Hello Hans, In addition to the other maintainer's reply...
2012/10/7 Hans Joachim Desserud <deb...@desserud.org>: > Flare version 17.1 was release recently, and I see that the Debian package > was last updated for 15.1. v0.16 was released just after the freeze-for-new-stable. v0.16.1 released a few days after that, and there was a furious pace of updates after it was released, so v0.16.1 was deemed too unstable (and at the same time, already obsoleted) to be packaged at that point. v0.17 was released not 3 months after that, so v0.17 would not be in next stable anyway. During the freeze-for-next-stable we have to keep the packages in unstable "fit for release", to be able to fix problems and upload new packages as required for the next stable release. So if we package newer versions for unstable, maybe the package is not going to ship in stable altogether. So it's unfortunate, but unstable cannot be freely updated and it's kind of blocked during this freeze period, and it spans for quite a few months. Maybe we should use "experimental" especially during this times. What do you think, hennr? > In addition to new features and bugfixes; > Flare has a new homepage (http://flarerpg.org/) Unfortunately, the link to the webpage is tied to the information of the last upload, we cannot do much about that without uploading a new package.
