Thanks for checking in, but history and the size of my todo list indicate that I will not be able to take care of this myself. That said, the patch should cherry-pick/backport quite easily, as the code in question should not have really changed between wheezy and jessie. (I also think there are some non-security issues known with the version in wheezy that probably make it unsuitable for use in many sites, but I suppose that should not keep us from providing updates.) -Ben > If yes, please follow the workflow we have defined here: > https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development > > If that workflow is a burden to you, feel free to just prepare an > updated source package and send it to [email protected] > (via a debdiff, or with an URL pointing to the source package, > or even with a pointer to your packaging repository), and the members > of the LTS team will take care of the rest.
