Hi >I do not want to put a pressure on anyone, but if it is the only way
>to make big changes to package, let's do it. I could understand that, but 1) lets avoid experimental features 2) lets try to keep changes minimal. I mean, a package refactor might be acceptable if the current packaging is broken/unmaintainable, not just for fun (BTW I would also apreciate you opening important bugs for your changes, e.g. "please add hardening" please avoid STRIPPING of binaries and then propose a patch for them. (avoding compat level 10 will remove a lot of the diff, and STRIP is something new in this release, so you can avoid a bug) >BTW, is it some rule of thumb, how many days of no response to >please-package-new-upstream-version-bug should pass before considering >NMU/MIA? Since you opened the "please update version bug" [1] one year ago, I propose you to bump the severity to important, and then wait some little more time. I'll for sure put the upload in deferred/15, so the maintainers will have time to react (adding the time you will need to prepare a good package :) ) [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793472 thanks Gianfranco
