Micha Zajc's for kubuntu-dev

[Harald Sitter]

Aloha Michał,

Do you have a bug fix you are most proud of? (like it was super
difficult to fix or most enlightening)

For my second question let me place you in a scenario.
It is only a couple of days to release. A new Amarok version gets
released to packagers (i.e. only in a few days to the public) which
promises a vast amount of improvements in every possible area of
software quality (reliability, speed, user experience...). Upstream
urges us to include it in the new release as it carries a considerable
amount of vital fixes. Currently the archive holds a not too old git
snapshot of Amarok and in fact we have seen a number of critical bugs,
so those issues likely got fixed in between the snapshot and the final
tagging. However there has been a number of branch merges upstream so
that the codebase got changed a lot between our snapshot and the
release essentially disqualifying cherry-picking. There is a freeze
exception standing for Amarok.
No other Kubuntu developer is around as everyone is at Riddell's,
attending a wibbly wobbly timey wimey party. Due to the closeness to
release you need to make a decisions ASAP.
What do you do and how do you reason your decision?
