[DRE-maint] Bug#700754: redmine: Redmine does not work with ruby 1.9.x

[losinski at wh2.tu-dresden.de]

Package: redmine
Version: 1.4.4+dfsg1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

the redmine branch 1.x has a problem ith the version 1.9 of the ruby
interpreter. There is no "parsedate" anymore, but redmine uses it for its
graph timeseries. I reported this issue a long time ago to upstream [1] and
they've fixed it ithin the 2.x branch. The bugfix for the 1.x is equal and
relly simple. Please add a patch to the debian version.

Thanks, 
   Jan Losinski
