As far as the binaries are concerned, packaging-wise, only the manpages are missing (and proper d/changelog entries). C-library packages are not included as they are not built by neither package (nor they could be within debcargo-conf IIUC). Still, as I've already expressed in my last emails, I am not interested in maintaining the binaries. If Andrej, or tarzeau (both in cc), or really anyone else, is interested in doing so, they can just signal their interest and I'll add them to the Uploaders, add the manpages and re-upload the packages (again, through to my sponsor). Otherwise I see no value in re-uploading packages no-one is actually interested in maintaining, all the more if they were already removed from testing. Noooo, no no - that's not how we are playing this! Either you take over and you *maintain* the project, or you back off. Doing a one-off release of the easy part - the library only, and then instead of stepping up and doing the rest you argue that falling out of testing is an indication that it is irrelevant? Come on - grow up! I take back my endorsement. Please clean up the mess you did with your accidental one-off relase, and let people that care for long-term and proper maintenance handle it. Or do the right thing and *care* for the package!
