You are the Debian maintainer and don't appear to have upload privileges yourself, so in order to update the version in Debian, you'd need to prepare a new version of the package and then find someone to sponsor it. If you need help with any of this, please let me know. I don't think I should be the package maintainer, since I don't use libcwd and should spend more time on the packages I already maintain. If you'd like to find someone else to maintain the package, the easiest way is probably to use reportbug to file an RFA or O bug against the wnpp package. There are directions on how to do so at https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ If there is anything I can do to help, short of becoming the package maintainer, please let me know. -- Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
