Hi Daniel,

The reason we chose 0.12.7-0ubuntu1 is that the changes in this branch apply only to the Ubuntu version, as the problem is not present in upstream (checkbox 0.12.7). So -0ubuntu1 meaning there's no debian package (0) and this is the first ubuntu-specific package (ubuntu1). It's the first time we use this naming scheme, as before we'd always matched an upstream release with the Ubuntu release, and we weren't too sure it was the right thing to do.

Also, we will probably submit 0.12.8 from upstream in a few days, as we have a few critical bugs we need to fix. So we were wondering what would happen if you change the Ubuntu version to 0.12.8 and then upstream puts out 0.12.8.

What I could suggest, if it helps in any way, is to hold off on 0.12.7-0ubuntu1, and we could roll the permission changes when 0.12.8 is out. That way we kill two birds with one stone (the permissions thing, plus the bugs fixed in 0.12.8 proper).

Thanks for your help!
