Yes, unfortunately that introduced a new issue with an unrelated PR that was merged in the meantime as well. I'm on it (https://github.com/jeffkaufman/icdiff/issues/68). >> Sure, I guess this is something to be done after the package entered unstable? > > It can be done before or after that, there is syntax for ITPs.

OK, I have already done that in my version here and will push it with the next upload. >> Please let me know what you think. > > How about packaging 1.8.1 and then I'll upload it? 1.8.1 currently FTBFS due to a setuptools-related change that was also introduced in this version. Currently discussing this with upstream to sort it out. I will ping the list again if there has been progress. Thanks for taking a look, Sascha
