(CC-ing Leo, who is uploader, too) Hi,
I was about to offer stepping up as a co-maintainer for libevent because my forked-daapd package would profit from having a newer version in Buster and it seems the packaging team could use some help. I have uploaded an alpha version to experimental long time ago which need an update anyway. Leo, Anibal, would you be OK with that? I see Roberto you already claimed the package in dla-needed.txt, but if you don't want to finish it I can make the Wheezy update, too. Cheers, Balint 2017-02-04 1:33 GMT+01:00 Roberto C.
