Ok, agreed. However I feel that users, who are into game content development, always want to work with the latest version of a game. Therefore it might be reasonable to assume that they are also willing to download the sources from testing or unstable in the future and a fix for the next upstream release was acceptable. The current problem is that we would need another upload of src:megaglest too because otherwise the versioned dependencies on megaglest-data became out of sync. Given the fact that megaglest_editor and megaglest_g3dviewer already allow users to view and modify the existing content in megaglest-data, severity important might be an option too. If you feel strongly about this please go ahead and upload a new version of megaglest and megaglest-data. I have been experiencing some troubles with my internet connection lately and uploads have become terribly slow. Regards, Markus
