Bug Description

Binary package hint: gpsbabel

GPSbabel 1.3.4 has been out since August 2007, but strangely is not included in Hardy (which has 1.3.3)

I suggest/request the most updated gpsbabel to be included?

It's now 1 months later - would anyone mind including this small but important upgrade in time for the release of Hardy? Thanks!

I'm afraid it's too late for Hardy officially.

I however will get the Debian package in my PPA for Hardy.

Bruce; thanks!

Please share information here when it's available and how I can use it. Also - worth considering for hardy-backports after the April release? I'm happy to test...

Thanks!

You'll have to file an Upstream Version Freeze Exception to get this done "properly".
