Because packages from backports are not installed by default, we prefer to only use backports as a way to offer new features, not fix bugs. Bugs in packages should be fixed through the SRU process (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates), so that all users of the package can benefit from the fix.
I'm going to go ahead and retarget this as an SRU bug. I'm happy to sponsor the fix; all I need from you is an isolated patch that fixes the crash, and a few sentences for each of the 5 points in step 2 of <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure> - you can put the writeup in the bug description. ** Also affects: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: oneiric-backports Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is the registrant for Oneiric Backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948117 Title: Please backport egenix-mx-base 3.2.1-1 from Precise to Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oneiric-backports/+bug/948117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
