Some additional notes: the latest stable upstream release (1.09) of tack
is already over four years old and does not contain a fix for the FTBFS
bug #1066469. I have asked for a 1.10 release, but since that has not
come forth yet, I decided to package the latest snapshot instead. There
a no reverse dependencies and very few users, so the risk should be low.
I have not yet finalized debian/changelog and tagged a release on Salsa
to prevent confusion in case additional modifications are needed. Will
do that once the package is accepted in the archive.
Cheers,
Sven
