[Pkg-trac-devel] please release 0.11.1 for Debian packaging

[Luis Matos]

Hello Again!

In 15th August i sent an email [1] pointing out the need for a new trac
release in debian's sake :)

In debian trac is group maintained by the debian pkg-trac group [2], in
witch i am the lead maintainer (even though Otavio makes my uploads).

Debian's release is planned to happen by September, but the freeze (the
end of new uploads and bug count drop) will happen in the next week.

So, with the lead Trac Debian Package Maintainer hat on, i came by this
mean request a bugfix release for trac 0.11 so that we can have all the
current fixes to this version shipped in debian (debian releases are
anually).

Debian tries to be the most reliable linux distribution in terms of
security and stability.

The importance of debian for trac is shown by popcon [3] where we can
see  that debian's trac package has more than 1300 installations [4]
(submissions to popcon are optional).

So i think as a commitment to those users, you should collaborate with
debian and release 0.11.1 "for debian", by the end of this week.

In this way, i can package an upstream approved version (and not some
svn revision) before the freeze.


Thank you all

The Debian Packaging Team
