Ok, thanks for the update, sounds reasonable to me! > I'm currently updating my 1.2.10-1 prepared upload for Debian with a patch > for #787384, which I just did for the package in my repo only for Sid, > because the new zeroc-ice hasn't transitioned to Stretch yet AFAIK. The reason I'm really interested in this is because of the PFS cipher support. Unfortunately, it seems like this isn't particularly useful unless things are built from the git head at the moment, and maybe that support isn't even finished. It would be great if this could be brought into the debian packages (even if it might need to be done before 1.3 is released), see https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/1811 >> I'd really like this available as a jessie backport, so I'd love to see >> it transition soon! > > I'm not pleased with the way backports currently work; bugs for packages > from a backport aren't supposed to get reported to the normal BTS but > instead a [debian-backports] mailing list.

This is a problem with the bug reporting path for backports, I agree. However, I dont think that this particular bug means that backports aren't useful, in fact they are incredibly indispensable for us, just that the bug reporting path is a bit annoying. I dont think that this should preclude backports from existing. > However... in the meantime if you want a mumble 1.2.10 package for Jessie I > have one available on my own repository here, which you're free to use: > > http://debian-packages.coredump.us thanks, I used these to test things out, the packages seemed to work well for me on jessie. micah
