There haven't been many changes lately, so a release > hasn't seemed pressing. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/04/msg00006.html Above is the summary of the Debian/Buster freeze schedule. After the 12th of Feb new source packages will not be accepted. I'd like to have a policy source package newer than July 2018 in Buster so a new upstream release later this month would work well. I don't expect you to go out of your way for my convenience, but I think you would probably prefer that distributions not have too old releases of policy to reduce the weird support questions. So any time a distribution that supports SE Linux is about to have a freeze and there hasn't been a refpolicy release for a while is probably a good time for it. As for not many changes, there are ~1500 lines of patches in git since the 2.20180701. I've just submitted about 1000 lines of patches and can easily submit another 500 lines or so before the end of the month. I think we can double or triple the patch size against the last release over the course of the next few weeks. Increased patch size isn't the aim of course, but it will hopefully correlate to the amount of fixes for problems that affect users. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
