That's lovely. I haven't even seen this bugreport and this discussion before now. This message #17 mentions "few "feature fixes"", which is completely wrong -- all these are real fixes for serious enough problems. I can only guess by "feature fixes" Adam meant the grep -w thing. It is not a "feature fix", it is a bugfix for incorrectly working grep -w, which already lead to a costly bughunting in another place which relied on correctly implemented grep -w. This has nothing to do at all with the freeze. The CVE-2013-1813 fix is indeed not really interesting (even while the fix is rather stright-forward, it isn't exactly a one-liner and is somewhat ugly) -- I thought we'd fix the CVE anyway, since this is a very specific subsystem and does not affect anything else. But the rest really should go to wheezy. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
