Hi, unstable will be moving to 5.18 soonish, so this mainly concerns wheezy. Assuming a clean enough patch, I expect we can push it into a stable update. Unfortunately 6f48390ab209d16ee8f795f0a83677c8bd9ac69c isn't easily backportable, there are conflicts due to earlier changes in the 5.15 series. I haven't had the time to work through them yet. If you (or anybody else, of course) want to help, a clean backported patch for 5.14 would be appreciated. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
