    If you have any concerns about this patch, please reach out ASAP.  Although
    this package will be uploaded to experimental immediately, there will be a period of several days before we begin uploads to unstable; so if information
    becomes available that your package should not be included in the transition,
    there is time for us to amend the planned uploads.

    Hi Steve,

    thanks for the work on the time_t migration, and thanks for the diff. I'll import it to our repository, but one thing worth noting is that the diff is for the 4.19 in experimental, which will be part of Xfce 4.20 in the future. We don't intend to upload 4.19 to unstable at all, so tumbler will stay at 4.18 (4.18.1-1+b1 precisely) for now.

    We surely hope that 4.20 will be released before any freeze happens, but if you need a coordinated upload to unstable it'll need to happen on 4.18.

    I guess we can “backport” your changes to 4.18 and upload to unstable once the
    go is given?

    Well, to clarify, the patch I sent was against 4.18 in unstable; but it
    applied cleanly to 4.19 in experimental (no new sonames in experimental vs unstable), so it's been uploaded there.

    When the unstable uploads happen, they will be based on the version that's current in unstable at the time.

    Cheers,
