It's useful in a very minor way that is not specific to the freenet package. i.e. someone wanting to work on the debian packaging for freenet should read previous emails in this thread, instead of placing too much weight on that tool. > And btw., what is the progress of the packaging? :) Lots of things to do, see previous emails. Next task is to upgrade bouncycastle in Debian, which is less trivial than I thought it would be: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libbcprov-java <infinity0> any particular reason we uploaded bouncycastle 151 and not 154 in december? <ebourg> infinity0: bouncycastle upgrades are really painful, because they frequently break the reverse dependencies <ebourg> someone has to find the time to test them all and patch the issues <ebourg> and the fact it's a security library makes it worse, because a bad fix can open vulnerabilities <ebourg> that's one of the most difficult packages we maintain I think, along with the build tools <infinity0> i guess it's not like upstream provides "long term support" for each of the versions it releases? <ebourg> indeed, but upstream is rather helpful when we ask for help with a backport Whoever is interested in this work can talk to #debian-java on OFTC for more details.
