[Debian GNUstep maintainers] New GNUstep releases

[Yavor Doganov]

So... what shall we do for squeeze?  The current situation is really
frustrating :-(.

I think we should definitely try to release with the newest, not only
because they are labeled as "stable" -- there are lots of good API
additions and bugfixes that application developers are going to rely
upon.  What we have now (heck, we don't even *have* it, given that
gui/back is only in experimental) is already obsolete.

But we have to be careful not to make the situation worse, so I
suggest the following:

Make 2.4.0: Upload to sid right away, no transition involved.

Base 1.20.0: Upload to experimental (for now).  This would allow us to
test all packages and judge whether to go on with a 1.19->1.20
transition.  If we decide not to do so (for whatever reason), this
will not prevent an upload of gui/back to sid (base will remain in
experimental for a post-squeeze transition).

GUI/Back 0.18.0: I'll prepare the packages once the new releases are
out, and after we upload -base/1.20.0, but will not upload at all.
Instead, I'll put them in a public location so that we can all test
the whole GNUstep stack.  If we can manage to deal with all breakages,
we can then upload gui+back to experimental and update the release.d.o
bug with the new information (i.e. the preparation for base 1.19->1.20
and gui 0.16->0.18 transitions).

What do you think about the plan?  Does it sound good?
