I am not sure I can get this version into Jessie. The reason is that I
want first version 0.2.11-3 to migrate to jessie, since it contains
coordinated changes (blas.pc/lapack.pc) with the other BLAS
implementations. The migration should happen October 25th if everything
goes well. Then I could upload 0.2.12, which will take 10 days to
migrate, so maybe it can make it before the freeze (November 5th), but
the time margin is very tight (I am actually not even sure that this is
feasible).

Uploading 0.2.12 right now would mean taking the risk of not having the
coordinated changes (blas.pc/lapack.pc) in jessie (because 0.2.12 could
introduce new problems), and I don't want to take that risk.

In the worst case, if 0.2.12 does not make it into jessie, it will still
possible to fix issues in jessie that are of severity important or
higher (in practice, that means crashes or wrong calculated results). If
you are aware of such fixes that are incorporated into 0.2.12, you can
either tell me or open new bugs against openblas (linking to upstream
bug reports and commits).

Thanks,
