Re: Wheezy update of libevent?
(CC-ing Leo, who is uploader, too)
Hi,
I was about to offer stepping up as a co-maintainer for libevent because
my forked-daapd package would profit from having a newer version
in Buster and it seems the packaging team could use some help.
I have uploaded an alpha version to experimental long time ago which
need an update anyway.
Leo, Anibal, would you be OK with that?
I see Roberto you already claimed the package in dla-needed.txt, but if
you don't want to finish it I can make the Wheezy update, too.
Cheers,
Balint
