Awesome, looks good. I won't upload it immediately, though. The version in NEW has been uploaded on 2016-12-24 5:41am. Alas, testing migration checks the time since ACCEPTED (which still hasn't happened), so most likely the package won't make it to Stretch, but there's still a chance for a migration bug like we just had with RC bug counts, the Release Team getting swayed by promises of beer for allowing packages by upload date, etc. It's far easier to argue if the date is 2¾ days before the deadline than over 5 days after it. I'd put your update into DELAYED/25 but that works only up to 15; I'll be _very_ careful about getting run over by a bus before then :) (Or sooner if things straighten out earlier.) > Is there a way how to download full package from debian ftp-new ?) Unfortunately no. As far as I know, in the past the reason was some weird demand by the US authorities to have Debian send them notification of every new piece of software before it's published, not sure what's the current explanation. I doubt it's unchecked copyright status, as mentors.d.n nor Github/etc have such issues. Perhaps just inertia? Anyway, I see you already duplicated picking that patch so there's no need for further action. Upstream cares about the long run rather than 4.9, but for Debian 4.9 will stay relevant for a long time. As for the real fix, I still haven't figured out how to get patches past Al Viro, it's nowhere as simple as through Greg KH :/ Meow! -- Autotools hint: to do a zx-spectrum build on a pdp11 host, type: ./configure --host=zx-spectrum --build=pdp11
