Yes, I was actually planning on helping get this into backports as well (assuming Tony doesn't beat me) as that is basically what I am already doing with the Ubuntu PPAs, though Debian backports is a bit more of a formal procedure in comparison. And yes, as Tony mentioned, it looks like we'll need to wait for things to cool down a bit and have TrustedQSL get into testing before we can go forward and publish anything for backports. I originally got into doing this for Ubuntu after spending some time helping some users on the ARRL LoTW mailing list hand compile TrustedQSL for their Ubuntu boxes and decided I should just start backporting the latest Debian Sid release to the various current Ubuntu releases. Since Tony's been good about keeping it up-to-date, I just have the easy task of adjusting a few build-deps as needed for older Ubuntu releases and the occasional patch for compatibility. In any case, I decided to preemptively create a backport commit and discover what it takes. It looks like this package is simple to backport as it currently compiles cleanly on stable. All I had to do was create the appropriate changelog entry. I've tested it on Bookworm and it seems to be functioning properly. If you are interested in taking a look, I updated the backports branch on my fork here: https://salsa.debian.org/penguin359/trustedqsl/-/commits/debian/bookworm-backports 73s, Loren K7IW > > - Nate > > -- > "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all > possible worlds.
