Re: finalizing the Lush 2.0 release

Happy New Year!

1.2.1-8+cvs20101229  got uploaded into Debian experimental.

Do you think it would be of benefit for you if I provide backports of lush for
all Debian/Ubuntu releases from our http://neuro.debian.net repository?

I have moved packaging from elderly SVN to GIT:
http://git.onerussian.com/?p=deb/lush.git;a=summary

Here is the list of changes in packaging:

lush (1.2.1-8+cvs20101229) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fresh upstream CVS snapshot -- might be the last one in lush 1.x
    series:
    - supports Renesas SH(sh4) (Closes: #574258). Thanks Nobuhiro Iwamatsu
      for the patch
  * debian/copyright: switched to DEP5 format
  * debian/compat,control: dh compat version 7
  * debian/control:
    - Policy boost to 3.9.1 (no changes seems to be due)
  * debian/patches,source,control: switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format
    from dpatch
  * debian/rules,...: simplifying to take advantage of dh7

There was also an upload to unstable (which migrated to testing/squeeze
already) fixing patching issue:

lush (1.2.1-7+cvs20080204) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fixed paths cvs20080204 so fresh versions of dpatch behave nicely
    (Closes: #608218). Thanks Jakub Wilk for reporting and Hideki Yamane
    for providing the fix 
  * Added Vcs fields for easy debcheckout.  They point to freshly
    (re)initialized (using git-import-dscs --debsnapt) GIT repository
  * Added ${misc:Depends} to lush-library Depends (per lintian
    recommendations)
