Hello,
I had an exchange with a fellow DD about this update and uploading this
to bookworm-backports was suggested as a possible alternative
considering the large size of the .debdiff :
> olasd | lavamind: in terms of policy, a backport would be allowed
(it's a new upstream release, it's in testing, and you seem to be using
the package, so you might as well upload it to bpo); That still leaves a
buggy package in bookworm, if the bookworm package has never worked,
pulling in the newer upstream release into a stable update may be deemed
acceptable by the SRMs; looking at the upstream changelog of
libapache2-mod-qos, the changes for compatibility with pcre2 (which is
what our apache2 now builds against, since 2.4.52-2) have been
introduced in libapache2-mod-qos upstream 11.73. Backporting the pcre2
support to the libapache2-mod-qos version in bookworm isn't a very
sensible option IMO, in terms of maintainability
If SRMs agree with this assessement, I can close this bug and prepare
and upload to bookworm-backports instead.
Thanks!
