Let me know if you need help renaming the Git repositories on > Salsa. Git repository on Salsa migrated (dhcpcd instead of dhcpcd5. Thanks for your help. The src:package will implement this change in 10.0.1-1, which I should be able to upload once Bookworm has been released. Martin-Éric

Thanks. Let me know if you need help renaming the Git repositories on Salsa. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer

I just uploaded a package that handles the binary transition to Mentors. Sponsors are welcome. Beyond that, renaming the src package will be a tad more involved, since Git repositories on Salsa and on my development host need to be migrated to the new namespace, and the content of d/control and d/copyright upgraded to match.

I fully agree. I've been meaning to do that at the same time as I upload 9.4.2, pending upstream release. Now that upstream has informed me that the next release is unlikely to happen until some time next month (too close to the freeze), I might do it during the Christmas vacations instead. Martin-Éric
Bug#1026169: dhcpcd5: Please rename source package to dhcpcd
Source: dhcpcd5 Version: 9.4.1-11 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: bdr...@debian.org Dear Maintainer, The source package name `dhcpcd5` does not reflect the reality any more. Debian stable ships version 7 and testing/unstable version 9, but the source package name indicates that is the version 5. Please rename the source package from `dhcpcd5` back to `dhcpcd` and probably also the binary package. The package has only a few bug reports and therefore this source package rename should be easy. Thanks. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
