Binary package hint: gnome-commander
Jun 29 2009 new version of gnome-commander (1.2.8) with important bugfixes was released. Please package for Ubuntu 9.10, because current gnome-commander in Ubuntu Karmic and Jaunty has a lots of crash bugs, for example bug #379224 (Gnome-Commander crashes when trying to establish ftp connection)

Can we please have a FFe for this? I would add that 1.2.8 release represents almost 1 year of development. In addition, it was followed by a bugfix release, so hopefully the most outrageous bugs introduced in 1.2.8 have already been fixed.
The NEWS entry for 1.2.8 was given above. Here is the entry for 1.2.8.1:
