Actually, subsurface 4.2 is already in Debian experimental https://packages.debian.org/experimental/subsurface
Unfortunately, I cannot upload it in unstable for now because libgit2 API is not (yet?) stable: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745960 I will try to see with the maintainer if we can get an upload in unstable... By the way, I haven't dig yet but it seems that the libgit2 detection is failing on some archs: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=subsurface&suite=experimental And yes, we try to avoid as much as possible static links (and here, static linking would not change anything since the package is not available in unstable). Linus, I heard that you are going to talk at Debconf tomorrow, just troll my fellow DDs about this ;) (for personal reasons, I am not at Debconf this year) Cheers, Sylvestre _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
