Package: src:wiredtiger
Version: 3.2.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello.

This package is stuck at version 3.2.1 since Debian 11 (oldoldstable)

File debian/README.Debian says this is because MongoDB switched to SSPL.

However, MongoDB and WiredTiger are different projects, and
according to "LICENSE" file as found here:

https://github.com/wiredtiger/wiredtiger

it's GPL and therefore DFSG-compliant.

There is even a special page regarding WiredTiger licensing:

https://source.wiredtiger.com/license.html

So: Is there a real reason for this package to be stuck at version 3.2.1?

------------------------------------------------------------
Side note: I have no interest in the package, except for the fact
that it makes my single-cpu autobuilders to hang:

[...]
PASS: test_wt1965_col_efficiency
PASS: test_wt2403_lsm_workload
PASS: test_wt2246_col_append
E: Build killed with signal TERM after 60 minutes of inactivity

I wonder if Laszlo would be willing to look at that and determine if it's
a bug in the code or a bug in the tests, but naturally this would be
only useful for trixie if the problem goes away in the latest version.

Thanks.
