I filed a bug report from your email.

I hope you are okay with communicating over github ?

1.5 certainly is reflecting many (personal) issues I had to deal with at that
time. :-(
It is sad that they plagued that release. I guess that is why I dropped my
intent to backport those fixes.

In between 1.5 and HEAD, a lot changed. And honestly, I haven't looked into
finding the fixes and backporting them. If you really are interested, you can go
that route. I'll be happy to review.


On the other hand, instead, do you think we should simply do a backport? Maybe
of the 1.7 release ? Then in that case, someone needs to test it (1.7 release)
well on Jessie ?
