Hi and sorry to be late.
I couldn't upload the patch as the test suite crashed. I couldn't have
time to investigate. I planned to do that this week-end but I got sick
and I've been KO for 3 days. Now I'm back to life.
So just to clarify my position, yes I very much want docker.io to be in
Buster, it represents around 1 year of work, seeing it all end in the
garbage would be a bit hard to swallow but hey, that's life.
As for whether it's suitable to be in Buster, as it's been said
somewhere in this thread, it's up to the release team. Docker is what it
is, and packaging it in Debian doesn't make it anything different. As a
maintainer I can afford to maintain the packaging and import security
patches (well except I failed to be in time for this one...). So I won't
fuss if you think it's not suitable, I understand.
Thanks,
