Hi, It looks like UsrMerge finally broke the "cruft" engine for good. As a mix of bash, Perl and ad-hoc C helpers, it has be unmaintainable and mostly unmaintained for so many years. request bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=941998 RM request: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1020293 I wasn't notified about the RM request and stumbled on it by luck, but I won't oppose it, and will consider moving the rule database that is now in cruft-common into cruft-ng; although in a smarter concatenated format, to avoid wasting inodes with tiny 1 line files. Does cruft-ng needs to start providing a transitional "cruft" binary package / command for pre-existing users, or is this such a niche Q&A utility (in the likes of adequate, piuparts, diffoscope, lintian) that it can go without ? cruft-ng still has ways to evolve, for example by processing the globing patterns for R/W files provided in AppArmor templates by more and more packages. Any comments are welcome. Greetings, Alexandre Detiste
