[Bug 991179] Re: 7.0.24 "computation error" bug

[Thomas Ward]

Steffen:

Referring back to my earlier comment regarding SRU, to update the
Precise package (and get the updated version into the precise-updates
repository), an SRU request would need filing.  I went and talked with
one of the SRU team, and they would want a version to exist in the
current development version (Quantal) that builds and runs.  Then, with
that version, it can be SRU'd to Precise.

In short, Precise is in a sense 'frozen' on its current version
(7.0.24+...) until a version exists that builds on Quantal (of which
7.0.27 does not).

I should point out that while I am BugSquad, the decision on Precise
updating is up to the SRU team and the MOTUs, neither of which I am.
Ideally, though, a version needs to exist in Quantal that builds an runs
before SRU-ing to Precise, except on very rare circumstances
(summarization of what the SRU team member told me).  Given that UDS
will be going on today and tomorrow, I am not going to poke the MOTUs or
the SRU team about this until tomorrow.
