Please unblock package xboard
xboard 4.8.0-1 still uses the old xaw interface and I'd like to upload a
new version 4.8.0-2 to use the new gtk interface. This change has been
requested by upstream because of several bugs with the old interface,
for example some input fields do not work (I don't have any bug report,
sorry).
Would this be allowed to go to jessie?
The only changes between -1 and -2 is that XBoard is now built with
--with-gtk, and it has a new Build-Depends on libgtk-2.0-dev. I haven't
uploaded this new version yet.
Thanks for considering,
Vincent
