Package: newsboat
Tags: bookworm, sid
An increasing number of packages in Debian are using rand 0.8
upstream, while it's generally possible to patch them to use
0.7 I think we should prefer patching stuff to use newer versions
over packaging stuff to use older versions where possible. So
I started investigating an upgrade to rand 0.8.
Most of the packages involved are maintained by the rust team
and I will upload them after I upload rand 0.8 to unstable
newsboat however is maintained outside the rust team.
The only changes needed to make the package build were
changing the dependencies (both in the Debian packaging and
in Cargo.toml).
A debdiff is attatched, do you want to handle the upload after
rand is updated in unstable or would you like me to NMU it?
rand 0.8 and sufficient related packages to build newsboat
have been uploaded to experimental if you want to test things
in advance of the update in unstable.
