(Get the code!)
Thanks Fabrice,
Why unstable:-
1) New version is only available in unstable (this new version has
been out from upstream for over a year and a half).
2) A build dependency problem is preventing it from moving to testing.
3) I synced from unstable to get the new version and fixed the build issue.
I've been in contact with the Debian maintainer, and he is going to
upload the fixes I have in this package to Debian unstable, which will
migrate into testing - and we can just sync from there. I'm also
thinking of adopting the package in Debian, it's RFA-ed.
We're now just waiting for Debian to upload the fix so it can migrate
to testing, but it has been two weeks without an upload.
If you want to hold off and wait for the upload, migration, and then
sync - that could make sense too. What do you think? If I was doing
the upload, I'd hold off a bit longer to see if Debian uploads it.
