Bug Description

Please sync gnome-boxes 3.10.2-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

3.10.2 introduced a lot of bug fixes and very useful new features like supporting of importing of ready-made disk images.

I added the upstream changes history in a comment below. Changes history is since 3.9.2 because I couldn't find since 3.8.4.

Changelog entries since current trusty version 3.8.4-1:

  - qcow
  - cow
  - raw (.img extension)

  - vmdk
  - vpc
  - cloop
  Also gzip compressed images are supported.
- Show a spinner on top of under-construction boxes in collection view.
- Fix cancellation of ovirt authentication.
- Asynchronously initialize brokers so UI doesn't remain empty for slow

Since this is a major version upgrade, this would need FFe to get into 14.04, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze_Exceptions on how to set this bug up like that.

Note that also Final Freeze begins after today. Is there instead some specific bug that would need fixing in the 3.8 series?

No, I don't think it's a good idea to do this the day before final freeze and one week before release.

I might be open to change my mind if one of the Ubuntu GNOME team argues for this change though.

Alternatively (and preferably), you could get this into 'U' and go for an official backport.
