Hi

Will wbxml2 be updated? There is version 0.11.4 (https://github.com/libwbxml/libwbxml/releases) but Ubuntu has only 0.10.7.

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I found a corresponding Debian bug so I have attached a bug watch.

This package is still at version 0.10.7-1. Has there been any work on the Debian project? Can I help in any way to get this package updated?

Since there didn't seem to be any activity in the corresponding bug report, I took a look in the Debian package tracker (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/wbxml2) to see if it had any more information. Unfortunately I found that the package has been marked as orphaned earlier this year, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=852499 for more details. I believe this means that the package will be kept in the archive, but someone will need to step up in order to get newer versions or serious fixes in.

You may look into help maintaining the package, probably contacting the current maintainer whose email is listed on the package tracker page. He presumably knows more about the details and where it would make sense to start.

There is https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ and https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ but they contain EVERYTHING so can be rather overwhelming :) Plus, since you start with an existing package most of it should already be in place.

Hope this helps :)
