Hi,
I've uploaded the new package on mentors.debian: http://mentors.debian.net/package/gparted
The respective dsc file can be found at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gparted/gparted_0.12.1-1.dsc

Here the build log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003391/

[Paolo Rotolo (paolorotolo)]

I can prepare a SRU if you want.

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

Most of those changes do not affect Ubuntu, and the rest are very minor in nature. An SRU requires a narrow, specific patch to fix a critical bug, so this is not a candidate for one.

[Paolo Rotolo (paolorotolo)]

Ok, can you upload it in quantal please?

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Shouldn't this package be uploaded to Debian first?

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

Yes, it needs uploaded to debian, and then it will be automatically synced.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Do you need a Debian sponsor? Please make sure that the package is lintian clean and you might want to check the bug report with patches attached.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Settings to triaged, it's not fix commited and there is no specific reason to block on Debian if they are not responsive there...

@Benjamin, do you plan to help getting it uploaded to Debian?

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Yes.

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

I got the last upload into debian and would like to keep ubuntu synced to debian. I'll get this updated at some point, I just need to make sure it builds and runs on debian.

0.12.1 has synced from Debian - marking 'Fix Released'.
