I guess we should consider sending patches to the maintainer.

Message-ID: <2fltwcj1emb.fsf@diskless.uio.no> Looking at Daala, I can't help but wonder if perhaps we should try to package it for experimental to get some experience with the source and packaging. What do the rest of you think? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen From pere at hungry.com Tue Oct 11 11:11:55 2016 From: pere at hungry.com (Petter Reinholdtsen) Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:11:55 +0200 Subject: Fairly good package status for pkg-xiph-maint In-Reply-To: <5c19b4d2-f771-ec3b-d0dc-33887f84b845@steghoefer.eu> References: <2fltwdklx76.fsf@diskless.uio.no> <2flwphf1esk.fsf@diskless.uio.no> <5c19b4d2-f771-ec3b-d0dc-33887f84b845@steghoefer.eu> Message-ID: <2flbmyrrvgk.fsf@diskless.uio.no> [Martin Stegh?fer] > I did read the email and followed your recent work on the Xiph packages > a little, but unfortunately I can't invest much time myself right now, > I'm sorry. Oh, sad to hear that, but I understand how it is. I do not have time to spend on the Xiph packages either, as there are other projects with higher priority at the moment. > Am I interpreting the freeze deadline right in that the most relevant > freezes are the Soft Freeze and the Full Freeze, and that therefore we > have approximately the rest of 2016 to get the packages into an > appropriate shape for the Stretch release? Kind of, but not quite. Those deadlines are mostly relevant for "leaf" packages without dependencies. As the xiph packages are mostly libraries that can affect other packages, we should avoid changing them close to the deadline in case they break other packages which then will fail to get a fix in place before it is too late. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen From martin at steghoefer.eu Tue Oct 11 10:52:56 2016 From: martin at steghoefer.eu (=?UTF-8?Q?Martin_Stegh=c3=b6fer?=) Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 12:52:56 +0200 Subject: Fairly good package status for pkg-xiph-maint In-Reply-To: <2flwphf1esk.fsf@diskless.uio.no> References: <2fltwdklx76.fsf@diskless.uio.no> <2flwphf1esk.fsf@diskless.uio.no> Message-ID: <5c19b4d2-f771-ec3b-d0dc-33887f84b845@steghoefer.eu> Hi Petter, I did read the email and followed your recent work on the Xiph packages a little, but unfortunately I can't invest much time myself right now, I'm sorry. Am I interpreting the freeze deadline right in that the most relevant freezes are the Soft Freeze and the Full Freeze, and that therefore we have approximately the rest of 2016 to get the packages into an appropriate shape for the Stretch release?

I will try to find some time during the next month to get some Xiph package work done. Cheers, Martin
