[Rock-dev] [Rock-users] rock15.05.1 sub release

[Janosch Machowinski]

I would propse, to redo 15.05.1 as
15.05 + This patch:
https://github.com/planthaber/package_set/commit/6db889d15975a0481bf897b6fb52e9bff2d91405

Are there other known issues with 15.05 that also should be addressed ?
Greetings
     Janosch
