Re: New upstream version

Hi,

thanks for the hint to debian-mentors. So I add that list and attach the
original mail to that mail. I set also a reply-to for debian-mentors und
myself (I am not subscribed to debian-mentor 'til now). I left also
debian-devel to show where the follow up is going on. (Urgh, NNTP is
that better for discussions than mailing lists!)

Hmm.. Fascinating. He did also the same than me by including the
internationalized manpages and locales (which is also lost in the latest
official package by Steve).

However, I put my dcraw package to my ftp server under
ftp://ftp.ethgen.de/pub/debian/pool/ (dcraw_8.98*) for review.

You can count for me.

Sure. As I mention I did the x post.

Package: dcraw
Followup-For: Bug #519604
Followup-For: Bug #506705
Followup-For: Bug #523789

I updated dcraw strait forward to version 8.95-0. This can be done in
less than 5 minutes. And even this is not the newest version. The reason
I need that version was that the version in debian doesn't support my
EOS500D.

However, the newer versions support many newer camera models out there.
The update will also close bugs #506705 and #523789.

I am not a debian maintainer, but I can create a NMU and send it to
Steve King (Maintainer of dcraw) for regular upload by you or give it to
another maintainer to load up the NMU if the regular maintainer is to
busy. For that reason I also cc to debian-devel to ask for a regular to
suport the upload.

Regards
   Klaus

Ps. I can also upload the package to my unofficial package repository
but I prefer to have a up-to-date package in debian.
