Package: wnpp Severity: important The current version of the isc-kea package in the debian repo is 1.1. ISC is about to release version 1.4. The user community has been requesting the Debian packages get updated, with the current version of Kea 1.3 pushed to stable, and provide beta version 1.4 in testing.
I have been trying to contact the maintainer for over a year, with minimal success getting a response. In one reply, he mentioned back in December he is very busy. I have offered my help many times and I actually went ahead and packaged Kea 1.3, and sent him the patches. He gladly took the patches, and updated the git repo, but unfortunately he never pushed the package to the Sid repo for users to test. Furthermore, I have some bug fixes, which I have sent him and have not seen them merged on the git repo. Adam has not replied to me in over 6 months, and it seems he has no interest actively maintaining this package. I will be more than happy to take over the maintenance or become a co-maintainer of this package. Currently it looks like there is an error with the build system accessing the git repo, which needs fixed. Most of the bugs should be fixed with latest patches I have. Thanks, Jason Guy
