Package: yagv
Version: 0.4~20130422.r5bd15ed+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist

The upstream source linked to from the debian package upstrea,
<URL: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:38118 >, is
<URL: https://github.com/jonathanwin/yagv/ >.  This this github project
have not seen any changes for five years, and contain fatal crash bugs
when reading files produced by Cura.

Recently someone decided to fork the yagv code as yagv-ng, available
from <URL: https://github.com/FMMT666/yagv-ng >.  Perhaps this is a
better upstream for the Debian package.

I've just tried to email Jonathan Winterflood to see if he respond to
email and are willing to update his version of the code, but given the
five year of inactivity I suspect it is a good idea to switch upstream
to a more actively developed version.
