Hi László,

thanks for your detailed explanation — I was not aware of the structural
and build system changes upstream.

Just to clarify: I’m not specifically concentrating on your packages,
nor do I use odb myself. The bug reports were the result of a rather
broad scan for packages with long-standing upstream updates and missing
Salsa repositories. It just happened to affect some of your packages.

My initial goal was mainly to migrate packages that are not yet on Salsa
to a place where team maintenance and contributions by other DDs become
easier. Given the technical complexity you outlined (repository
restructuring, build2 toolchain, unified source tree, etc.), I need to
reconsider the scope of my involvement regarding the upstream upgrade.

What I could imagine doing in any case is:
 * migrating the current packaging to Salsa in its present state,
 * documenting the upstream changes and the build2 transition in a
   README.source, so that any interested contributor has the relevant
   information readily available.

The actual upgrade to 2.5, including potential packaging of build2 and
restructuring of the source packages, would need proper planning and
commitment.

Thanks again for outlining the situation.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
