Hi,
Upstream is planning on releasing Gnus 5.10.8, and No Gnus
version 0.4, in a couple of days. I am soliciting comments on how
Gnus packaging should be done for Debian.
Sid already contains No guns 0.3, but sets the version as
5.10.6+<blargle> . Shipping Gnus 5.10.8 would essentially mean that
people running Sid would have a downgrade, and is probably not
desirable.
If we ship No Gnus 0.4, the issue is again one of numbering,
the reason upstream skipped 5.10.7 is because of us shipping No gnus,
in part. I would like to prevent these in the future.
So, we have either forcing people running Sid's Gnus to
downgrade from No Gnus 0.3+ to 5.10.8, of ship an unreleased version
and complicate versioning for future releases. Not a clean path
going forward. I am inclined to continue to ship No Gnus, and
hopefully Emacs and Gnus shall release soon, or at least before etch,
and then etch would release is Gnus 5.11.
