Hi everybody :)I'm going down for the third time in a sea of troubles [1], uh, debconf files, but I've emailed this question in a bottle... :D
I keep running into the term "upstream" as a noun. I had defined it as "more recent software", but these two strings from debconf file gradm seems to imply more:
#. Type: text #. Description #: ../templates:3 msgid "gradm was deprecated by upstream" #. Type: text #. Description #: ../templates:3 msgid """Quoting upstream: (as of April 17, 2004) \"grsecurity 2.0 has been released " "for Linux 2.4.26 and 2.6.5. It is now the stable version of grsecurity. "<further instructions snipped>
Is "upstream", in fact, someone who can be quoted? Is this an organism of some kind?
Thankyou for any light you can shed on this murky ocean in which I'm currently dog-paddling. <woof>
