lftp package #305160



Hello,

lftp was removed from sarge because of #305160 "linked against libssl".
I uploaded a ssl disabled version (3.1.3-1) to get it fixed because
upstream will not add the needed GPL/openssl exeption:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lftp%40uniyar.ac.ru/msg02022.html

Debian package changelog:

lftp (3.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream from 2005-04-15
  * disabled ssl support because of license problem. See:
    http://bugs.debian.org/305160
    http://www.mail-archive.com/lftp%40uniyar.ac.ru/msg02012.html
    http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2
    http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html
    If the author add the needed exception to allow to link
    against openssl it will be enabled again.
    Better a lftp without ssl than no lftp in sarge.
    (closes: Bug#305160)

Its a new upstream version with the follow changelog:

some bugs fixed. 
      * added mirror --loop option to re-mirror until no changes found.
      * fixed mirror creating too many children mirrors.
      * fixed cls and mirror with http backend, when PROPFIND returns
        404 error.
      * fixed mirror --use-cache with sftp backend.
      * fixed a rare hang in sftp.

It should have make it into sarge but the arm and sparc built packages
weren't uploaded (but built:
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=lftp) and this missed the
yesterday freeze status.

Now I have the following question to this status:

- Will you hint the lftp 3.1.3-1 package when the missing archs will be
there (ssl disabled and upstream minor fixes)?
- If not will you allow 3.1.2-2 (same as 3.1.2-1 but ssl disabled)?

Thanks.
