Description Jeremy Fillingim 2008-05-26 17:04:31 UTC
There are many bugfixes for meld upstream, but no plan for a release. Here is a patch to pull meld-1.1.5.1 up to current.

Many language translations have been added.
Git support has been improved.
Mercurial support improved.

I don't think it's reasonable to put a patch that is 23345 line long in portage. If upstream is too lazy to push a "bugfix+translation" release out then too bad but this seems a bit excessive for me. If someone from herd disagree, feel free to reopen.
Comment 5 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2008-05-26 18:13:25 UTC
Is there any resource where release plans of meld can be read about? Has there been any discussions regarding a release to be desirable, and if yes, what was the result (and maybe links to mailing list or bugzilla?)
Comment 6 PaX Team 2008-07-03 13:49:22 UTC
FWIW, 1.2 was released a week ago, could that go into portage?
