Re: recutils is marked for autoremoval from testing

Hi Mattia,

thanks for the quick reply.

I changed Build-Depends to libglib2.0-dev instead.

Would you sponsor this precious little package?

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/recutils

https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/recutils/recutils_1.7-2.dsc

Would be great.

Cheers,

  Sven
