Thanks for the ping, I certainly did miss the initial message, since I'm not listed as maintainer and didn't get sent an email automatically. > On Wed, 31 Oct 2018 10:10:46 +0100 =?UTF-8?Q?IOhannes_m_zm=c3=b6lnig?= > <zmoel...@umlaeute.mur.at> wrote: > > On Sat, 20 Oct 2018 14:49:43 +0000 m...@debian.org (Manuel A.

So I had plans to upload to unstable, but then noticed that the new upstream maintainer (in copy) changed the SOVERSION. I don't know if there's an actual break in ABI or it was just to set it and be the same as the version of the library, but in fact this will cause a transition, so it's what stopped me from uploading to unstable. I think that I asked Frank about this but didn't get a reply yet, I know that he's been busy with misc things. I suppose that we can either upload to unstable and request a transition slot, and everything will be fine, or check that the ABI didn't change and patch to keep the old SOVERSION. Would you like to help with that? I've been kept busy and without a continous stretch of time to review and deal with the issue properly, also because of other Debian duties, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to deal with that. > > (btw, where is ftgl-2.3.0 upstream? is it the > > https://github.com/ulrichard/ftgl fork?) I don't know why it's so buried in github, but Richard was not interested in being the main maintainer and as discussed in https://github.com/ulrichard/ftgl/pull/9#issuecomment-428309601 the de-facto maintainer is now Frank. Also from https://github.com/ulrichard/ftgl/ main page/README: ftgl is currently hosted at: https://github.com/frankheckenbach/ftgl Current maintainer: Frank Heckenbach <f.heckenb...@fh-soft.de> Cheers. -- Manuel A.
