[src:kcollectd] New upstream, and new release, package takeover
Package: src:kcollectd
Version: 0.9-5+b1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Upstream has been silent for almost a decade now. I have decided to fork and maintain kcollectd [1].
I have a bugfix-only release, 0.9.1, which includes the current Debian patch set, and fixes for [2].
The upgrade is very low risk, so it may make sense to push this past the freeze.
With respect to the qt4 removal [3], git master [1] has already been ported to qt5. I'm still testing it
for bugs before making a release. This obviously would wait until after the freeze.
I'm also volunteering to maintain this package, which seems to have been orphaned.
Best,
Antonio
