Hi Scott! As mentioned in bug #329541, the package libfile-tail-perl is not updated for more than two years now. The upstream version of File::Tail (0.98) was released long time ago, the current upstream version (0.99.3) was released in September 2005. In using it I noticed, that 0.98-5 seems to jump back to the start of the viewed file sometimes in heavy loaded environments, while the 0.99.3 version doesn't show this buggy behavior.
So I think, that libfile-tail-perl should be upgraded to the current
upstream version as soon as possible.
If you like, I could upload an NMU (I attached the patch to #329541
some weeks ago), alternatively you could nominate me as a
co-maintainer so I would be allowed to upload new version or if you
are no longer interested in the package I could take over
maintainership of this package.
Please let me know, how to work on with this.
Tschoeeee
Roland
