Package: wdiff
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
It would be nice if wdiff in Debian could be updated to latest upstream
version, see release announcement below.
As temporary new upstream maintainer, I will go through all Debian wdiff
bug reports and see if anything applies upstream, and I could assist
with Debian packaging too if you want.
Consider using upstream git instead of tarballs as the source, for
better supply-chain auditability, although doing so requires a bit of
work (compare e.g., libntlm or libidn2 packaging for gnulib magic).
