QNapi in Ubuntu repositories is extremly outdated

[Mateusz Stachowski]

The latest version of QNapi even in Wily is extremly outdated. The 0.1.5 version was released in 2008 and the Ubuntu changes were made in 2010.

Debian has the latest version 0.1.9 in stretch (testing) and sid (unstable). They are maintained by the same guy that had PPA with QNapi but he doesn't maintain that PPA anymore.

Please synchronize the package from Debian ASAP.

Thanks for reporting.

It's fairly close to the release of Wily, but it might be possible to sync this before then. I've subscribed the ubuntu-release team so that they may take a look at it. I'm not sure whether this falls under bugfix or new upstream release, but you may want to a look at the page for Feature Freeze (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess).

Have you done any testing with the newer package on Wily?

If it doesn't work out for some reason, the package will be automatically synced to the next Ubuntu development release.

Yes I installed the package from Debian without problems and it works as expected.

I already downloaded three subtitles one Polish and one English so the recently added (in 0.1.8) support for backup language also works.

Here are upstream changelogs for all the newer versions starting with 0.1.6-rc2 published in 2009:

This is a leaf package (no reverse build/binary dependencies), and got tested, so release team ack.
