I'm the Debian maintainer of zpaq. I'd like to explain why the zpaq hasn't been updated since.
* Not having any manual pages. the pages were hand written by me. The pages are quite extensive in size and coverage. * After 1.10 the zpaq infrastructure changed radically. It was split into library part and client part. It was not possible to upgrade to new versions as the manual pages and all the source code very very much incompatible. It was not possible to merge in changes. After every new release this divergency has increased. The situation is comparable to apache1 and apache2: The Apache2 is a rewrite and not upgradeable in source level. I suggest that somebody opens a RFP (request for package) for "zpaq2" or "zpaq-new" that is based on the new infrastructure. The packager also probably needs to start from scratch to e.g. write the associated manual pages. There are no viable solutions or possibilities as far as I can see to update 1.10 any further. Possibly this bug might be marked as "wontfix" in Debian tag parlance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074840 Title: Zpaq package isnt up to date (wasnt updated over 2 years) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zpaq/+bug/1074840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
