I did the upload on 2/15. At the time of the upload, I missed the deadline for the soft freeze by three days. I don't consider this a large or disruptive change so I uploaded the package hoping it to get accepted anyways. Admittedly, I then lost track of this package and realized only earlier today that it still hadn't made it to unstable.

I didn't realize that Moritz backported the security fixes to an earlier upstream version. I managed to locate the git commits but wasn't comfortable with backporting them to version 0.5.2, not all of them applied cleanly and I lacked the confidence to resolve the conflicts. Thanks Moritz for taking care of this! > > As for gpac/0.7.1+dfsg1-1, I cannot find a debdiff for it on the mailing > list nor the BTS. Therefore, I have no clue whether it is suitable for > buster. The debdiff is unreasonably large (several MiB), there are a *lot* of unrelated upstream changes included. I'll spare you to review it. Given we do have those RC bugs fixed with more targeted patches, I no longer see the urgency to get 0.7.1 into unstable. Would you agree with having 0.7.1 in experimental instead? If so, I'd upload it as 0.7.1-2 to experimental. Let me know if you have any thoughts or concerns on that. Best, -rt
