I packaged version 3.2.6 way back in 2008, and tried to send my patches for upstream consideration, but got nowhere, so I figured it wasn't worth the effort to port several dozen patches for every new upstream release. A year ago I re-started the effort with the 5.1.3 package, with the understanding that upstream would merge many of those patches. Others such as Denis Barbier, Andre Espaze, and Gerber Van de Graaf, Christophe Trophime and Alain Leufroy contributed a lot, and the package made a lot of progress. Andre Espaze did the hard work of porting the patches to newer upstream versions (at least 5.1.4), and I believe sent them upstream for merging. Andre, has upstream merged in your new versions of the patches, or do we need to forward-port them all again to send in for merging? Fortunately upstream now uses an open git server, so we can port patches to that in order to help upstream merge them. There are some patches which are debian-specific (*-debian-*.patch), and a few which upstream does not want to merge but I think most of those can be worked around. I'd be glad to help with re-starting this packaging effort... -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
