Cool, saw your reply about the new version of progressbar package updated
and uploaded.

Followed the github PR this morning and saw gofeed was merged and
your email to the list about packaging the new version.

I'm going to go through the commits since the versions used in Amfora
1.8 to make sure there are no breaking changes, and then update the
debian/patch for Amfora to no longer use the forks. Once you've packaged
the newer version of gofeed I'll build Amfora again from 1.8 with the
patch and that should hopefully be it.

If all goes well I'll ping you when the Amfora 1.8 is ready for review
and upload.

Also talked some with Amfora upstream today and they are excited about
the PRs and Debian packaging. They did have one question about if Amfora
would get into buster-backports or just be in sid until it migrates to
testing.

What is the procedure on backporting a package (probably to
bullseye-backports since it's almost released). Is Amfora 1.8
a candidate for backports once it's all squared away and in
experimental/unstable?
