mate-common_1.7.0-1_amd64.changes ACCEPTED into unstable

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi Adrian, hi Stefano,

I have to apologize... I have probably been too (far too) enthusiastic  
last night. After a night full of sleep and after your mail, Adrian, I  
realize that the update packages should well have remained in Git (or  
been uploaded to experimental).

Point fully taken!!!

Ähm... is 1.7.0 not a stable release? I was not aware of that. I could  
have been if I had communicated with you guys. I see that now.

Something inbetween b+f probably...

So what I can do now (probably tonight): get hold of one of the  
ftpmasters here at DebConf and ask for help. This would probably mean  
a removal of the uploaded packages and a re-uploade of packages from  
the 1.6.1 version branch.

Shall I do that?

My thinking when uploading was: until we have all packages in place,  
we have to go through them again anyway to upgrade to latest upstream  
releases. However, I understand, that this could also be done with the  
1.6.x series.

Adrian, I am sorry, it was a mistake, I will take responsibility for  
that getting fixed.

However, today is the DC day trip, so I will be visiting CERN the  
whole day through. Actions I can take tomorroow or maybe tonight, but  
during the day I will mostly be offline (mobile phone has a Swiss SIM  
card, so I read my mails).

Greets+Thanks+Sorry,
Mike
