Yah... But have you checked experimental package I uploaded. It uses DebSrc3.0 and improves security of binary :-) http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/axel axel (2.4-1.1) experimental; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Remove dpatch dependency. (E build-depends-on-obsolete-package) * Add hardening with dh v9. Closes: #645271 * Include unreleased upstream fixes. Closes: #533103 * Fix FTBFS for GNU/Hurd. Closes: #532793 * Add ja.po and unfuzzy translations. Closes: #663286 * Support IPv6. Closes: #525290 * Support copyright-format 1.0 and update policy to 3.9.3. -- Osamu Aoki <os...@debian.org> Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:27:37 +0900 > Let me know if there is anything that needs adjusting or if it is ok > to upload this version in a NMU in case you are working on other > issues needing attention. Making such NMU will remove experimental package. Is that what you think desired result? http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/axel.html What is needed is prompt action by the maintainer to upload proper unstable package, I think. > Thanks, > Jari As I understand, maintainer told me he is going to make upload soon of new version. It has been more than a month ago ... If maintainer can not do this, he should orphan this package.
