Bug#822856: RFS: dvtm/0.15-0.1 NMU



Hi

I could understand that, but
1) lets avoid experimental features
2) lets try to keep changes minimal.

I mean, a package refactor might be acceptable if the current packaging is broken/unmaintainable, not
just for fun
(BTW I would also apreciate you opening important bugs for your changes, e.g.
"please add hardening"
please avoid STRIPPING of binaries
and then propose a patch for them.

(avoding compat level 10 will remove a lot of the diff, and STRIP is something new in this release, so you
can avoid a bug)


>BTW, is it some rule of thumb, how many days of no response to

>NMU/MIA?

Since you opened the "please update version bug" [1] one year ago, I propose you to bump
the severity to important, and then wait some little more time.

I'll for sure put the upload in deferred/15, so the maintainers will have time to react
(adding the time you will need to prepare a good package :) )
