Hello there, after a somewhat bumpy experience following the upload of the previous upstream release of file (5.33), I eventually decided to introduce a release procedure for src:file in Debian: New upstream release uploads will go to experimental first, and package maintainers that probably would like to know about that receive a notification about that so they have some time to brace for impact. Like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new upstream release of file/libmagic has been accepted into experimental a few moments ago, version 1:5.34-1. As your package is one of those that somewhat suffered from surprising feature changes of libmagic in the past, I'd like to give you an opportunity to test and to prepare for any changes, for better or for worse. In case of the latter, use the BTS as usual to report detections that could see an improvement. My plan is to upload to unstable in a week from now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional question: Would you like to receive such notifications in the future? If yes, please drop me a line in private. Same if you think there is a better address than the "<package>@packages.debian.org" one I used this time - but I prefer role/team/package addresses over personal ones. I'll add this to a small document to debian/ so that information will be public - but not forgotten in the future. Cheers, Christoph
