Public bug reported: I am requesting a Freeze exception for the Saucy package, despite the fact I didn't need one the last time this happened during the Raring cycle. I was told this package is not a "core package," and therefore is excluded from the Feature Freeze.
I'll be honest, this has been an annoying cycle for me. There was so much I had planned for the Saucy cycle, including gaining uploader rights (since I've been the one maintaining this package for the last many cycles). I've attached the Blueprint detailing the plan for the Saucy cycle. Also, Upstream hasn't released new upstream release since April, and I've been waiting for the relevant patches to pop up for fix build failures. My knowledge with the kernel itself is limited. Also, VMware's git repo hasn't been online for months. I'm requesting this because I've put a good amount of time into my current pending merge proposal (which is linked in this bug report). And I'd rather lose all this work that I've put time into testing (to see if everything works). I am also waiting for said new upstream release, so it can fix the remaining problems with the remaining modules (which are currently blocked from building with DKMS). The next proposal (with the new upstream release) will occur eventually.
