Well, first of all: I'm an enthusiastic user of Mixxx and I'm very
sorry that it won't be available in Squeeze, but deep freeze is in
effect and the new release provides too many new features.
Of course, I've tried to ask upstream's authors to help me reviewing &
backporting patches from the 1.8.x series, they always said: "please
upgrade mixxx to 1.8".
This is not a criticism, I understand their reasons and policies but
many changes have been introduced, and I don't feel comfortable to
upload them into the next Debian 'stable' at this point.

BTW, new Mixxx releases will be available in unstable/experimental
and, once squeeze is released, I'll try to backport the most recent
one from unstable/experimental.


Regards,

           Alessio
