I see that it's been uploaded already. By "see ... in order to confirm"
I meant "before upload"; apologies if that wasn't clear.
Looking at the diff that was uploaded, I do have a few questions I'm
afraid:
ChangeLog | 91 ++++++
Makefile.in | 4
doc/proto.html | 515 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
doc/proto.markdown | 565 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
gznbd/Makefile.in | 641 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
libcliserv.la | 41 +++
man/nbd-server.1.sh.in | 5
man/nbd-server.5.sh.in | 105 ++++---
nbd-3.8/debian/changelog | 7
nbdsrv.c | 17 -
nbdsrv.h | 5
tests/code/clientacl.c | 2
That's much bigger than I was expecting given your description, and I'm
not sure all of the changes were intended to be included.
For instance, the Changelog diff includes the release of 3.11,
doc/proto.{html,markdown} are completely new, man/nbd-server.1.sh.in
mentions a new(?) option and man/nbd-server.5.sh.in describes a
behaviour change in nbd 3.10.

Adam
