Upstream has released a new version of smokeping, 2.8.2 and it would be helpful
to upgrade the debian package to this version since it contains a number of
fixes, some of which would remove patches in the package.
I've received two emails directly requesting the new version so I'm creating
this bug report to reflect their wish to have this version.
Friendly ping, that v2.8.2 was released on 2021-08-13 and the freeze
for Debian/bookworm is coming closer. :) Would be great to have the
new smokeping version in the upcoming Debian stable release.
Thanks for maintaining smokeping!
thanks for the ping! I've been concentrated on another project recently
but you're totally right, I should make the last efforts required to get
that version into testing soon!
The current state of things is that the new lib dependency to version
2.8.2, libobject-result-perl, is created and I've received some feedback
from the perl team:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2022/09/msg00005.html
I should fix the license text and maybe open a bug report upstream for
the typo.
In the mean time, I'm wondering if you're willing to help out a bit with
reviewing my work on smokeping, that way we could move faster once the
perl lib is in unstable. Upstream version 2.8.2 was merged onto the
"master" branch. IIRC it's currently awaiting the dependency and then
should be ready for review/sponsorship (but there might still be lintian
issues that I haven't looked at because of the new library)

cheers!
