Aha,
The changelog at your end
http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/changelog.html says Version
2016.2.22AR.3 (Feb 1, 2017) but Debian only has 1:2016.2.22AR.2-2 in
buster, sid/unstable and experimental. The new point version has not
been released yet for Debian.
Reason is simple, the main(?) download page[1] doesn't list it. As
such, previously I didn't see that release. Jean-Pierre, any reason
for that?
This is a temporary state towards not mentioning Advanced
Releases any more from Tuxera. If you try to download from
Tuxera, you are redirected to my own site where you have to
select a supported version. The differences between Advanced
versions and Tuxera stable versions are now minimal, so the
hassle of publishing two sites using different formats can
be avoided.
I am still maintaining the Advanced versions, and trying
to release versions at a faster pace than Tuxera.
Maybe you are trying to rebuild with all new versions of the
build-depends and in a problem somewhere. My understanding of debian
packaging is pretty limited.
In what sense you mean the packaging is 'pretty limited'?
I however did try the following links to see if I could get some clue
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ntfs-3g/
nor anything on https://release.debian.org/transitions/ .
It's not yet started, as the upload is just coming.
Please share when you will be uploading to unstable so it can be
tested and tell me if there is something, some command or something
that needs testing before it lands in testing/buster.
I need to test all reverse build dependencies after it was built on
all architectures for experimental. Then I'll upload it to Sid.
Looking forward to seeing ntfs-3g 2016.2.22AR.3 in Debian soonish.
It will land in the NEW queue first due to the changed soname. Any
new feature / bugfix that you need from that release real soon?
IMHO there is no urgent need to do so, unless there is some
issue I am not aware of. The release of ntfs-3g 2016.2.22AR.3
was motivated by a security fix which you have applied to
2016.2.22AR.1 and 2016.2.22AR.2 and there are only minor
differences to 2017.3.23 to comply with Tuxera rules (no new
feature since 2016.2.22AR.2).
In a couple of months, there will probably be a new
Advanced version (mostly a "maintenance" one). If some
synchronization would be useful, let me know.
