Please don't take it this way. I've also wrote that I was comprehensive since the release team has so much work. > #750010 has been waiting > for you to reply since September *last year*. I opened this one on 31 May 2014, and only got a reply on 20 Sep 2014, then I focused on the newer release of Debian rather than the older. Sorry, I should have write about it in the bug report. > #719632 also has questions > to you from Moritz dated December 2013 that don't appear to have ever > received a response. Well, I still had no reply from the release team about this update. I was hoping to get a first approval, get the update done, then work on the next step (ie: reply to Moritz and check for the other CVEs). So those 2 examples are also showing my lack of motivation for doing these upgrades after a reply from the release team which was quite long. BTW, we're now way past the support of OpenStack Essex, which for a long long time, has lost security support from upstream. Even OpenStack Icehouse, currently in Jessie, has no support upstream, and I have to do security fix backports by myself. Doing them for a package which is 2 years older (so, 6 releases before what's currently supported) is too hard. So I'm not working on this old version of the package anymore, but only on what is currently in Jessie and Sid. I hope you understand why. At this point, therefore, it is my view that #750010 and #719632 should be closed without further action, unless someone steps in to do the work. It is my view that all of this is very frustrating from all sides. :( Let's all of us try to make things better. Could you approve or reject this update for Swift? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
