Source: libpff Severity: wishlist Hello.
Firstly, it should be made known that packages.qa.debian.org is showing that there is a problem with the URLs for this package. According to what I could find, the libpff project moved away from sourceforge. It looks like it was located on Google Code for a while, but has since moved to GitHub at https://github.com/libyal/libpff (this assumption is based on the owner of the libyal group on GitHub being the same person who filed the ticket at SourceForge requesting project removal - http://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/3913/ and is also based on Google searches for the libpff project.) Secondly, the version currently provided by Debian appears to be several years old. Downstream in Ubuntu and elsewhere, it looks like users are trying to use these tools but are forced to compile the software to get the newer software. While this is typically not an issue for power users, for the less technically inclined with the coding and compile-from-scratch side of OSS it is a disadvantage. To that end, it may be prudent to investigate whether the software can be updated in Debian. ------ Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
