Hi Mike,
I re-compiled the deb package of 4.2.2 of sid for buster for myself sometime
ago.
Was straight forward, just download the Debian sources, the package
dependencies and build. I think I used
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
but https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial
suggests debuild.
I did not see an announcement of 4.3.0 also
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_news.html
does not mention it. I found it in the Download section, is there any other
place where it gets announced?
Thanks
Rainer

Also there is the mask file feature that enables you to define down to
pixel level which areas to watch.

Back in 2015 I wanted something to quickly create masks and used python and
convert from imagemagick. It was using these libs:
#!/usr/bin/python
from Tkinter import *
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename
import Image, ImageTk
import sys

" I found it in the Download section, is there any other place where it
gets announced?"
Please forgive my ignorance - I am apparently not versed on software
distribution protocol as it pertains to repository publishing. Can I
assume, based on your question, that one should not expect to see a package
in a repository until it has been formally "announced" - in some way?
Thank you,
Mike Sims
