i uploaded this as a “NMU” (Non-maintainer uploader) to Debian, which will take 10 days to trickle down to unstable, and from there, another 10 days to trickle down in testing. I don’t know how much time it will take to trickle down into Ubuntu, and some work will be needed to make the cut for 18.04LTS, but that’s outside of my jurisdiction now.
BTW, as part of the NMU process, we have the habit of sharing a diff between the two versions on the bugtracker. This was a problem for RPD the diff between 0.9.7 and 0.9.9 is huge:
$ git diff upstream/0.9.7 upstream/0.9.9 | wc -c
28707596
That’s 28MBs! It looks like most of the changes are in raphodo/qrc_resources.py but there are also thousands of lines of changes in upgrade.py and install.py. It would be nice to avoid such massive changes in the future, maybe by moving those assets to a separate directory?
