I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Apart from reading these kind of hatemail comments in Debian bug reports... :) In this package there are two other bugs since 1.3 which never went upstream: - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=302176, - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645623. There are no new upstream releases since 1.3 to fix these issues, so even if we continue patching this in Debian, folks will have to duplicate the work in all other systems, like Fedora or BSDs. If you really want to help instead of just sending around opinionated rude emails to folks who work on stuff in their free time, you should take ownership of upstream maintenance of the code. Maybe you should email the guy who already started this 4 years ago: https://github.com/halfdan/vlogger (google search for "vlogger github"). Or you can just fork 1.3 and add these three bugfixes, call it 1.3.1 (or 1.4) and then ask the distributions to use your source code version. This is not to say that I'll not fix this by patching it in Debian. I'd just like to ask you that in the future you either: - ask _nicely_, - and/or be constructive and do your part of work where you can. There is also some debugging task to do: - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506246 Just have to replicate the environment on a machine and try it out with a lot of requests to see if we can reproduce at least. Or some little, easy issues: - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=299796, - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=299872, - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=299873, - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=569786, - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735195.
