Comment 7 for bug 989252

Is it possible for Ubuntu to release a new version containing this patch, for 12.04 precise and up?

- This patch has the same content of what was applied upstream:
https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint/changeset/b68f274aaab72edcb4cced3d8f4d60bd9d1f0353

- Upstream already released debian packages for 0.25.2 and 0.26, but none of them made into debian's unstable yet (only 0.26, in experimental)

- This is a severe usability issue: pyling-gui simple does not work at all without this patch.

If it is possible to release an "0.25.1-1~0ubuntu1" , what would the procedure be?

If not, how can I apply the patch myself in a way that future releases of pylint (if any) will install cleanly, without any dpkg conflicts?

Thanks!
