No, a new release from the old-maintenance branch, which (to my knowledge) has incorporated the fixes from Ubuntu (AFAIK, there were no Debian-specific fixes). My apologies if I was unclear in specifying that the release I was talking about came from the same branch as that which is already in Debian. The dev releases are not quite alpha, but they are not releases that I would recommend be in Debian or Ubuntu unless they were packaged under a different name that was obviously known to be unstable. I'm not ready for that until the last feature is implemented, and even then, there will be a period of testing before I call it 0.8.0 and release it and welcome distributors to package it. You may want to check the branches on LP: https://edge.launchpad.net/alltray Which include the old-maintenance branch and its recent release, 0.71a, which is a bug fix release of 0.70. >> If there are any patches which remain to be applied upstream, I would >> like to be made aware of them so that they can be incorporated. > > The patches are in the debian/patches folder of the extracted 0.69-1ubuntu4 > source package.

As far as I am aware, 0.71a (again, not 0.7.{1,2,3,4}-dev, which is indeed a re-write; 0.71a is a continuation of the 0.70 line) incorporates all the fixes that were present in ubuntu. This is why I am confused at the sync request here, it doesn't make sense. Debian bug 566880 is, as I understand it, going to be resolved with an upload of AllTray 0.71a, which should _then_ be brought to Ubuntu (though if it comes to Ubuntu directly, that would also be fine---0.71a is a stable release with bug fixes from 0.70). In short (and this is just my 2¢ as the author of new AllTray and maintainer of the old AllTray source code), I don't think 0.70-1 should be imported from Debian. 0.71a should be available in Debian soon, and I suspect that will result in a package 0.71a-1, which would be suitable for inclusion in Ubuntu (as the 0.69 patches that I recall being in ubuntu had to be adopted and backported from the old-maintenance bzr tree in the first place, like the GTK tooltip/balloon fix).
