Package outdated, please update to 0.6.0/0.7.0

[Michiel Sikkes]

The GNOME Chemistry Utils unstable (0.7.0) and stable (0.6.0) have been released. Please update this package to make gchemutils work.

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

Dapper is in upstream version freeze. We need a good reason to upgrade -
new features genrally don't qualify as good reasons.

Just for your information: The version Ubuntu ships is heavily outdated. The latest available gnome-chemistry-utils package from the 0.4 stable series is packaged since since a long time (http://debian.wgdd.de, where the gcu-package is taken from). And atm I'm updating the gcu package to the latest 0.6 series, which should be available in a few day, so maybe an UVF exception report would make sense ("your" decision). But I'm not an Ubuntu user nor an Ubuntu maintainer, so I cannot care about updates to Ubuntu packages. The packages will move to the Alioth debichem project soon too (http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debichem) and then Jordan Mantha will probably care about updates to these packages.

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

Jordan, what do you think about this?

[LaserJock (laserjock)]

The most recent source package I see at http://debian.wgdd.de is 0.4.8. I'll try to follow up with Daniel about what has actually changed (lots of bug fixes or mostly just features) and if a 0.6.0 version is coming soon. If there are a lot of bug fixes I'll try to get an UVF exception but my intial thought is that this late in the release cycle perhaps it should wait until we start the next release in June (Edgy) unless it has lots of bug fixes.

Change status to confirmed.

[Daniel Leidert (dleidert-deactivatedaccount)]

The latest availbale version awaits approval in NEW: http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html. I suggest to sync it from Debian, when it has passed NEW.

[Daniel Leidert (dleidert-deactivatedaccount)]

It has been approved sime time ago and already hit Etch.

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

gnome-chemisty-utils 0.6.3 is now in feisty.
