advi currently fails to build from source in sid (#534020), which makes it RC-buggy. This won't affect OCaml 3.11.1 transition, but this should still be fixed nonetheless. I've created branches sid/{master,upstream} in the git repository, and prepared a fix there. There is a new upstream version, but IMHO properly packaging it needs some work and time, so I preferred to fix the version currently in Debian. Here is the current last changelog entry: advi (1.6.0-14) UNRELEASED; urgency=3Dlow [ Ralf Treinen ] * Added Homepage field to debian/control file [ Sylvain Le Gall ] * Update my email address [ Stephane Glondu ] * debian/control: - clean up Uploaders and add myself there - add DM-Upload-Allowed - replace obsolete build-dep on x-dev (Closes: #515364) - remove dependencies on obsolete packages gs, xbase-clients * Switch packaging to git * Switch patches to quilt, add README.source * Add a patch to fix build with recent camlimages (Closes: #534020) * Bump debhelper compatibility to 5 * Fix typo in changelog (s/adress/address/) (thanks Lintian) * Switch debian/copyright to new format -- Stephane Glondu <steph@glondu.net> Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:38:00 +0200 There remains work to be done, but it will need some time. I won't be against any change before upload, of course, but I think it should be uploaded very soon. BTW, it seems that noone cares about this package (maintenance-wise). IMHO, the package is not really in good shape and I don't use it myself, and if there weren't so many interest in it[1], I would orphan it and have it removed from testing (at least)... maybe a formal RFA would be appropriate?
