megabyte405: can someone look at the abiword package?
[18:41] megabyte405: I've really worked to address all the concerns mentioned, and I believe it's ready to go

[18:41] pitti: megabyte405: we are in ultra deep-freeze mode now, that makes it extra hard to do such intrusive changes (just as a warning)
[18:42] slangasek: soren: ...oh
[18:42] megabyte405: pitti: I am aware of that. However, it's just changing one package (nothing depends on Abi), and this has been in progress for some time, and it's been approved. Someone just needs to see that the package is in good shape - that's already been done, and I've addressed all concerns that they brought up
[18:43] persia: megabyte405: Do you have a bug number for the discussion?
[18:43] pitti: megabyte405: right, and up to a week ago this wouldn't have been a problem; but the closer we get to the release, the harder it gets to update it, and since yesterday we only take mission-critical bug fixes
[18:43] pitti: megabyte405: too bad that the timing sucks so much now
[18:43] pitti: megabyte405: we shuold try hard to provide it as an update to hardy, though
[18:43] megabyte405: bug 202174
[18:44] ubotu: Launchpad bug 202174 in abiword "Please update to version 2.6" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/202174
[18:44] slangasek: megabyte405: the trouble is that now, any packages that we accept, we have to wait for them to get built and then rebuild any CD images that the package is on
[18:44] megabyte405: I don't think we're on any cd images
[18:44] megabyte405: perhaps just Xubuntu, actually
[18:44] pitti: megabyte405: they are on the DVDs
[18:44] seb128: xubuntu is using abiword no?
[18:44] pitti: xubuntu too, right
[18:45] pitti: megabyte405: in three months we'll have a point release (8.04.1); releasing it there would still provide most of the benefits, without breaking the 8.04 release now; WDYT?

[18:45] megabyte405: I can do the final changelog merging right now if someone takes a peek at that debdiff and sees that I didn't break anything since the last review, of which I am confident
[18:45] megabyte405: I'm really, really concerned with having 2.4.6 in hardy

[18:46] megabyte405: There was a lot (and I mean a lot - 2.5 years of branch) of cleanup, some of which might have resolved unseen security bits. I know we did make some changes to use standard structures instead of homebuilt stuff (STL vector instead of our own vector class, etc)

[18:48] pitti: megabyte405: but even the current testing showed some problems and regressions (scrolling AFAIK?), so we'd have another two months to sort them out for 8.04.1

[18:49] megabyte405: there is that scrolling thing, but as I mention in the bug, as that appears on no other platform, I think that's not an abi bug, and in any case, a low level bug like that (workaround: spin your scroll wheel slower) doesn't seem to be a logical blocker for two and a half years of progress
[18:49] megabyte405: 2.4 hasn't been touched in a year and a half
[18:50] tedg abandonó el canal de chat. (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[18:50] megabyte405: and the scrolling bit is the only regression.

[18:51] pitti: (that we heard about so far)
[18:52] megabyte405: I have used it, and it works well
[18:52] megabyte405: to be honest, I've been using the 2.6 branch for about a year and a half
[18:52] megabyte405: on both linux and windows
