Re: please restore aplus-fsf in TESTING



Is there something else I need to do to get aplus-fsf back into testing?  I uploaded the fixed version 16 days ago, and AFAIK did everything in the "Rules to get your changes into Wheezy" section of the Wheezy freeze policy, but haven't seen any response or other change.  If the reason is that people are busy, that's fine; I just want to be sure the next step is not something I need to do.

Thanks.

Hi, d-r.

Several packages built from aplus-fsf source (aplus-fsf, aplus-fsf-doc, aplus-fsf-el, aplus-fsf-dev, xfronts-kapl) were removed from TESTING because there was a dependency on xemacs21-nomule, which in turn was removed from TESTING because of bug 670292.  Most of aplus-fsf does not require xemacs21-nomule, just the aplus-fsf-el package.  It appears to me that xemacs21 will not likely be restored, so in order to continue to make the rest of aplus-fsf available for users, I removed the functionality that depends on xemacs21-nomule from aplus-fsf, removed xemacs21-nomule from the Depends of the package, and uploaded that.  I restricted the changes to that plus the addition of a NEWS file that says the functionality has been removed.  Attached is the debdiff output for the source.

Since the bug 670292 is not in aplus-fsf itself but in the xemacs21-nomule package, I did not close it via the changelog.  I did file an unblock bug for aplus-fsf; it is 683831.

Thanks.
