Changed upstream dependancy
Hi all,
"rsyncrypto" is a package I'm maintainer for (using sponsored uploads).
Upstream for the package (which is.... me) changed the package's
dependency to include "argtable" (a library for gnu-like option
processing). Argtable doesn't have a Debian package (yet - Bug#306755.
I'm the proposed maintainer, but not upstream this time).
Now here are the questions:
1. What is the correct order of things? Should I first upload a package
for argtable, wait for it to pass ftpmasters, and only then upload the
latest rsyncrypto version, or should I upload both, knowing that
rsyncrypto will be uninstallable (and uncompilable) until argtable is
accepted?
2. I cannot seem to get a response from my sponsor at the moment. I
asked him whether he would like to sponsor argtable as well (being as it
is that they are now related). If he turns out MIA, what is the
procedure I need to follow? Reissue a RFS for both packages?
Thanks,
Shachar
