Hi Phil, Quoting Phil B (2021-11-09 15:27:21) > I think you can disregard this patch as it is quite old and would have > been incorporated into the upstream repo long ago.
Agreed. Sorry that I didn't comment on it, but disregarding the patch was what the second of those runes in my previous post was about. :-) > Dave Lewis, the current upstream maintainer of the squeak-vm code, > recently (in the last few months) incorporated most/all of the patches > from the Debian squeak-vm package into his repo. Which repo is that, and where would I have had a change to learn about it (apart from picking your brain)? The more-current-than-tracked-in-Debian source that I am aware of is the Cog branh of http://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git/ - is that what you are referring to? > So if we use that directly it would eliminate the need for most, if > not all, of the current package patches and allow you to just use the > upstream code directly as we are very interested in trying to keep > that repo in sync with any needed Debian changes where possible.

(I hope to hear back from him today) I'd be quite happy to track something actually maintained upstream. > Also, per a previous email you sent you can always feel free to cc: me > at this address on-list as I am very interested in any discussions re: > squeak-vm and the upcoming opensmalltalk-vm packaging. If you are generally interested in following activities with the squeak-vm package then instead of cc'ing you it would be far more convenient that you subsribe to the package at the "Subscribe" button in top right corner of https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/squeak-vm Or if you would be interested in getting your hands dirty with packaging work, then create a Salsa account - see https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc#Users - and then request membership of the Salsa Sugar team at https://salsa.debian.org/groups/pkg-sugar-team/-/group_members - and then when you are involved, you can add yourself as "Uploader" (even if technically you are not actually permitted to _upload_ packages - the meaning of that field is nowadays more like "Contributor") and you will then get notified about activities through that indicator.
