Package: pithos
Version: 1.1.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #839825

Dear Maintainer,

I tried using the reportbug command,
but I'm not sure that I did it correctly
and that that the email went through.


So I will try again this way.

The package for Pithos in Unstable is 
years behind upstream (currently 1.4.1).

While I am not running Debian Unstable, 
a quick check of packages.debian.org
confirms that Sid is using the same 
ancient version as Ubuntu is, so I think
reporting this upstream is appropriate.

There's already a bug report for it being outdated, 
but it's marked as "wishlist" for some reason.

On the contrary, I'd say being this out of date 
is a fairly serious bug for the package.

By the way, I'm not sure where your build system is
trying to fetch the source from, but they are
currently on github:

https://github.com/pithos/pithos/releases

If you've been getting it from somewhere else,
then they've apparently moved. 

If you have a build script
that's supposed to fetch and
build the latest source, 
then it is sorely in need of updating.
