittle and can't be relied upon on the long >> term: at some point it's likely that the package from testing becomes >> uninstallable on stable due to new/updated versioned dependencies. >> So we install packages from testing only when we can be fully certain >> that whenever this happens, someone starts maintaining a backport >> immediately.

I've replaced "in testing" with "in stretch-backports" to encode more clearly the way forward I'm proposing. Note that this update might not be suitable for a bugfix release (that we release no RC for): we'll need to balance risk of regressions vs. urgency of supporting SegWit. >> Are you also interested in maintaining the Electrum integration into >> Tails (e.g. taking care of whatever needs to be done on incompatible >> config updates and similar Tails-specific glue)?

Good. Note that Electrum is currently shipped in Tails by default, and "Additional Software Packages" in the Tails context refers to a different feature: https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/configure/#additional_software :) Cheers, -- intrigeri _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
