apologies, i did not realized tqdm reached the "key package" status, otherwise it'd have been more careful with the recent uploads :( > and we really want to avoid > unnecessary changes at much as possible at this stage. How much smaller > is the diff between 4.51.0-1 and 4.56.2-1 compared to the current diff? i let salsa do the diff, as i believe it's a bit easier to navigate than pure debdiff (at least for upstream changes): https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/tqdm/-/compare/upstream%2F4.55.1...upstream%2F4.56.2 and this is the upstream diff between 4.56.2 and the latest upstream release in unstable, 4.57.0: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/tqdm/-/compare/upstream%2F4.56.2...upstream%2F4.57.0 which i believe is relatively tiny and mostly contains minor changes > And what's in the additional delta? sorry, delta between what specifically? 4.56.2-1 and 4.57.0-2? https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/tqdm/-/compare/debian%2F4.56.2-1...debian%2F4.57.0-2 the changes in the packaging files are just what's required by the upstream code changes.
