Request (short):
Please, allow jedstate_0.5.4.transitional.1-1 and
jed-extra_2.2.1-1.etch.1 in testing.
Rationale (long):
Jedstate is a JED add-on which allows the recalling of the cursor
position when a file is revisited in a future session of the JED editor.
The functionalities of jedstate have been superseded by the gdbmrecent
module in the jed-extra package.
Moreover, there has been no sign of upstream activity in jedstate, its
original maintainer orphaned the package half a year ago, and jedstate
is severily broken as regards the current JED initialization system
(Bug#406815).
I decided then to make the Debian JED Group adopt the jedstate package
and transform it into a transition package to allow users migrate their
jedstate database into the new gdbmrecent database. I uploaded
jedstate_0.5.4.transitional.1-1 to unstable, which contains no
"upstream" files (i.e. *.orig.tar.gz is empty). It provides only a Perl
script (jedstate-to-gdbmrecent) which does the migration above. This new
version of the pacakge also Recommends: jed-extra.
While testing my personal translated database with the gdbmrecent I
discovered a bug in the jed-extra package. I prepared the version of
2.2.1-1.etch.1 of jed-extra for inclusion in etch. The changes are
minimal, essentially the inclusion of
debian/patches/gdbmrecent-clean-stack.dpatch. The diffs between 2.2.1-1
(the version currently in testing) and 2.2.1-1.etch.1 are attached
below.
Thanks in advance,
