Hi Michael,

please unblock package network-manager.

The current version in testing is 1.42.0-1 and upstream has created two
stable point releases 1.42.2 and 1.42.4, cherry-picking various fixes
into the nm-1.42 stable branch, most notably a fix for #1031891,
a regression in the dnsmasq DNS backend when using a global DNS
configuration.

Upstream is rather conservative in cherry-picking fixes into their
stable branches and the package ships an extensive test-suite, which is
run during build.

What does "rather conservative" mean? Do you have a link to their policy?

Normally we'd like to have a more verbose description of the changes. The diff is uncomfortably big. Please try to avoid white space changes next time too (debian/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules), those are horrible to review. Is there a reason why you "Use execute_before instead of override for dh_install" now?

Next time, please provide the full filter that you used. I would not have guessed from that line that you stripped a lot of docs/ too.

No new regressions were reported for 1.42.4-1.

I would thus like to see 1.42.4-1 unblocked for bookworm.

Ack. I'm leaning to let it in now, but later in the freeze, please cherry-pick or defer.

Paul
