Bug#862173: jessie-pu: package offlineimap/6.3.4-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: jessie
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Dear Release Team,
I would like to update OfflineIMAP in jessie, to fix the #859478 RC bug.
Backporting the fix from newer versions of the software is too invasive,
so instead I have added a WARNING message, that will prevent users from
using the broken functionality. For more information, please see the
related bug report.
Best,
