Feature Freeze Exception: New upstream version of pulseaudio 0.9.10.

[Luke Yelavich]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

The new upstream version of pulseaudio is a bugfix release, as shown by the attached changelog.

There have been a fair number of pulseaudio bug reports in the past weeks, and getting this new upstream version in as opposed to pulling patches manually will likely help resolve a lot of issues that users are experiencing.

What are the new features which need approval? Reading the changelog, I see a lot of "merge rXXXX from trunk" which are not clear whether they are bug fixes.

What the heck is the following? :-)

 * src/daemon/main.c: actually set lennart to the user name, not the
   group name. Set lennart too.

Welcome to the wonderful world of lennartp applications. In lennartp
terms, this means: set the username to the one specified in the config,
not the group name. but, set the groupname to the one specified in the
config too.

Or something like that.

I'm attaching a file with a dump of all the svn revisions listed in the changelog for merges that were not fully described.

Thanks. I wonder about the impact of

r2130 | lennart | 2008-03-28 06:11:05 +1100 (Fri, 28 Mar 2008) | 1 line
rename polkit policy file to org.pulseaudio.policy to follow upstream guidelines

does that need a corresponding change anywhere else? For what does our Pulse use PK (or is it used at all?)

The rest looks fine to me. So if above change is not an issue, approved.
