Source: python-cryptography Version: 3.4.8-1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: deb...@microjoe.org
Dear Maintainer, - The debian version of cryptography (3.4.8) is from 2021-08-24 [0][1]. - The latest upstream release is May 4th, 2022 [1]. Making it almost 8 months late behind upstream. This update may have been delayed because the upstream versions starting from 35.0.0 to require some Rust dependencies [2]. Given that the current Rust integration in Debian seems reasonable to me [3], I do not see if this could be an issue preventing the upgrade. As a side note, Fedora has been using latest >=35 upstream releases since Fedora 36 [4], so it should be technically feasible. If there are other reasons for avoiding to keep up with upstream releases, please let us know in this ticket. Best regards, Agata.
