AFAIK no backporting is required, the package just has to be rebuilt for 12.04. But it has to be approved for SRU (stable release update). It should be possible, because it meets the criteria ("Bugs which represent severe regressions from the previous release of Ubuntu. This includes packages which are totally unusable, like being uninstallable or crashing on startup. ")
We must do some stuff if we want it to get SRUed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . @dholbach: Can you tell me what minor changes you did? In summer I want to fix other thumbnailers, but I have absolutely no experience with debian packaging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of MOTU, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/852923 Title: gnome-raw-thumbnailer doesn't do anything To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-raw-thumbnailer/+bug/852923/+subscriptions -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
