Thanks Adam,
I applied the patch to the package currently in stable (0.5.1-1) and
added a debian/changelog entry, mod-gnutls (0.5.1-2) stable; urgency=low
http://www.sfu.ca/~jdbates/debian/pool/mod-gnutls/
The package has no more recent changelog entries, e.g. from the packages
in testing/unstable - similarly I won't include this changelog entry in
the next upload to testing/unstable?
Here's a diff between this package and the package currently in stable,
http://www.sfu.ca/~jdbates/debian/pool/mod-gnutls/patch
Now I think I simply ask my Debian sponsor to upload this package
This is the first time I will upload to stable - please let me know if
I'm making any mistakes?
Thanks again
