Bug Description

I would like to get approval for a FeatureFreezeException for the package "scribes" for the releaseversion r899.

REASONS: The current version in ubuntu (and debian as well for that matter) is r543 and is severely broken with many bugs fixed in the new release. Even the author has stated on http://mystilleef.blogspot.com/2010/10/scribes-gets-ubuntu-ppa.html that the version in ubuntu should NOT be used. I will file a bug in the debian BTS too to get the update in debian so we can sync for the next ubuntu release.

IMPACT: The package has no rdepends.

CHANGES: The list of changes is extensive, I've attached a changelog compiled via the "bzr log" command.

BUILDING: The build process in a clean pbuilder environment finished without error, buildlog attached.

TESTING: I've installed and tested the basic functions. It works without errors.

DEBIAN-CHANGELOG:

scribes (0.4~r899-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New Upstream Release (LP: #724061)
    - Lots of bugfixes
  * debian/patches
    - 01_gnomeprint_check.patch
    - 02_gnome_check.patch
      removed, they are not needed anymore
    - 03_sysconfdir.patch
      updated

Just found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/scribes/+bug/721780
It might be a good idea to use r910 as r899 has issues for some people in natty.
