No, I've not yet reviewed the changes in the new upstream version. Once I've reviewed the delta, I'll certainly let you know about any problems I find. Until then, yes - I don't know your work either and am not going to take your word for the correctness of the changes, and I'm not in a hurry to integrate that new version into Debian given that the greatest possible benefit is rather small. I do intend to work on this, but I'm not going to be persuaded to do this on someone else's time table or permit someone else to make the call that it's ready, because I consider ensuring the stability of this package to be my *central* duty as its maintainer. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
