Re: Bug#907293: stops: Please consider making another upload and refreshing package
Hi Boyuan,
> Dear stops maintainer (Hi Free Ekanayaka)
Maintainer for this package is Debian Multimedia Team, it's just that
Free was the last uploader.

As I recall, this package is static data, and may not ever need to be
updated upstream. Debian's version 0.3.0 is still the current release:
http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html
stops is a dependency of the active package
https://packages.debian.org/sid/aeolus which has a new upstream release
available (0.9.7).

Sounds good! Also #888669 might need looking at. I am not a Debian
Developer but happy to help if I can find a sponsor.

Hopefully that will not be necessary, aeolus is a unique software
instrument and it would be a shame to lose it from Debian.
Cheers!
