Package: podget
Version: 0.5.8-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi Dave,

The version of 'podget' in Debian repository hasn't changed in a long
time. 0.5.8-1 is the package version available in all: oldstable,
stable, testing and unstable.

This version of podget has been released nearly 6 years ago and there
have been several realeses since then, with the newest one (0.6.7)
being released over half a year ago.

Over the years the package accumulated several bugs which haven't been
fixed or have been dealt with upstream but not fixed in the package.

There's also a similar bug report in Ubuntu filed over a year and
a half ago [0].

Considering all of the above but mostly the fact that you are also
the upstream developer it seems that enthusiasm to maintain the
package after uploading it to Debian repository has waned quite
quickly.

Do you have any plans updating the package?

Kind regards,

Raf
