Maintaining yaml-cpp in collab-maint? (Was: [MoM] Packaging OpenSurgSim)
Hi Lifeng,
Paul tries to build a package which needs a newer version of yaml-cpp.
Upstream has accepted his patches as he wrote in his mail to the
Debian Med mailing list[1]

I would volunteer to inject it into collab-maint Git except Lifeng might
not agree with this. Once it is in Git we could update the packaging
and ask Lifeng for confirmation for the group maintenance or whether he
likes to upload himself.
