[Backport] CheckGmail 1.13-1ubuntu1 to Gutsy

[Brett Alton]

Binary package hint: checkgmail

CheckGmail version 1.12-1ubuntu1 is currently broken in Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 due to a backend or RSS change in gmail. If I'm incorrect, the reason does not matter.
CheckGmail version 1.13-1ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 currently works with the gMail.

I'd like to see 1.13-1ubuntu1 backported to Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 so that no patches are needed to fix this program.

[Kemel Zaidan aka Legendario (kemelzaidan)]

I support this request and sign for it.

[Steve Stalcup (vorian)]

Builds fine in a clean gutsy environment. Tests fine. Uploaded candidate to the backports ppa

[John Dong (jdong)]

ACK from backporters:
checkgmail | 1.13-1ubuntu1 | hardy/universe | source, all

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

If the gutsy version is broken, then this shuold become an SRU. Backports are not for bug fixes.

I have no objection against an upload of 1.13-1ubuntu1 into gutsy-proposed, and after someone tests it properly, move it to -updates.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Fixed in Hardy

[LaserJock (laserjock)]

I don't have an objection either, jdong, how about you? My only concern would be about setting precedent regarding new upstream releases in -updates. I'm not sure exactly what our microrelease policy is for Universe.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Is it possible to isolate a fix without backporting the whole package? Looking at upstream SVN repository, I think these checkouts will solve this issue avoiding to publish in -proposed a new set of features:

The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life -

Gutsy task.
