Okay I've read through issue #2865 -- thank you for discussing the release issues there. I totally agree that it would be preferable to ship 1.3.0-rc1 rather than the release I had to do from git because: - the release from git doesn't come with a GPG signature, so no GPG verification can be done - DFSG tarball repacking required due to non-free documents in git submodules (which also wrecks GPG verification) - the release version numbers when shipping from git are terrible - the debian/watch file can't be used when making a tarball from git, at least when also needing to make DFSG modifications afterwards, AFAICT - when users write bug reports, they're for a version that doesn't exist upstream :( I'm willing to do the work needed to release this to Buster, assuming the Release Team are agreeable, due to all of the issues above. What I'll do to start with is have a look at the -rc1 tarball ASAP to see if it requires DFSG repacking. And thanks for your continued in Mumble, BTW. It helps me to know that doing the work I do helps others. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
