Changes since the last upload:
libnl3 (3.5.0-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Non-maintainer upload (Closes: #983310):
* For this NMU, modifications have been limited to:
- Symbols have been updated
- Patches have been refreshed
I really did the minimal changes here for this package that seems no
longer maintained. I contacted the maintainer a year ago and again a few
weeks ago but I never got any replies. I notified the MIA a week ago.
The last version in Debian is the v3.4.0 while the latest upstream
one -- v3.5.0 -- has been released in 2019.
This lib is used by a bunch of apps to communicate with the Linux
kernel. The 3.5.0 version adds some new features but it also fixes bugs,
some can be considered as important, e.g. avoiding a crash in some cases.
This packages has a few lintian issues but if I'm not mistaken, no new
ones compared to the previous version. Because it is a NMU and the
situation is unclear with the official maintainer, these old lintian
issues have not been addressed.
Regards,
