bygfoot developers in sourceforge say bug is fixed in version 2.3.2; probably could be alright to update package in repos?

[Firas Kraïem (firas)]

Zlatan; No, we need a precise patch that fixes this issue, nothing else. We don't upload whole new versions of packages. Do you have the number of the svn revision that fixes this bug?

The change is in several revisions, they ought to take our 2.3.2 tag

what can we do?

[Firas Kraïem (firas)]

We can't do anything without a minimal patch that fixes this particular issue. We don't want to import a lot of unrelated changed into a stable release because of the high risk of regressions.

Or you can request a backport: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#How%20to%20request%20new%20packages
