[Bug 1073730] Re: Hedgewars 0.9.18 released

[Jamie Strandboge]

Backports are ideally supposed to work without any changes. Based on
previous comments in this bug, it sounds like this patch is probably not
what you want. To make this easier for backports you would either need
to make packaging changes which would only apply this patch on raring
and later, or submit a different patch that handles both ghc-7.6 as well
as earlier ghc. To me, this is an upstream issue and any patch should be
submitted there first, since they presumably want to support ghc-7.6. I
suggest talking with upstream, then getting this into Debian
experimental and then requesting a sync to Ubuntu so that we don't have
an Ubuntu delta.

I am unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. When you've decided how to
proceed and there is something to sponsor, please feel free to
resubscribe. Thanks!
