Bug#952560: please package new upstream snapshot
Package: elpa-magit
Version: 2.90.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
magit is at version 2.90 in Debian, which is over a year old. upstream
has worked a lot on refactoring a lot of things upstream, and a bunch
of third-party libraries have adapted to follow that.
for example, magit-todos doesn't work with the latest magit version in
Debian...
could we maybe package a snapshot version in experimental, so that
people could start to sync up? i'm afraid of a "one big release"
approach that we seem to be heading towards, and which might break a
bunch of stuff...
it feels like everyone is using magit from MELPA right now, which
seems far from ideal, especially when packages like magit-todos are
entering debian, *relying* on versions from MELPA instead of Debian!
thanks!
PS: upstream seems to have stopped making releases as well, which is
why i'm asking for a snapshot, see:
