There's no need to apply for Debian Developper status to contribute to Debian, packaging or otherwise. But in any case, I can assure you that the vast majority of applicants are able to complete the process in a couple of weeks. But anyways, let's not hijack this thread to talk about Debian, feel free to contact me if you have questions about getting involved in Debian!</DD hat>

If you look at the git repository for freerdp2-dev, you'll see that the sources have been updated to freerdp-2.1.0 just a few days ago: https://salsa.debian.org/debian-remote-team/freerdp2/-/blob/master/debian/changelog Therefore it seems very likely that the next Debian stable release will include a reasonably recent version of freerdp2. -- Jerome --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
