If 2.0.4 will include other significant changes besides the removal of the fonts, this is really not the time in the release cycle to be packaging new upstream releases to fix RC bugs that can easily be fixed in other ways. It would be far better, IMHO, to repackage the upstream .orig.tar.gz with the fonts removed, and upload to Debian without waiting for an upstream release that may not immediately be in releasable condition. > But for now I'm lowering *temporarily* its priority to have afterstep > 2.0.3 propagated into testing. In the future, please don't do this without talking to the release team first. (In this case, afterstep 2.00.03-1 has already been accepted into testing today.) -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
