Hello, (Small world :-P ) FYI as agreed with Alexander, the iproute2 maintainer, I've volunteered to help. [1] The rough plan is to first of all get the latest versions uploaded, so that the package versions in stretch-backports, buster and sid match the kernel: - upload 4.13.0 to sid (just done) - wait for 4.13.0 migration to buster - upload 4.13.0 to stretch-backports - upload 4.14.x to sid and block it until the kernel migrates I'll do the minimal changes possible to get the above done first, so that users can get the benefits of the new versions without delay. Afterwards, if Alexander agrees, I plan to have a look at various packaging improvements like the patches attached here and elsewhere (reproducible build, -dev package, nodoc profile, new standards version, etc). -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2017/12/msg00229.html
