You appear to be agreeing with what I said, I think. And doing so without having agreed that with the backports team violates the rules of backports. https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/#index4h3 ; " With the release of a new stable version uploading packages with versions greater than in new stable or new stable-security are not allowed. So if you want to upload a new package version from e.g. forky to bookworm, use bookworm-backports-sloppy as the target distribution.

Indeed, which is one of the reasons that it's not allowed. > Thus, I was hopping, kicad 9.0.3 will be proposed for stable updates > before the next point release in September. Then someone needs to do that, by following the standard procedure as per the Developers Reference and https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2025/08/msg00003.html I'm afraid that someone will not be me. I have absolutely no interest in the package, nor free time to be sponsoring an upload. Regards, Adam
