[Python-apps-team] Bug#715561: new versions of 'beets' are available

[Raf Czlonka]

Package: beets
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

While I do appreciate the fact that the version available in the
repository is from January this year (2013) and that 'beets' is in
active development (this should actually be "because of" rather than "in
spite of"), I'd like to request 'beets' to be updated, at least, to
version 1.2.1 (possibly 1.2.2 if it gets release soon) and, if possible,
be kept up to date (as much as possible) with upstream version. This is
not only because of new features which are available in new versions,
but especially with bug fixes which these version introduce.

I do understand that 'beets' is packaged by a team effort, rather than
an individual, and judging by the number of team members on Alioth [0],
you are not short of people. If you do, however, need a hand packaging
'beets' (as this is the only application I am currently interested in) I
would be more than happy to give a helping hand.

Kind regards,

Raf
